To lift, or not to lift? That is a question many women find themselves considering when they see their chest in the mirror. When it comes to breast lift surgery, Palm Desert‘s Dr. Mo Zakhireh explains that there is no “right” answer to that common query. That said, there are several factors that could make a lift the right choice for you.
First of all, this may seem obvious, but if you are thinking about a breast lift, you should have some sort of issue with your breasts’ loss of position or shape. If you are primarily concerned with volume, start looking your augmentation options, since a lift raises the breasts but does not make them larger. If you are happy with how your breasts look, congratulations! Perhaps you may want to pursue procedures for complementary areas of the body, such as your abdomen and hips, which contribute to your overall proportions.
Second, if you are considering a breast lift, it is important to be sure that you are in good health—both physically and mentally. While general healthiness is a good idea, you should specifically be maintaining a stable weight that is considered appropriate for your height, and you should definitely be avoiding smoking. Nicotine is bad for you, period, but in relation to surgery, it is an especially poor choice. The toxins you inhale restrict blood flow and can contribute to poor surgical outcomes.
Third, you are ready for surgery. Like the first point above, this may seem obvious, but some people are eager to enjoy the results of a surgical procedure, but find that they are not very keen on the surgery itself. If you aren’t sure about where you stand, you can always come in for a personalized consultation and get answers to any questions you may have about Dr. Mo, Cosmetic Surgery Institute, breast lifts, side effects, results, recovery, and more.
