If you notice your breasts losing their firmness, a variety of factors may be causing this, such as aging, pregnancy, weight changes, and genetics. If these changes make you self-conscious, you do not have to live with them.
Our team at Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery could help you find your ideal figure with a breast lift in Washington DC. A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, is a cosmetic breast surgery that involves removing excess skin and tissue to reshape the chest. We take every step necessary to ensure every patient receives comprehensive personalized care.
Our team at Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery works with potential patients in Washington DC to explain the breast lift procedure and determine whether it aligns with their unique needs.
You may be interested in this procedure if you are unsatisfied with the position of your breasts. A breast lift may be beneficial if your breasts have lost volume or shape, they are elongated or uneven, one hangs lower than the other, your nipples and areolae point downward, or your areolae are disproportionate to your breasts. You may be an ideal candidate for a breast lift if you are in good overall health, maintain a consistent weight, and do not smoke.
It may be advisable to delay the procedure if you plan on becoming pregnant, since this may cause your breasts to stretch out again. Additionally, waiting may be beneficial if you plan to breastfeed, as the procedure can hinder your ability to produce sufficient milk.
Breast lift surgery is customized for each of our Washington DC patients. Our team will explain each step of the surgical process and answer any questions you may have. We want you to feel confident about every step of the surgery.
Depending on your needs, incisions will be made around the areolae, downward between the areolae and breast creases, horizontally across the breast creases, or within the breasts to reshape tissue. If you wish to reduce the size of your areolae, stitches may achieve this.
After removing excess skin and tissue, our surgeon will shift your breasts to a higher position and close the incisions.
Most often, the procedure is complete within two to three hours. You are not required to remain overnight at our surgery center.
Some changes in your breasts will be visible immediately, though their shape will continue to change over the next several months. Following a breast lift, you may notice a smaller bra size, even if you have not paired the procedure with a breast reduction. This is because your breasts become firmer and rounder. Scars will soften and thin out within several years, and they are often concealable with bras and bathing suits.
Results from a breast lift will last a long time, but they may not be permanent. Skin naturally becomes less elastic as you age, and some sagging might occur, particularly if your breasts are larger. Our Washington DC team recommends maintaining a consistent weight to support your breast lift results.
