Ideal Breast Lift Candidate
An ideal breast lift candidate may be described as a woman who has sagging breasts that she is unhappy with. There are a variety of reasons why women experience drooping breasts, including:
- Pregnancy/breastfeeding
- Weight loss
- Aging
Decreased breast volume, and sagging breasts, can be caused by many factors such as stretched skin and a loss of skin elasticity. Breast lift surgery can improve these conditions.
In addition to the appearance of your breasts, a plastic surgeon will require that a breast lift patients be physically and emotionally healthy, aware of the risks and complications associated with surgery, in possession of realistic expectations, undergoing this procedure for themselves and nobody else, at least 18 years of age, at their ideal body weight, not currently pregnant or breastfeeding, and not intending to get pregnant.
An examination performed by a knowledgeable plastic surgeon will determine if the drooping of your breasts is substantial enough to warrant breast lift surgery. He/she will also evaluate your reasons for wanting this plastic surgery procedure and decide if it will be beneficial to you.
