If you’re a Topeka woman who’s considering a breast lift or reduction, you’re not alone. More and more every day, women are turning to their surgeon, Dr. Peterson, for advice on which procedure is most appropriate for them.
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reshape the breasts, while a reduction is designed to reduce the size of the breasts and improve their overall shape. Both procedures are typically performed under general anesthesia, and both can provide stunning results that last for many years.
Deciding on the Right Procedure For You
If you’re not quite sure which procedure would be best for you, Dr. Peterson can help you make an informed decision. During your consultation, he’ll take your medical history, perform a physical examination, and answer any questions you may have. You’ll also be able to view before-and-after photos of other patients and discuss your goals for the procedure.
The Cost of a Breast Lift or Reduction
If you’re concerned about the cost of a breast lift or reduction, it’s important to know that many insurance plans will cover part or all of the cost. If not, Dr. Peterson offers flexible payment plans to make your procedure more affordable.
What to Expect During a Breast Lift or Reduction
The procedure itself can take anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the complexity of the surgery. Dr. Peterson will typically make an incision around the edge of the areola and remove or reposition the breast tissue to provide a more lifted, youthful appearance.
A mastopexy or breast reduction also typically involves a one to two night stay in the hospital, and most patients are able to return to their normal activities within 7-14 days.
Reaping the Benefits of a Breast Lift or Reduction
In addition to the physical benefits of a breast lift or reduction, many women also report a boost in self-confidence and an overall improvement in their quality of life. Looking and feeling great in your clothes, having improved posture and being able to participate in exercise and other activities without discomfort are all reasons why so many Topeka women choose to opt for a breast lift or reduction.
