During boob lift surgery, your surgeon will sew, cut, or trim away tissue and fat to create the shape you’ve requested for your breasts. They may also move areolas/nipples higher up on their body or close any incisions they create.
Your surgeon’s fees typically make up the bulk of a breast lift’s costs; however, other expenses can arise, including operating room fees and anesthesia expenses.
Cost of Boob Lift
Multiple factors go into calculating the cost of breast lift surgery, from surgeon fees and facility charges to anesthesia costs and postoperative garments/garment refills and pain prescriptions.
Your location also plays an integral part in determining cost. Depending on factors like surgeon training, experience, local market demand, and office rental agreements, you could pay more or less than another patient from another city for their boob lift procedure.
When considering combined procedures such as breast lift and implant procedures, such as adding volume by augmenting with implants as well as lifting, the overall price can be higher. This is because adding volume requires more time and materials than just lifting alone – your doctor can help determine which option best meets your goals.
Risks of Boob Lift
Though boob lift surgery offers many advantages, like all surgical procedures it carries some risks. These risks may include bleeding, infection, and adverse reactions to anesthesia used during the procedure; tissue may become damaged itself (known as necrosis) with blistering and foul odor developing over time – not likely but possible during the recovery process; blood supply to nipples/areolas could become temporarily interrupted which causes them to lose shape or stop producing milk production altogether.
Preparation
A boob lift can give your breasts a perky and youthful-looking makeover, whether you are doing it as part of a mommy makeover, after weight loss, or due to natural aging – and the results can be amazing.
Before your surgery, there are a few preparation steps you need to take. First and foremost, arrange for someone to drive and stay with you afterward. Also, avoid smoking and take steps to lower the risks involved with complications; specifically discontinuing certain medications or supplements that increase bleeding and bruising risk.
Your surgeon will charge a fee for their time and expertise. Consulting an experienced plastic surgeon is well worth the investment in terms of time, money, and pain; they can help you achieve the look you desire with minimal scarring. A crescent lift involves making incisions around the areola followed by vertical cuts through the breast crease – this procedure can help those suffering from serious skin or tissue sag.
Recovery
Expect swelling and bruising after having your breasts lifted. To help minimize these side effects, avoid heavy lifting and sleeping on your side as much as possible. Your doctor may suggest medication to prevent blood clots; you should discuss these medications with your primary care physician to adjust dosage levels if necessary.
Your surgeon will perform this procedure to remove excess breast skin, move your nipples to higher positions, reduce areolae size if necessary, and close incisions with stitches or surgical tape.
Complications associated with breast lift procedures are relatively uncommon but can include bleeding, infection, and damage to nerves, blood vessels, or muscles. Numbness in the nipples and areolas might last several weeks after surgery, and this should be minimized by following all instructions from your plastic surgeon as well as making arrangements for childcare if required.
