Your Breast Lift Plastic Surgery (Mastopexy) Consultation

Your Breast Lift Plastic Surgery (Mastopexy) Consultation | New HavenIn a major cosmetic surgery procedure such as breast lift, the pre-operative consultation has a pivotal role. The patient should be prepared to proactively engage with the surgeon during the consultation. The final success of the breast lift procedure will depend to an extent on how successful the initial consultation has been.

The surgeon will prepare a customized breast lift surgery plan to match with the unique needs of the patient based on the information collected during the consultation.

Dr. Amir Nasir is a board certified plastic surgeon providing breast lift and various other procedures to patients in New Haven, Westport, Fairfield County, Fairfield, Bridgeport, CT, New York, and surrounding locations.

 

Health Assessment

As a first step, the surgeon will perform a general health exam to assess the patient’s fitness as a candidate for breast lift plastic surgery. They will also examine the patient’s overall breast anatomy, amount of skin laxity in the breasts, type and quality of skin, and the size and position of nipples. If necessary, the surgeon may order a few specialized mammograms too.

During the consultation, the surgeon will go through the patient’s medical records, and ask questions about any current health conditions of the patient. Body weight and measurements will be checked to plan for a proportionate breast figure.

 

Reviewing Patient’s Goals

During the consultation, the surgeon will encourage the patient to share her innate cosmetic goals with regard to her shape and appearance of breasts. The surgeon will combine that feedback with the patient’s specific anatomical parameters to determine the degree of correction required and whether breast lift may have to be performed along with breast implants or as an independent surgery.

The patient should take along images from magazines or websites to show to the surgeon about the kind of breast figure she is looking for. The surgeon will take her inputs into account while creating a custom breast lift surgery plan tailored to meet her requirements.  

 

Developing Expectations

Some surgeons like to present breast lift before and after images during the pre-op consultation. They will encourage the patient to review as many photos as possible to form realistic expectations, and have a clear idea of what a breast lift can or cannot do for her.

The surgeon will also answer the patient’s questions and concerns on all aspects related to the procedure. In some cases, the surgeon may provide testimonials of past patients to let the patient know about their personal treatment experience at the practice.

You should have a list of questions prepared. This is just something you should do for yourself. The surgeon is taking their time to have this meeting because they want to help you out but you need to find out fundamental information and the window to find out this information does not remain open forever.

Pre- and Post-Operative Instructions

The patient may be asked to stop certain types of medications and nutrition supplements for a few days. Smokers will be required to stop smoking for a specified time period before and after the procedure.

The surgeon or their team will advise the patient about arranging for transportation on the day of surgery and hiring a nurse for aftercare if needed.
