Mastopexy (boob lift), commonly referred to as mastopexy, can correct sagging and loss of firmness caused by aging, pregnancy, or nursing. It can be performed alone or combined with either breast reduction or augmentation surgery procedures.
During your procedure, a surgeon will put on a hospital gown before marking and incising around your areolas to create incisions for surgery. They then proceed with extracting tissue for reshaping before repositioning nipples before closing incisions to complete treatment.
The Cost of a Boob Lift
A boob lift is designed to lift and reshape sagging or drooping breasts to give them a more youthful, perky appearance. This surgery may be performed to correct loose breast tissue caused by heredity, pregnancy, significant weight changes, or breastfeeding as well as reconstructing it after cancer treatments or for other purposes.
Boob lift procedures are usually performed in tandem with either reduction or augmentation surgeries and often involve implants. They usually last around two hours under general anesthesia and involve creating an incision around the areola to remove excess skin before moving it up higher with pincer incisions closed over them and giving their patient a supportive bra afterward.
Patients typically can return to work within a week after having undergone breast lift surgery, though exercise should be avoided until all incisions have healed fully. While the effects of breast lift surgery will last many years, gravity, aging and other factors will eventually take their toll again on your breasts – however, the cost is usually much less than other cosmetic procedures like facelifts or implants.
The Cost of a Boob Reduction
Breast reduction is a procedure designed to decrease the size of overly large breasts, relieving back and shoulder discomfort and helping patients find clothing that fits. If it is performed for health-related purposes, breast reductions may be covered either partially or fully by medical insurance companies; however aesthetic breast reductions typically aren’t; since they fall under cosmetic surgery’s category.
RealSelf notes that surgeon fees play a substantial role in the cost of a Dallas boob lift procedure. Their experience, geographical location of their practice, the complexity of the procedure being undertaken, and hospital/anesthesia fees as well as whether an augment is being performed concurrently can all affect its final price tag.
Combining both procedures into one surgery is often less expensive and more convenient, as this means only one set of facility and anesthesia charges need to be covered. Many patients also prefer having only one recovery period instead of two; this option could be particularly attractive to women who forgo having breast implants but want to reduce sagging instead. It is wise to consult an experienced plastic surgeon in advance for a customized quote for both procedures.
The Cost of a Breast Augmentation
Mastopexy (boob lift), also known as mastopexy, can give your breasts a firmer and rounder appearance by eliminating sagging due to pregnancy, childbearing, or aging. For women looking for additional size or fullness in their breasts, breast lift surgery can also be combined with implants (Breast Augmentation with Lift). Your surgeon will explain all the steps involved before surgery as well as answer any queries you have regarding its process and risks.
At your surgery appointment, anesthesia or sedation will be administered. The surgeon will make incisions around each areola and possibly another running vertically between the inframammary fold and bottom of each areola to create a “lollipop” shape; remove excess skin, and tissue, tighten muscles, and trim away fat before closing incisions and bandaging the area after which there may be some swelling post-op.
Your surgeon will provide a care plan with guidelines for your recovery. Most patients can return to daily activities within weeks. It is important to follow all instructions from your surgeon in order to avoid complications while living a healthy lifestyle will help to maintain results longer-term. Cohesive silicone gel breast implants often outlast saline-filled implants; speaking to a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon can help determine which implant type would work best for you.
