Understanding Breast Lift Surgery in Birmingham

Breast lift surgery offers an effective solution for patients experiencing breast sagging due to age, genetics, childbearing, or weight loss. Dr. Eich provides comprehensive breast lift procedures tailored to individual patient needs in the Birmingham metropolitan area.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift Surgery

An ideal breast lift candidate is a healthy adult woman with realistic aesthetic goals. Potential patients may experience:

• Breast ptosis (sagging) affecting body contour
• Desire to improve breast shape and position
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Breast Lift Procedure Details

The breast lift procedure typically takes approximately 2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia in Dr. Eich's accredited surgical suite. The surgical approach involves:

• Circular incision around the areola
• Potential vertical incisions as needed
• Repositioning of breast tissue
• Removal of excess skin
• Minimizing scarring through careful closure

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from breast lift surgery involves specific post-operative care guidelines. Patients can expect:

• Wearing a supportive bra for approximately six weeks
• Most discomfort resolving within three days
• Significant improvement in comfort by two weeks
• Complete swelling resolution within six months

Combining Procedures

Dr. Eich may recommend combining breast lift with augmentation depending on individual patient goals and breast characteristics. The approach is personalized to achieve optimal aesthetic results.

Important Considerations

Patients are advised to delay breast lift surgery if actively trying to become pregnant, as pregnancy and breastfeeding can potentially impact surgical results.
