There are a number of factors that can lead to some women wanting to have a breast augmentation procedure at some point in their lives. As we age our skin loses its elasticity and the weight of the breast tissue can lead to breasts feeling less firm and appear to droop. Other factors like breastfeeding or changes in body weight can also add to some women feeling their breasts are less firm or sagging.
Breast surgery is a good way to turn back the clock and correct the changing shape of your breasts as we travel through the decades. There are a number of options, and each procedure should be tailored to you, and your shape and size. Many ladies do not require or want the additional size that implants bring, and are therefore more suited towards a breast uplift which can enhance, shape and uplift a sagging breast.
Breast Lift Procedures
It is quite normal to worry about undergoing a surgical procedure; many women are hesitant about having breast uplift surgery for fear of visible scaring following their surgery.
There are a variety of options available for a breast lift procedure and a variety of incision points for you and your surgeon to discuss and choose from depending on your type of surgery and desired outcome. Here at Red Rose Desire we invest a lot of time in each of our patients: advising, listening, supporting, to ensure that we help you achieve your end goal and dream.
Minimal Scaring
If you are looking for a breast lift that leaves very little evidence of a breast surgery procedure, then the crescent breast lift could be a consideration for you.
The crescent breast lift is a great option if you have minimal sagging or drooping of your breasts. It is worth noting, that it is also possible to carry out a breast augmentation (breast implant) along with a crescent breast lift procedure to create a fuller, firmer and uplifted look to your breasts.
Our surgeon will make one small crescent shaped incision along the top half of your areola (nipple area) in each breast. A crescent shaped area of skin is removed, which will elevate the nipple areas upwards creating a more youthful appearance.
If you have opted for breast augmentation, then an implant will also be inserted into the breast at this point.
The crescent breast lift will give you an uplifted looking breast shape with minimal visible scaring that will fade and blend into the areola as time passes.
After Your Surgery
As with all surgery you will need to follow a care program to ensure the best results from your surgery. Your care team at Red Rose Desire will be here with you every step of the way, providing support, advice and any medication you may need. Our team will support and guide you through every aspect of your surgery options and your aftercare nurse and patient care team are available throughout your cosmetic surgery.
You should expect to experience some swelling and soreness following your breast uplift surgery. This will ease with time and we will provide you with pain control medication to help ease any discomfort.
We also recommend that you don’t do anything too strenuous for the first few days and don’t return to work until a week after surgery. You should avoid lifting heavy objects and limit any exercise to at least 4 to 6 weeks, again we can offer advice as to what to do and when.
You may find that it takes several months before all swelling, scaring and bruising subsides, and you can see the full benefit of a much more youthful looking breast shape achieved following your crescent breast lift.
