Stay active, eat well, and live for longer, right?
It is not always that simple…
Choosing to change your lifestyle to get fit, healthy and refine your body shape is inspiring…
but what if you reach your goal weight and you are still not happy with the result?
We see many patients who struggle with low self-esteem and confidence, even after they have lost weight, or joined the gym, mainly due to solving one problem and another occurring. Weight loss can change the size and shape of your breasts, and may result in a huge reduction in size or not much breast left at all. Skin that has been stretched can appear saggy and deflated and nipples can point downwards, rather than towards the front area of the chest wall.
Breast implants can sometimes fill the space where skin has stretched and give you back some size, shape and structure (and cleavage). On some occasions, breast implants, along with a breast uplift is required, to elevate the nipple location and lift the whole breast upwards.
For large, broad-based, and severely sagging breasts, both a breast reduction and breast uplift is advised. This allows excess skin and folds to be removed, before lifting and shaping.
Downtime and Recovery
Downtime is usually about 2 weeks, and any bending or heavy lifting should be avoided for at least a month. Swelling should subside in about six or seven weeks, and the breasts will settle into their final shape in a few months.
