Am I a Candidate For a Breast Lift?
The breast lift has been an effective tool for many women to love the way their body looks and feels, especially after going through dramatic physical changes. At Mouchantat Plastic Surgery, we often see many women coming to our Denver-based practice looking to improve the shape or position of their breasts after significant weight loss, pregnancy, breast feeding, or due to aging. While a breast lift can be a life-changing procedure, it may not be right for everybody. Today we’re going to take a closer look at who is a good candidate for a breast lift at Mouchantat Plastic Surgery.
Physically Healthy Individual
In order to be a good candidate for a breast lift (and for most major surgeries), being physically healthy is an important factor—which also includes not smoking.
Another important component, and more specific to breast lifts, is maintaining a relatively stable body weight. If you are currently on the path to losing more weight or your weight is fluctuating at this time, you may want to consider waiting until you stabilize. This includes if you are wanting to have more children in the future, as often the breasts will change in size during and after pregnancy. This ensures that your results are as long lasting as possible.
Dissatisfied with Breast Shape or Nipple Placement
A breast lift is a procedure to help sagging breasts by removing excess skin and create a more lifted appearance. Additionally, if a woman is upset with the nipple placement (for example, facing downward), Dr. Mouchantat can help give the appearance of a more youthful breast by repositioning the nipples to appear perkier and lifted.
Furthermore, if you are unhappy with the shape of the breasts or bothered by asymmetry between the two, a breast lift can be an excellent procedure to restore balance. Dr. Mouchantat’s goal of breast lifts is to create beautifully shaped and lifted breasts for our Colorado clients.
Content with Breast Size
Occasionally we have women who confuse a breast lift with breast augmentation. While these two may sound similar, the results are dramatically different. With a breast lift, your breasts will not increase in size. For example, you will continue to have a similar bra size as before the procedure. A breast lift focuses on lifting the breasts and reshaping them so your chest will appear more youthful and perky. If you are more interested in increasing your breast size volume, you may want to consider breast augmentation instead.
