Are implants always used in breat lifts?

No, not always. When they are necessary, the implants are inserted in the same surgical procedure.

Can I drive after surgery?

You can start driving again the first week after surgery, but you shouldn’t carry any weight until a month afterwards.

When can I resume my normal life?

After mastopexy surgery, total bed rest is recommended for the first two days, and you should refrain from physical activity for the next five or six days.

Will there be visible scars?

This operation will leave a thin scar around the areola and another that goes vertically from the bottom of the areola down to the inframammary fold. Sometimes another scar needs to be made horizontally along the inframammary fold (this is where bra wires rest), forming a scar with an anchor or upside-down T shape.

Over time these scars will take on a color that lets them blend in with the rest of the surrounding skin, and as the scar lines blur they will become even less visible. In the majority of cases, the benefits of the surgey greatly outweigh the presence of these scars.
