Are Boob Lifts The Right Choice For You?

The reasons you would consider boob lifts might be sagging breasts or misshapen breasts caused by gravity, aging, pregnancy or weight loss.  Some people consider boob lifts when one breast hangs lower than the other one, or they are flattened and elongated without a bra to support them.  Whatever the reason for choosing boob lifts, the Breast Implant Center of Hawaii has several options to give your breasts a more youthful and voluptuous appearance.

Some of the general procedures for boob lifts or mastopexies, involve reshaping the internal support system of ligaments and removing stretched out and excess skin to lift the nipple, when ones breast experience the sagging condition called ptosis.  A second procedure would be breast lifts that might involve adding fullness to the upper region of the breast area by using implants. 

Whether or not boob lifts are the right choice for you depends on whether you are medically able to go through the boob lifts procedure.  Smokers and those with life threatening or impaired healing conditions are not able to go through the boob lifts procedure because of blood supply and healing risks.  This definitely includes smokers.

If you are getting ready to go on a weight loss diet, you don’t have to get to any ideal weight before the procedure since liposuction will remove breast fat and gland cells faster and more efficiently than any diet.

Another factor that the surgeon will consider is the position of the nipple areola complex in relation to the inframammary area (where the breast hits the chest wall). Your surgeon will have many choices, standard mastopexy, benelli mastopexy, suction breast reduction and all of the above with or without implants.

Individual consultations regarding boob lifts will be done at the Breast Implant Center of Hawaii prior to the procedure. Since each boob lifts case is unique, we can determine the type of surgery necessary, and whether the desired results will be achievable with or without an implant. 

In some patients where the mastopexy alone will not give the desired result, breast enlargement or breast reduction surgeries alone may be a better option than boob lifts.  Since it involves re-sculpturing the shape of the breast, you need to be sure that you see a board certified plastic surgeon for this procedure, to decrease ones chances of deformity.
