Performed by Beirut’s top cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Elie Abdelhak, performs breast lift surgery to uplift the breasts by removing excess skin to restore a firmer, perkier, and more aesthetically pleasing shape to sagging and dropping breasts.
The breast lift does not only improve the patient’s appearance by restoring her youthful, feminine proportions, but also help bras and swimsuits fit more comfortably and attractively.
There are several techniques the surgeon could use, but generally the operation involves:
- Moving your nipple to its new position – usually while it’s still attached to the blood supply.
- Removing excess fat, glandular tissue and skin from your breasts.
- Reshaping the remaining breast tissue.
The Day of Your Breast Lift
After consulting Dr. Elie, he will provide you with the needed information for your breast lift (a CBC test is recommended). The breast lift operation lasts 3 to 4 hours and is performed and is performed under general anesthesia with one night stay at clinic. At the first postoperative appointment, the sterile surgical dressings are removed and replaced with a supportive surgical bra. Patients are expected to wear this bra at all times for three weeks.
Recovery Time
While every patient is different, most women are able to return to work in one week, light exercise in three weeks, and resume strenuous activity after five weeks. Antibiotics and pain medicine are prescribed following the surgery. Patients are required to avoid sleeping on their stomachs for the first two weeks, and are advised to take sponge baths until the sutures are removed
