Breast Lift Surgery

With Dr. Mark Kohout

WHY YOU MAY CONSIDER BREAST LIFT

SURGERY

Unfortunately, breasts droop with age. This can be caused by gravity or weight loss, leaving breasts sagging and shapeless. Some breast problems may be inherited, and each breast may develop differently, with only one being firm and well-positioned. Breasts can also slump after pregnancy, losing volume so they look flat or wobbly.


Surgery can make breasts feel firmer and perkier. Occasionally, breast lift surgery is enough to restore a youthful look, but if the volume has been lost or the nipple points below the crease, breast augmentation may be performed at the same time.

What is a Breast Lift?

As you get older, your breasts loose firmness and elasticity. A breast lift is a surgical procedure called a mastopexy, which entails removing excess skin and reshaping tissue to tighten and lift the breast to combat sagging.


A breast lift can reduce drooping and enhance the position of the nipples and the areolas – the darker areas around the nipples. The areolas can also be made smaller during the procedure to keep them in proportion with the newly shaped breasts.


On its own, a breast lift won’t dramatically change the size of your breasts. However, it can be done in combination with breast enlargement or breast reduction.

Recovery Process

Breast lift surgery patients can generally go home the same day with their breasts covered with a dressing and a surgical support bra.


Your breasts will look different straight away, although will continue to change in shape as they settle over a few months. They will be bruised and swollen for a couple of weeks, and the area around the incisions will probably feel sore.

Results of breast reduction surgery are typically long-lasting, and patient satisfaction levels are high. Many women who have the procedure later in life say their only regret is that they didn’t do it sooner.


Although you’ll see results immediately after breast reduction, bear in mind it can take months for swelling to subside completely and for the surgical scars to diminish. The final result is usually permanent, but the shape and size of the breasts may change through factors such as weight gain or loss and aging.

Are There Any Risks with Breast Lift Surgery?

As with all surgical procedures, a breast lift poses potential risks such as bleeding, infection, scarring, or an adverse reaction to anesthesia. However, issues like these are rare with a breast lift.


BleedingHeavy bleeding after a breast lift is unusual. Any bleeding will usually occur soon after surgery.

Infection - If symptoms of infection appear after
breast lift surgery, the problem can typically be treated with antibiotics.

Scarring - Breast lift scars will be apparent for a few months after surgery but most will then begin to fade.

Reaction to anesthesia - A bad reaction to general anesthesia after a breast lift is uncommon if you’re healthy.

Dr Kohout, one of the best breast lift surgeons in Sydney, will make sure you understand the possible complications of a breast lift and address any particular concerns you may have.

Breast Lift Surgery Recovery

Breast lift surgery patients can generally go home the same day with their breasts covered with a dressing and a surgical support bra. Your breasts will look different straight away, although will continue to change in shape as they settle over a few months. They will be bruised and swollen for a couple of weeks, and the area around the incisions will probably feel sore.


For the first few days, take pain relief as recommended by the doctor, and avoid physical exertion. Sleep on your side or back to keep pressure off your breasts. Avoid sex for a couple of weeks.


If you haven’t had dissolvable stitches, the sutures are usually removed one to two weeks after the procedure.
