Breast lift procedures are becoming common practice for both genders. During this cosmetic procedure, the plastic surgeon manipulates the breast tissue by removing the skin and some breast tissue. The standard procedures done concurrently with a breast lift are breast reduction or breast augmentation.

Ideal candidates for breast lifts are those whose nipples fall lower than the breast crease. Some of the concerns that breast lift in Naperville candidates may be worried about include the following:

Scarring

Breast lifts are invasive surgical procedures that are bound to cause scarring. These scars are permanent. However, the scar tissue can be minimized depending on the surgical technique and the plastic surgeon operating.

Uneven Breast Shape

Breast lift procedures do not change the size of the breasts; however, they can correct the breast shape if it is coupled with a breast reduction procedure. It is crucial to note that apparent changes may not be seen during the first few weeks after the breast lift procedure, but with proper aftercare and healing, uneven breast shape should not be of concern.

Changes in Nipple Sensation

The first initial weeks are marked with either a lack of or reduced sensation in the nipples. This is attributed to the inflammation that accompanies breast lifts. However, after a few weeks, nipple sensations, particularly erotic sensations, will be restored.

Areolae Size

The areola is the dark skin that surrounds the nipple. During a breast lift procedure, the patient may be concerned that the ratio of the areolae to the breast may look abnormal or the breast may darken further due to reduced blood supply. An experienced plastic surgeon can advise you on the same.
