BREAST LIFT CREVE COEUR, MO | FRANCEL THOMAS J MD

UNDERSTANDING BREAST LIFT SURGERY

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a transformative
surgical procedure designed to re-contour loose, sagging breasts.
Patients typically seek this procedure after significant weight loss
or changes in breast volume following childbirth. The primary goal is
to create firmer, higher, and more youthful-looking breasts.

DETAILED PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

During a breast lift, Dr. Francel performs a comprehensive breast
reshaping process that includes:

 	* Relocating the nipple and areola to a higher, more aesthetically
pleasing position
	* Repositioning breast tissue to a more elevated level
	* Removing excess skin from the lower breast area
	* Reshaping the remaining breast skin for improved contour

SURGICAL APPROACH AND SCARRING

The procedure involves strategic incisions that will result in
permanent scars, typically appearing:

 	* Around the areola
	* Vertically down the breast
	* Horizontally along the breast crease

While scars are inevitable, they tend to fade and soften over time.
For patients desiring breast enlargement, an implant can be placed
behind the chest muscle during the same procedure.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

The breast lift surgery typically takes approximately 2 hours and is
performed as an outpatient procedure. Patients can expect a carefully
planned approach to breast rejuvenation.

RECOVERY AND HEALING TIMELINE

Post-operative recovery follows a structured progression:

 	* Day 1: Surgery completed
	* Day 2: Dressings may be removed, showering permitted
	* Day 7: First follow-up office visit
	* Week 3: Bruising and swelling begin resolving, exercise can resume
	* 6 months: Final aesthetic results achieved

Patients should anticipate temporary side effects, including potential
swelling, discoloration, and potentially decreased nipple or breast
skin sensation.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

A supportive surgical bra will be used immediately after the
procedure, with continued bra support recommended for several weeks
during the healing process.
