Breast Lift In Houston

No. The procedure is performed under anesthesia so you will not have any issues with pain or discomfort. As you heal, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild pain that should dissipate over the next week or so, but Dr. Ahmadi will temporarily prescribe you some pain medication to make your recovery more comfortable. We will also provide you with instructions to follow to achieve the best results.

Dr. Ahmadi will have you return about a week following your surgery so he can monitor your recovery and remove any sutures or bandages. After this initial check-up, you can expect to return a few more times over the year, usually around three months and six months, for Dr. Ahmadi to ensure you are healing happily and healthily.

You may be able to see results almost immediately, depending on the degree of change, but you will still be swollen and bruised. On average, patients can expect to see their final results within 6 to 12 weeks as their breasts achieve their final shape and resting place.

When combined with a lift, implants can increase your breast size, especially for patients with smaller breasts. If you are looking to fix mild sagging, asymmetrical breasts, or would just like to improve the size of your breasts, a lift with implants could help you achieve those aesthetic goals.

Typically, most breast lifts require the removal of excess skin and breast tissue. Dr. Ahmadi will also use several different incision patterns to reposition the areola and nipple, as well as excess breast skin.

It is also very important to avoid any activity that causes sweating, which increases your risk of infection. You should wait at least 4 to 6 weeks after a breast lift before engaging in any exercise or activity that raises your heart rate. Even after the first six weeks, you should still take it slow. You should start the activity gradually and follow all of Dr. Ahmadi’s postoperative instructions carefully to avoid any complications.

Yes! Breast lifts are commonly paired with other breast-based procedures. Many patients get stunning results after combining breast lift and implants simultaneously to save time and money.

Getting a combination procedure will cut down on healing time in the long run– while you may need to have reduced activity for a longer initial period, many people find this easier than getting one procedure, healing, and then getting another and healing again. Patients often pair their breast lift with other body contouring procedures such as a tummy tuck, LipoTuck™, or liposuction. This will involve pulling the breasts to a youthful position (improving saggy breasts) and removing fat from another area of the body.

Dr. Ahmadi is a Houston TX breast lift surgery expert and has performed hundreds of successful breast lift surgeries because he puts your health and safety as his top priority. We believe that communication and understanding help produce the best results possible, which is why we share all the pros and cons of a particular surgery. Breast lift surgery is a safe procedure for many women, but does have its own possible complications, including:

• Anesthesia risks
• Bleeding or hematoma formation
• Breast asymmetry
• Breast contour and shape irregularities
• Changes in nipple or breast sensation, which may be temporary or permanent
• Deep vein thrombosis, cardiac and pulmonary complications
• Fatty tissue found deep in the skin might die (fat necrosis)
• Fluid accumulation
• Infection
• Poor healing of incisions
• Possibility of revisional surgery
• Potential partial or total loss of nipple and areola

While these risks are rare, if you do experience any long-lasting or concerning reactions, such as chest pain, please contact our clinic immediately.

While a breast lift mastopexy procedure can potentially remove the section of the breast that contains the cancer, followed by performing the standard breast lift by itself, it’s not a guarantee to cure your condition. If this is something you would like Dr. Ahmadi to attempt to treat, please let him know so that the two of you can make the best surgical choices for you.

Dr. Ahmadi typically uses general anesthesia for his mastopexy patients.

Most patients are interested to know if their areola will change as a result of the procedure. You should address this with your surgeon, as they can change the size of the areola during the operation.
