Breast Lift Questions

Denver and Boulder, Colorado

Do I need a breast lift?

Many women note that pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss and aging may cause their breasts to lose their youthful shape and firmness. The breast lift procedure, or mastopexy, can reshape and lift your breasts, reduce enlarged areolas, and help you feel better about yourself and your body shape. In some cases, the breast lift is performed along with breast augmentation for more volume and fullness.

Am I a candidate for the breast lift procedure?

The best candidates for a breast lift are women:

• Healthy and emotionally stable
• Having realistic expectations about what surgery can accomplish
• Have breasts that are beginning to sag
• Do not have overly large breasts (although a breast lift can be combined with breast reduction)

I'm planning a pregnancy soon. Can I still have a breast lift?

Women planning on having children should consider postponing the breast lift procedure until childbearing has ceased, because pregnancy may stretch your breasts, undoing the beautiful results. The breast lift does not interfere with breastfeeding.

Is a breast lift safe?

When performed by a qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeon like Dr. David Broadway, the breast lift is very safe. Some common risks include complications from anesthesia, bleeding and infection, but these are rare. Always follow Dr. Broadway's advice before and after surgery to avoid any unnecessary risks.

How soon after my breast lift can I resume normal activities?

Typically after your breast lift procedure, you can expect to be up and around in one or two days. It is likely you won't return to work for about a week to ten days and you will be restricted from strenuous activity for as long as four weeks. Dr. Broadway will give you detailed instructions at your Pre Operative appointment. Being compliant with post operative instructions is imperative to having a successful result.

Dr. David Broadway specializes in breast augmentation and has earned the reputation as one of the best plastic surgeons in Colorado. When breast augmentation is combined with a full breast lift the results are nothing short of beautiful, lifted and sexy. If you are considering a breast lift, please contact Dr. David Broadway in the Denver or Boulder area to schedule your consultation.
