What to Expect with Breast Lift Surgery
Step 1: Your Personalized Consultation
Your breast lift journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Bryan McIntosh. This isn’t just about surgery—it’s about understanding you. We’ll discuss your concerns, assess your breasts, and design a treatment plan tailored to your body and aesthetic goals. Dr. McIntosh will also explain the procedure, incision techniques, and expected outcomes, ensuring you feel fully informed and confident.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss:
- Your medical history and any underlying health concerns
- The level of breast sagging and the best surgical approach
- Whether a breast lift alone will achieve your desired results or if augmentation should be combined for enhanced volume
Step 2: Pre-Surgery Preparation
To ensure the best results, our team will provide clear pre-surgery instructions, which may include:
- Adjusting medications if necessary
- Avoiding smoking and alcohol before surgery
- Preparing for post-surgery recovery with a comfortable home setup
We’ll walk you through every step so you know exactly what to expect.
Step 3: The Procedure
On surgery day, you’ll be in the skilled hands of Dr. McIntosh and our experienced team at our state-of-the-art Bellevue facility. The surgery typically lasts two to three hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Depending on your needs, Dr. McIntosh may use one of the following incision techniques:
- Peri-areolar incision (around the nipple) for minimal sagging
- Vertical (lollipop) incision for moderate sagging
- Anchor incision for significant sagging and reshaping
Excess skin is removed, breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipples are repositioned for a natural, rejuvenated appearance.
Step 4: Recovery & Results
Recovery times vary, but most patients can resume light activities within one to two weeks. Here’s what to expect:
- Initial swelling and bruising, which will subside over time
- The use of a supportive bra to aid healing
- Follow-up visits to monitor your progress and ensure optimal results
Dr. McIntosh and the team at Refine will guide you through the healing process, offering personalized aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery.
