Am I a suitable candidate for Breast Uplift Surgery?
Breast uplift surgery is for women who wish to uplift and reshape their breasts for the following reasons:
- They suffer from uneven (asymmetrical) breasts.
- Their breasts are affected by the adverse effects of age and gravity following pregnancy, breast feeding or weight increase or loss.
In general, the best candidates for breast uplift surgery are women who are:
- 18 years of age or older.
- Not currently pregnant or nursing.
- In good physical health.
- Psychologically stable.
- Wanting to improve their appearance.
- Realistic in their expectations.
Who may not be a suitable candidate for breast uplift surgery?
Breast uplift surgery is not recommended for women with:
- Breast cancer.
- Uncontrolled diabetes.
- Cellulitis (infection of the soft tissue of the breast).
- Hardened breast skin.
- Dry or broken breast skin.
Also, a woman who intends to breastfeed probably should not have the procedure. It's preferable to delay the procedure until she has had all her children.
What can I do to help achieve the best results?
Before choosing to have breast uplift surgery, make sure that you obtain as much information as is necessary to enable you to make a fully informed choice.
Your surgeon will give you specific instructions regarding preparing for surgery, including guidelines for
- Eating and drinking.
- Smoking.
- Taking or avoiding vitamins, iron tablets and certain medications.
How else can I prepare for this procedure?
Before your surgery, take the opportunity to ask all the questions you have about the procedure.
Also:
- Tell your surgeon about any allergies you have (to foods, drugs, environmental elements).
- Try to schedule surgery at a time other than your menstrual period.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery.
