Dr. Stark performs a breast lift using three types of incisions. During your consultation, you and he will decide which incision is best based upon your anatomy and cosmetic goals. Because of the manipulation to the breast involved in this type of surgery, incisions are more extensive than those needed in a breast augmentation surgery. As always, Dr. Stark uses meticulous closure techniques as well as strict scar regimen routine post-operatively to help minimize the appearance of scars.
Through these incisions, Dr. Stark is able to improve volume loss and ptosis or sagging. Although Dr. Stark keeps your incisions as small as possible some of his Philadelphia patients are able to return to work in several days, most women take a week off before they resume normal activities. It is important to refrain from any straining to the chest wall for two weeks after the operation but activity level can be increased gradually. After two to four months when swelling has completely subsided, you will be able to fully appreciate the final results of your breast lift procedure.
As always, careful review of your expectations and proper aftercare with Dr. Stark is necessary to ensure your satisfaction with your procedure.
During your consultation with Dr. Stark your goals will be reviewed.
