Breast Lift in Houston

Age brings wisdom and experience, but it also brings on the effects of gravity which can cause once firm and pert breasts to droop and lose volume, an issue that Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Paul Gill can correct with a breast lift in Houston.

In Houston, a breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, is the only way to significantly lift sagging breasts, as nearly 90,000 American women who underwent the procedure in 2010 know. It can be performed to correct varying degrees of breast droop, from mild to severe droop, in which the nipple is actually pointing downward.

In addition to correcting breast sag, the breast lift procedure works to restore breast firmness and may be combined with a breast augmentation procedure to increase the size and projection of your breasts.

In order to achieve the desired result, Dr. Gill will perform one of three incisions designed to provide you with the ideal aesthetic result. The surgical incisions may be made in the:

• Breast crease
• From the nipple down to the breast crease
• Around the nipple areola

The incisions will vary depending on the severity of your breast droop. If you're considering a breast lift in Houston, you should be a healthy non-smoker and realistic expectations about plastic surgery.

The Surgery: Procedures for a Breast Lift in Houston

When you are ready to begin your one to three hour outpatient breast lift procedure, you will be placed under a general anesthetic in most cases. Dr. Gill will perform the incisions are remove loose skin and possibly glandular tissue, effectively tightening and elevating the breasts. Your breast will be reshaped in a more youthful appearance and the nipple may be repositioned as well. To finish the surgery, Dr. Gill will close the incisions and cover them with a dressing.

Recovering from a Breast Lift in Houston

Your recovery time when you return home after your breast lift in Houston will last up to two weeks during which time you will wear a surgical bra that provides necessary support during healing. Discomfort you may experience during healing will be managed with medication and any bruising or swelling will be temporary. Over the year following your breast lift, the visible scarring will fade and flatten out. Moving forward you should recognize that the results of your surgery are not permanent as they do not prevent further droop caused by aging and gravity.
