Many women who have experienced pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss also experience loss of breast volume. This can lead to breast ptosis, or drooping. A breast lift is a great solution to correct drooping breasts by volumetrically reshaping the breasts. Read on to learn more about the breast lift procedure in Brandon.
How to Tell if You Are a Candidate
A simple test to determine if a woman is a candidate for a breast lift is the pencil test. Simply place a pencil horizontally as high as you can underneath your breast fold. If the pencil stays in place, then you have signs of breast drooping. Also, if your nipple falls below the pencil, then you have drooping, and are more likely a candidate for a breast lift. However, a consultation with Dr. Shienbaum can help to best determine candidacy.
There are a number of incision patterns that can be used during a breast lift procedure, and the one that is right for you depends on your individual anatomy and desired outcomes. These incisions include the periareolar, vertical, and T-shaped incisions. Through the appropriate incision, Dr. Shienbaum will lift and reshape the breast tissue to improve breast contour and firmness. The nipple and areola are also repositioned to a more youthful height, and excess skin is removed.
