Breast Lift After Weight Loss

Post-Bariatric Breast Lift

If you have lost a lot of weight after bariatric surgery, you may be unhappy with how your breasts look. They may sag or flatten because they are mostly made of fat. Dr. Bivik Shah, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Columbus, Ohio, can help you restore your breast shape and size with breast enhancement surgery12. He has helped many women in Ohio achieve their desired results after weight loss.

Breast enhancement surgery after weight loss is different from regular breast surgery. It requires longer incisions and recovery times to remove the excess skin. Dr. Shah offers both breast lift and breast augmentation options to suit your needs. You can choose to have implants to add volume and cleavage to your breasts, or just have a lift to raise them higher on your chest. Dr. Shah will explain all the options and help you make the best decision for you.

Dr. Shah performs breast enhancement surgery as an outpatient procedure at his own practice or at a nearby hospital. You can usually go home the same day. If you have both a lift and implants, Dr. Shah can do it in one surgery, which reduces the risk of complications and discomfort. He has the experience and skill to give you natural-looking, beautiful breasts that match your new figure.

To lift and enhance your breasts after weight loss, Dr. Shah will make an incision around the areola, down the breast, and along the crease. This will allow him to remove the extra skin and raise your breasts. You will wear a compression garment for six weeks after the surgery. You can go back to work in two weeks, unless your job involves lifting or bending. It may take six weeks for you to feel fully recovered.

Breast lift and augmentation have some risks, such as infection, bleeding, blood clots, fluid collection, and suture failure. These are rare and not serious. Dr. Shah will check your healing regularly and explain the risks to you before the surgery.

Post weight loss surgery can boost your confidence and health by removing the excess skin. If you want to improve your breasts after bariatric surgery, call Dr. Shah’s office in Columbus, Ohio today. He can help you achieve your dream of having a beautiful body.
