For women who are worried about the appearance of their upper body, cosmetic surgery is often the best choice. For those with sagging breasts, a breast lift is often recommended. However, sometimes, a surgeon will suggest armpit liposuction at the same time. Could this be the right choice for you? Let’s find out more.
How Can Lipo Carried Out with A Breast Lift Help?
When a surgeon carries out lipo and a breast lift together, the procedures will debulk the side of the breasts. They will reduce the fat in this area, which, in turn, will create an attractive side boundary. The procedures will also remove fat in the upper back area. This ensures a very complete and appealing result.
Does It Make the Procedure More Dangerous?
You can rest assured that if you opt to have both procedures together, you won’t be in any more danger. The procedure is no more complex or risky. On the other hand, however, you’ll experience more swelling and bruising. This will be localized to the upper arm and side of the breast area. However, since the results are greatly improved, the temporary effects are worth it.
Having multiple procedures at the same time is considered to be reasonable and safe. The Mommy Makeover is a perfect example of several procedures being carried out together. Surgeons perform this popular procedure on women who have finished childbearing and want to regain their prepregnancy physique. Breast lifts usually form part of this surgery. It will also include other procedures, such as a tummy tuck, thigh lift, and liposuction.
In fact, it’s generally considered that having several procedures at once is preferable. This means the patient only requires one surgery, one anesthetic, and one recovery time. Even better, the patient can see improvement across several areas at once.
How Do I Know Which Procedure Is Best for Me?
At the end of the day, your cosmetic surgeon will determine which procedure is right for you. When you have your consultation, your surgeon will be able to examine you thoroughly. He or she will, then, determine the procedures that are best suited for your individual needs. Every patient has her own unique goals and requirements. A skilled cosmetic surgeon will take these into account. He or she will also weigh a host of other factors to assess whether you need a breast lift or liposuction. In some cases, you may only require liposuction to achieve the desired look. In others, a breast lift on its own would be the best course of treatment. For other women, surgeons have deemed that having both procedures carried out simultaneously will produce the best results.
