On The Day Of Your Breast Lift, Make Sure Someone Accompanies You To And From The Facility

By:




On your surgery day, you should allow approximately five to six hours for pre-operative surgical admission, surgical time and post-surgical recovery. During your surgery and recovery, you will be in the hands of an experienced surgical team, which includes your plastic surgeon, a nurse anesthetist, a registered nurse and surgical technician. Most surgery centers ask that you have a responsible adult accompany you to and from the surgery center. This individual should be accessible by phone during your surgery and should be at our facility when you are ready for discharge. After your surgery, you will need to have someone care for you for the first 24 hours.

You will have an office visit the day following your surgery, as well as several post-operative visits within the first week. These appointments are extremely important and you are encouraged to go to the office daily for the first week or so, for additional help with your post-operative regime. Upon returning the day after surgery, your plastic surgeon will remove your surgical dressing. You will be advised to wear a sports bra for three months to support the breasts, which is very important, as your breasts will need extra support as they heal. After this initial visit, you will be able to shower. Additionally, your plastic surgeon will suggest that you use oxygen to breathe post-op (6 hrs/day for the first 2 weeks) because they have noted better scars and healing with those patients who have used oxygen.

You will return to the office at one week, two weeks and one month to remove sutures and to change surgical tape. In the first couple of weeks, your plastic surgeon will continue to monitor your progress and advise you in your post-operative regime and instructions. It is exceptionally important that you come to all recommended post-operative visits in order to minimize post-operative complications and achieve optimal results .

The most common complications associated with a mastopexy are bleeding, scarring, infection, asymmetries, changes in nipple or breast sensation (both temporary and permanent), and adverse reactions to anesthesia.

Plastic surgeons always look forward to meeting with you in consultation to put together a custom surgical plan that best meets your needs. Should you have any questions in the meantime, your surgeon probably has a contact page on his or her website. Surgeons want to make sure that you are well informed about this and any other procedure. They also want this to be a great experience for you and they will do everything they can to serve your needs.
