Breast Cosmetic Surgery
Women can often become focused on their outward appearance and desire improvements to their bodies that can only be achieved through plastic surgery procedures. One of the most highly desired areas of correction are the breasts, and breast augmentation, breast lift, and breast reduction procedures can all be completed to enhance, reduce, and perfect the look of the breasts.
Breast augmentation aims to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breasts for those who feel their breasts are too small, balance a dissimilarity in breast size, or to be used as a reconstructive procedure after breast surgery. Incisions are made in the area under the breast, where it meets the chest, in the areola, (the region surround the nipple), or even in the armpit to reduce the appearance of any scarring. Breast tissue and skin is lifted to create a pocket for the implant to be inserted. Silicone or saline implants are placed behind the breast or under the chest wall muscle to increase size. Recovery time after this approximate two-hour surgery is typically just a few days to one week, while some swelling may linger for about 3-5 weeks after surgery. A Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon can provide you with great results.
Breast lift procedures are generally intended for women who are experiencing sagging breasts as a result of the aging process and women who have been pregnant or nursing whose skin has lost elasticity. The process itself takes about one-and-a-half to three hours. An anchor-shaped incision is made to outline the area in which breast skin will be removed. After the skin has been removed, the areola and nipple are re-positioned to a higher area on the breast, and the skin is reshaped. Recovery time is only expected to last a few days, with the potential to return to work and normal activities after a week. A surgical bra must be constantly worn for 3-4 weeks. Swelling should settle after six weeks.
For women who are self-conscious about their small breasts, have nipples that point downward, have one breast that is larger than the other, or women who experience back pains and discomfort due to the breast size, a breast reduction procedure can also be performed to lessen the size of the breasts. Again with this process, three incisions are made to form the shape of an anchor. Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin is then removed. Typically, the areola must be re-sized and made smaller before the procedure is completed. The recovery process is nearly identical to that of someone who has had a breast lift procedure completed.
