In order to understand breast lift or mastopexy surgery, it is first important to understand why some patients decide to have it done.  Tissues may sag due to a variety of reasons.  Amongst them are the normal ageing process and hormonal changes. Dr Nara will discuss this in further detail during your comprehensive consultation.

Surgery may not be suited for everyone so it is important for you to ask questions, be comfortable with your surgeon and understand the implications for each respective treatment option tailored for you.   Surgery involves various different styles of the scar depending on each respective condition and case.  Dr. Nara uses either a scar around the areolar, keyhole vertical, or anchor style scar.  It is imperative for patients to understand the implications and risks of surgery thoroughly beforehand.  There is always time to decide and make an informed decision whether you are having surgery or not.

Age is not a major factor when considering breast lift surgery. 

Breast lift surgery is complex and there are various different designs involved.   It involves a detailed assessment as well as the experience to understand your goals.    Dr. Nara will explain to you how the operation is done, the risks involved and expected recovery.  Whilst it is exciting to gain a sense of confidence after surgery, it is first important to ask as many questions as possible and bridge your understanding of this prior to any undertaking of breast lift surgery.  

Breast reduction surgery almost always involves breast lift surgery.  Therefore, breast lift surgery may also imply breast reduction surgery depending on what the goals and expectations of the patient.  Breast reduction surgery usually implies reducing the weight or size of the deeper internal structures of the breasts which needs to be completed with meticulous breast lift surgery.  So, you can have breast lift surgery without necessarily having breast reduction surgery as breast reduction surgery would involve removing more tissues of the breasts and not just lifting the breasts surgically.

Improving the weight and size of the breasts.  Apart from this, since there are improvement of weight and size of the breasts, patients do tend to feel a bit lighter, better and some even less conscious of how they look.

There are risks with any treatment whether surgical or non-surgical.  Breast reduction surgery ( meaning breast lift surgery will also be done) does involve more risks then just breast lift surgery since more deeper structures or glandular or fat tissues of the breasts are removed.  More scarring is likely as well as reduction in sensation.  One of the significant risks to any breast lift with or without breast reduction surgery is compromise of blood supply to the nipple leading to nipple-areolar complex loss.  This risk is reduced through careful planning as well as realistic expectations.  Dr Nara will guide you through the consult to help you understand this better prior to any surgery.
