Understanding Breast Lift Surgery in Birmingham

Breast lift surgery addresses sagging breasts caused by age, genetics, childbearing, or significant weight loss. This procedure helps restore breast shape and positioning, offering patients a renewed sense of confidence and body contour.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

• Healthy adult women of any age with realistic aesthetic goals
• Patients experiencing breast sagging or drooping
• Women seeking improved breast positioning
• Individuals with stable body weight

Surgical 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 includes strategic incisions designed to minimize scarring while lifting and reshaping breast tissue.

Surgical Technique

• Circular incision around the areola
• Potential vertical incision between areola and breast fold
• Repositioning of areola at a higher position
• Removal of excess skin
• Strategic incision closure to minimize scarring

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing a supportive bra 24 hours daily for approximately six weeks. Patients can expect initial discomfort for the first three days, with significant improvement by two weeks. Complete healing and final results may take up to six months.

Recovery Guidelines

• Wear specialized surgical bra for six weeks
• Avoid heavy lifting and intense exercise
• No submersion in standing water like baths or pools
• Expect gradual resolution of swelling

Combining Procedures

Some patients might benefit from combining breast lift with augmentation. Dr. Eich will assess individual needs and recommend the most appropriate surgical approach during the initial consultation.
