Types of Breast Lifts

Types of Breast Lifts

Over time with aging, women’s breasts change and lose their contour and shape. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure performed by a plastic surgeon to raise sagging breasts. A surgeon can change the size and contour of the breasts, decrease areola size, types of breast lift, and elevate breast mounds to give a more youthful appearance.

A breast lift is performed by removing excess skin, bringing the breast tissue up onto the chest wall and tightening the skin around the breast tissue. Breast lifts themselves do not change the size of the breasts, but can be performed with an implant augmentation or breast reduction.

Post Bariatric Surgery Recovery

SurgiSculpt, founder of SurgiSculpt and body contouring expert, has a very strict post-bariatric surgery recovery protocol. Post-bariatric surgery is one of the largest cosmetic surgery procedures and there are numerous factors that play a role in the recovery process. 

First, patients most often have excess skin circumferentially and thus the recovery time is hindered by the sheer volume of skin that is removed.

Post Bariatric Surgery Diet

Post Bariatric Surgery Diet

Prior to surgery, patients are asked to have a diet that focuses on high protein foods such as red meat, chicken breasts, and eggs. A preoperative post-bariatric surgery diet should also be without fish as they are rich in fatty acids and may thin the blood prior to surgery.

SurgiSculpt asks his patients to have protein shakes between meals and to shoot for a daily goal of 150g of protein supplement per day.

Breast Lift Procedure

This is a 36-year-old female patient 3 months after her breast lift procedure. She also had a tummy tuck to further transform her body and look her best!

Breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure to improve the appearance and aesthetics of the breasts. This procedure can address the drooping of a patient’s breasts. Breasts may drop for several reasons including age, gravity, pregnancy, and genetics, which causes the breast mounds to drop and look “saggy”.

What is The Difference Between Lipedema and Lymphedema?

Unlike lymphedema, women suffer from the painful condition of lipedema mainly in their legs. One of the most notable differences is that feet are generally not involved in lipedema.

Lipedema tissue usually stops at the feet and causes the size of the trunk and the size of the legs to become disproportionate. The feet are usually normal in size when initially affected, but then swelling begins to develop from the level of the ankles.

Best Tummy Tuck

Best Tummy Tuck

Five factors are critical to achieving the best tummy tuck results and they include:

  1. A narrowed waistline
  2. A low incision line
  3. An innie belly button
  4. Avoidance of dog ears
  5. Appropriate “~” tilde curve proportions

Narrowed waistline

Although this may not be intuitive, when you pull the abdominal skin down to re-drape it prior to trimming it you can actually lose some of your waistlines.

Tummy Tuck Definition

Tummy tuck definition is an abdominal surgery that is intended to remove lower abdominal skin maximally and to tighten the abdominal muscles in an attempt to eliminate abdominal skin redundancy and narrow the waistline. The tummy tuck definition has most recently been modified with prefixes “full” and “mini”.

The full tummy tuck definition continues to specify the original definition where maximal skin removal and muscle tightening is accomplished by undermining the entire abdominal skin following an incision in the lower abdominal pubic region. When undermining the abdominal skin up to the ribs, the umbilical stalk is released.

Tummy Tuck Alternative

Tummy tuck alternatives include either a less invasive mini tummy tuck or minimally invasive Renuvion skin tightening. A full tummy tuck provides the advantage of not only maximally removing the skin from your belly (typically will be able to remove the skin from your pubic region to above your belly button) but also tightening your abdominal muscles (so you don’t look bloated). Two tummy tuck alternatives exist and these include:

A mini tummy tuck option removes a wedge excision from the pubic and lower abdominal region (well below the belly button). The indications for a mini tuck include:

Tummy Tuck Recovery

Tummy tuck recovery can be variable based on the degree of muscle tightening, the degree of skin tightening, and the patient’s pain threshold. In general, patients will have to move around half flexed for the first week making it difficult to get out of the house.

In the second week, you will be able to stand up straight and take a shower after your drains are removed. By the third week, you should expect to get off of your pain pills be able to drive and take care of all of your chores. You will also be allowed to return to light physical activity such as walking around the neighborhood.
