Why Get a Breast Lift?
Breast lift surgery provides an excellent option for individuals who may be self-conscious about their breasts and would want to improve their self-image. However, it’s important to remember that changes to your breasts, such as sagging or drooping, are a fully normal part of the aging process. More formally referred to as breast ptosis, sagging occurs at different rates and to varying degrees, influenced by several factors, such as:
- Age
- Body Mass Index (BMI)
- Bra cup size
- Cigarette smoking
- Weight fluctuations
If you’re experiencing breast ptosis, Dr. Phillip Dahan will first assess your condition and place you in the proper breast ptosis category. The degree of breast ptosis may be determined by seeing where the nipple falls with respect to the inframammary crease. Then, Dr. Dahan will recommend and perform the best surgical technique based on the unique structure of your breasts.
Is It the Right Time to Get a Breast Lift?
Generally, you can opt for this procedure at any time, but a few factors can guarantee your best results. You may be well-suited to consider a breast lift:
- After 18 years old
- Have good overall health
- If you do not expect or want any future pregnancies
- If you are in a position to dedicate part of your routine to post-operative care and recovery for at least a few weeks
- If you are happy with your breasts’ size and want to improve their shape
Ultimately, there is no cut-off age for this type of cosmetic surgery, and deciding whether and when to get a breast lift all depends on what you feel is best for you. If you need some answers before coming to a decision, do not hesitate to reach out to Dr. Dahan’s office today.
