Frequently Asked Questions about Lift and Augmentation Surgery
Is Recovery More Painful?
Dr. Parkins provides medication to ensure you are comfortable. Concerns over potential discomfort do not sway patients from choosing surgery and loving their results. Regardless of how plastic surgery procedures are marketed, patients can expect surgery of any kind to come with a period of discomfort during the healing process. This does not last, however, and comfort is increased each day. After day three of recovery, patients often experience a significant boost in wellness and comfort.
Will I Have to Take a Long Time away from Work?
Combining procedures is often easier than two separate treatments and having to take time away on two different dates. Patients typically take one week off and can return to work sooner if they do not have a physically demanding job.
Will My Breasts Sag Again After Surgery?
Changes in skin elasticity are natural, and a breast lift will not prevent this process. However, properly performed lifts reposition the breasts so they look uplifted for many years to come. Breasts will look much perkier as you get older, compared to their appearance if you did not have a surgical lift. Dr. Parkins performs treatment to create the best possible results. If additional care is needed, including placing a tissue scaffold to prevent deformities, such as bottoming out, this can be discussed during your consultation.
As breasts heal and settle, they will drop into a natural position. If you have questions or concerns about aftercare and what to expect, be sure to contact Dr. Parkins and her team for assistance.
