Breastlift also known as Mastopexy is a surgical procedure that raises and re-contours sagging breasts, or breasts that have lost volume and elasticity after childbearing, through aging or marked weight loss. An uplift and reshaping of the breasts can give you a more youthful looking figure.

The operation involves techniques similar to those used in breast reduction and includes repositioning the nipple and reduction or tightening of the skin of the breasts. Sometimes a breast implant is used along with the reshaping to achieve an increase in size where this is desired.

Your breast lift can be done on an outpatient basis, using either a local or general anesthetic. Most swelling and discoloration will subside after a few weeks. There may be a temporary loss of sensation in the breast skin but this improves with time. The surgeon makes every effort to minimize scarring. The scars often remain more visible for a year following surgery, then fade, and are generally acceptable given the improvement in breast position and shape.

Return to work and light activity is possible in a few days but heavier physical activity and exercise must await the passage of three to four weeks.

Choosing a plastic surgeon in Chicago can be easy if you have the right information. Make sure you know the surgeons background how experienced he is and medical schools he attended, also it is very important to choose a surgeon who is Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery that way you will know you are going to be treated by a well qualified plastic surgeon, you can also visit the doctors website or ask them to show you before and after pictures of their work so you have a better idea what kind of results and feedback they get, some doctors would even set up a free consultation and you might want to take advantage of that, before you go to your first consultation write down all the questions and thoughts you have about the procedure and ask the surgeon, write down every thought about all the doctors you visit so at the end you can make a better and smarter decision.

Making the decision of getting a breast lift is very important but just as important or even more important can be choosing your surgeon, think carefully, take your time, talk to family and friends maybe they have some good advices to give you, this can be a life changing decision.
