Dr. Stephens performs breast lift in Baton Rouge with his patients under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Typically, an anchor-shaped incision is made from the location of the new nipple down to the crease beneath the breast — although in some cases, this incision pattern may be modified with fewer scars on the breast.
Excess skin is removed and the areola and nipple are placed higher on the breast for an elevated appearance. A breast lift can also reduce large areolas. While a breast lift can be performed on its own, it is often done in conjunction with breast augmentation to add more volume as well as improved shape.
During your breast lift recovery, it is common for the breasts to be swollen, bruised, and sore for a short while. You may need to wear bandages, gauze, and a surgical bra may to protect the new breast contours and cushion the chest as it heals. You can remove all of this after 48 hours and take a shower.
Dr. Stephens will advise you on how much time you should take off from work in order for your breasts to have adequate healing time. You will need to avoid strenuous activities for at least three weeks. We will provide you with post-surgical instructions to reduce the risk of infection at your incision sites.
