One must know that a breast lift is different from a breast augmentation surgery, and the differences lie in the results received by both procedures separately. However, a breast lift can be accompanied by a breast implant/augmentation to achieve the best aesthetic results. The motto for performing a breast lift surgery is about enhancing the overall appearance and rejuvenation of the breasts by correcting the nipple position and raising it to an aesthetic height. A breast lift surgery in Bangalore is often sought-after in conjugation with breast augmentation by the celebs’ clients resulting in an increased demand for the procedure for the last few years.

Dr. Karishma Kagodu, MS, M CH., a board-certified plastic surgeon and head of Kaesthetics, Bangalore, has noted that breast lift surgery is performed to change the shape of the breasts and to give them an aesthetic appearance. Excess skin is removed during the procedure, and breast tissue is reshaped to raise the breasts. It is also called mastopexy, an essential part of mommy makeover surgery, especially in conjugation with breast implants according to the patient’s customized demand and realistic expectations.

Dr. Karishma Kagodu wants to set the record straight on breast lift surgery so you have enough information to make the right decision.

Here are the top 5 important facts about breast lift surgery to enhance your knowledge before having the procedure are as follows:

1.    A breast lift is different than a breast augmentation.

Though both procedures are designed to improve the aesthetic appearance of the breasts, they are sought-after for breast contouring concerns. One way the breast lift improves the appearance is by correcting the nipple position and addressing sagging breasts, and elevating the entire breast so that it can be in a more youthful position. And, on the other hand, breast augmentation incorporates implants to add breast volume. One must note that a breast lift won’t change the size of your breasts but will improve the overall aesthetic appearance by correcting the nipple and areola position and addressing the breast asymmetry concern.

2.    A breast lift can also accompany a breast implant/ augmentation surgery.

A breast lift and augmentation can be performed together to meet the ultimate goal. However, most women opt for the combination of breast lift and augmentation, often as a part of a mommy makeover, to improve their breast shape and to regain fullness in the upper part of the breasts. One way breast lift improves the nipple and areola position, those points downward, and asymmetric breasts mean one of your breasts falls lower than the other, or one breast has a different size, volume, position, or form. On the other hand, breast augmentation improves fullness and size and solves the problem of the gapping that occurs between your breast.

3.    You might have drains.

It may be the case, but most expert plastic surgeons do not use drains. Dr. Karishma Kagodu at Kaesthetics clinic, Bangalore, rarely uses drains for breast lifts and breast lifts with augmentations. So, one should not worry about post-op drainage concerns.

4.    You will maintain the ability to breastfeed.

A breast lift surgery removes excess skin and saggy tissue and may also affect actual gland tissue. Therefore, it is recommended to consider breast lift surgery once you are done having children, as the procedure might affect the milk ducts. Although the good part is that breastfeeding is usually possible after a breast lift, some might have trouble producing enough milk. So, it would help if you discussed your concern and option with your plastic surgeon before the procedure.

5.    You will return home the same day.

A breast lift surgery is an outpatient procedure meaning you do not need to stay overnight in the hospital. However, one can go home the same day after the surgery once your plastic surgeon gives you the all-clear to discharge. A breast lift is usually performed with sedation or local anesthesia. In some cases, general anesthesia can be used depending on your problem status. The procedure typically lasts one to three hours, and the patient is discharged home.
