Breast Lift FAQ's

Am I a good candidate for breast lift surgery?
If you are basically satisfied with your breast size but one or more of the following situations apply to you, mastopexy may be an option for you:

• You are unhappy with the downward pointing position of your nipples.
• Your breasts are sagging.
• Your breasts have lost their contour or shape.

What happens when I see Dr Lim?
Your first consultation with Dr Lim will take around 45 minutes and you are most welcome to bring a friend or husband/partner along to your consultation. During the consultation, Dr Lim will take the time to discuss the procedure with you, the changes you desire and any other issues related to the appearance of your breasts that you feel are important to you. This will help Dr Lim understand your expectations and determine if they are achievable. Dr Lim will explain the risks of surgery and discuss the methods of breast lift surgery with you. During your consultation, your breasts will be assessed and a few measurements and photographs will be taken to plan the procedure. You will be given a written quotation and information to take home to read. You do not have to make the decision to proceed with the surgery at this initial consultation.

How will Dr Lim evaluate me for surgery?
Dr Lim will examine your breasts and consider such factors as the size and shape of your breasts, the quality of your skin and the position of your nipples and areolas. You should come to the consultation prepared to discuss your medical history. This will include information about any medical conditions you may have, any medications you are currently taking, any drug allergies you have, other medical treatments you have received and any previous surgery or mammograms you may have had.
