breast lift<\/a>. To learn more about the procedure and whether it\u2019s right for you, one of the first steps you should take is to schedule a consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo help you prepare for a breast lift consultation, the team at Graper Harper Cosmetic Surgery share the most important questions you should ask below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
What are your qualifications?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nFirst off, you need to make sure the surgeon is up to the task. A qualified plastic surgeon has been certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and received training specifically in plastic surgery. He or she should also have multiple years of experience performing breast lifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where and how will the procedure be performed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nMost board-certified plastic surgeons have hospital privileges in at least one local hospital. (If your surgeon doesn\u2019t have these privileges, you should ask why.) \nNot all surgeons who have these privileges choose to perform the procedure at a hospital, however. Some surgeons prefer using their office or a surgical center. So you should find out where your specific procedure will take place. \nYou should also ask about each aspect of the procedure, including the use of anesthesia and how any complications will be handled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am I a good candidate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To make sure you\u2019re a good candidate for a breast lift, during your consultation, you should discuss your health and medical history, including the following: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Medical conditions
\u2022 Allergies
\u2022 Current medications, vitamins, or supplements
\u2022 Drug and alcohol use
\u2022 Previous surgeries
\u2022 Any family history of breast cancer
\u2022 Previous mammogram or biopsy results<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s the recovery like and what should I do to prepare?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Breast lift surgery requires a bit of downtime, and you should learn what to expect so you can plan ahead of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are steps you can take to minimize the procedure\u2019s potential risks and complications (for example, quit smoking), and you may want to find a friend or family member to help with your postoperative needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What results can I expect?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nResults vary from person to person and can depend on a variety of factors, such as age and body type. Whether a patient gets pregnant, breastfeeds, or experiences significant weight fluctuations after having the procedure can also impact a patient\u2019s results, specifically their longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are the risks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\nAs with any surgical procedure, a breast lift does involve risks, which may be greater for people with certain health histories. So it\u2019s important to be honest and upfront with your surgeon about anything that may pose a risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
