Breast Lift in Oklahoma City, OK

A breast lift is a cosmetic procedure that lifts and reshapes the breasts by reducing loose skin and surgically tightening the leftover tissue to create firmer, younger-looking breasts. This body contouring surgery is performed for women who have lost breast shape and volume and who are experiencing breast sagging due to breastfeeding, weight loss, aging, or gravity. Outstanding advancements in mastopexy techniques have made this aesthetic surgery so effective that the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) has shown nearly a 70% increase in demand since 2000. Dr. Kamal Sawan, an Oklahoma City, OK plastic surgeon, performs this procedure at his practice, Sawan Surgical Aesthetics. By utilizing the latest methods and cutting-edge technology, he can decide on the proper technique to help you reach your goals.

You may come into Sawan Surgical Aesthetic expecting to get breast implants; however, after a physical exam, plastic surgeon Dr. Sawan may help you realize that a breast lift is a better option to reach your particular goals based on the level of sagging you have. Breasts and nipples that point down usually need a skin removal and tightening surgery to correct the skin and lift the breasts into a perkier position. If your nipples point downward and your breasts look elongated, a breast lift can improve their appearance. If you are contemplating a breast lift, you should be in good health and at a healthy weight.

Your breast lift surgery can take two hours or more while you are under general anesthesia. The length of your procedure depends on the nature and amount of breast sag. The method used for a breast lift typically falls into two categories based on the type of the incision: the anchor technique (inverted-T) and the straight line vertical incision. After making the incision, Dr. Sawan will trim away any loose, unhealthy skin, as well as unwanted breast tissue and fat. The remaining skin is then tightened and your breasts are brought up and lifted so they appear younger and look healthy. In many cases, the size and shape of the areola are decreased to be symmetric with the new breast. At this point, an implant or a fat transfer can be inserted inside the breast if part of your treatment plan. If breast size becomes a worry down the road, silicone or saline implants can be implemented at a later date.

Recovering from breast lift surgery is more lengthy than recovering from breast augmentation. After the procedure, you will be fitted with a medical compression bra to minimize swelling. A thin tube will be placed near the incision site to help with fluid leakage that commonly occurs following a surgery like this. You can expect your swelling to go away within several days. Dr. Sawan or a member of his team will provide specific instructions on how best to care for yourself during your healing process. Aesthetic results after a breast lift treatment become evident after several months as your newly shaped breasts take their higher position on your chest wall. Your breasts will look and feel natural, and you will feel younger, prettier, and in sync with your frame.
