Breast Lift – Preoperative Considerations
When you're considering a breast lift in Sacramento, there are several things to do. You'll need to learn about the procedure and be ready to talk through all the details and make some important choices. You'll want to know how to get ready for surgery and what to expect from recovery.
When preparing to visit your Sacramento plastic surgeon, consider these questions:
- What do you want from surgery?
Most women want perkier, shapely breasts that look more youthful. Browse our photo gallery and look at other sites on the Internet to see what type of look you'd like to have. We encourage you to bring photos to your consultation. - Are you interested in implants for extra fullness at the top of your breasts?
Learn about types of implants available and think long term. While many women who need lifts are accustomed to having large breasts, remember the skin's elasticity has already been challenged and exhausted - hence the droop. Implants cannot combat gravity, and very large implants will not give your breasts the ability to withstand time.
When getting ready for the actual breast lift, Sacramento women should take the following steps:
- Find some spare time. This is actually one of the biggest challenges of elective surgery. You need to have a few days free of other commitments when you can focus on yourself and heal - rather than working or cleaning the garage.
- Get some help for a day or two. Certainly you will need a friend or loved one to pick you up after surgery and stay with you for the first night. If you have pets or small children, you may want some additional help for a day or two.
- Prepare your home to welcome you after surgery. For most women, this means having the house neat and clean, and soft bedding ready. You should also have food on hand that's gentle on the stomach and easy to make.
