Prior to having cosmetic surgery, it’s important that one researches the procedure they are interested in as well as taking the time to thoughtfully consider the surgery as a whole. For women who consider having a breast lift, many really have done their research and have thought a great deal about it before visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon.

They’ve read content articles on the web and learned about surgery variations in regard to the extent of a lift they very well might need. Inevitably, this leads up to their first consultation.

With that said, there are various reasons why a woman decides to undergo a breast lift. It’s also important to note that there really is not a particular age range for this surgery because it can vary between the ages of thirties to sixties.

However, plastic surgeons will tell their potential patients to have their children first and then their breast lift procedure. It’s not advised to have the surgery if a woman wants to continue building her family.

Once she has had her last child, then that is the optimal time to have the surgery in where redundant skin can be removed and the breasts lifted. Some mothers choose not to have implants, while others may want more projection and volume and request them.

For the most part, however, mothers generally are happy with the lift alone since it does restore a level of volume.

The very next reason a woman may choose this surgery is following significant weight loss.

Weight gain can also occur in the bosom, and after the pounds drop on the scale, volume is lost and sagginess remains. A breast lift can restore this area to a more youthful appearance. The use of implants can also be discussed.

There is also a significant amount of women who have challenges with breast asymmetry in where one breast is larger than the other. For this type of condition, a surgeon will recommend if a lift, breast reduction or breast augmentation is in order. While every patient differs in their needs, sometimes two procedures are recommended such as a breast lift and augmentation to correct the aesthetic issue.

The last reason a woman may consider a breast lift is if she decides to downsize her augmentation. For those who had an augmentation in their earlier years, they may come to the realization that they prefer a smaller implant size which compliments their physique and personal comfort levels.

If a woman changes larger implants for smaller ones, a plastic surgeon will be able to assess whether or not there will be redundant skin following the exchange. If this is the case, then a surgeon will implement a breast lift with the procedure.

A consultation will provide great insight into this procedure regardless of why a woman decides to undergo it. While looking for a surgeon who specializes in this area, do peruse their patient gallery to assess whether or not their skill sets match one’s need for this surgery.
