Breast Lift in Winnipeg, MB

Like most aesthetic surgeries, a breast lift requires time for proper recovery. The recovery period can vary for each patient based on the extent of the surgery and individual health conditions.

• Initial Recovery: In the first few days, you will have bandages on the treated area. Swelling, bruising, and discoloration are common but should subside within 1-2 weeks.
• Resuming Daily Activities: Most patients can return to work and normal daily activities after about 1 week. However, it is essential to avoid straining, bending, or lifting for 4-6 weeks.
• Full Recovery: While full recovery can take 6-8 weeks, many patients feel back to normal within 1-2 weeks. Remember, everyone heals at their own pace, and recovery experiences can differ.

For detailed guidance on what to expect after your surgery, please refer to Dr. Avi Islur’s Post-Operative Care Instructions for breast lift procedures. Your surgery and recovery plan will be tailored to your specific needs, so individual results and instructions may vary.

Yes, a breast lift does leave scars, as it involves making incisions to remove excess skin and reshape the breasts. However, the extent and visibility of the scars depend on the surgical technique used and your body’s natural healing process.

Here are the common types of scars associated with different breast lift techniques:

• Peri-Areolar (Donut) Lift: Leaves a scar around the edge of the areola, where the darker skin meets the lighter breast skin. This scar is often well-concealed and fades over time.
• Vertical (Lollipop) Lift: Results in a scar around the areola and a vertical scar that runs from the bottom of the areola to the breast crease. The scars are typically less noticeable and blend into the natural lines of the breast.
• Anchor (Inverted T) Lift: Leaves a scar around the areola, a vertical scar down to the breast crease, and a horizontal scar along the breast crease. This technique is used for more extensive lifts, but the scars generally fade significantly over time.

While scars are inevitable, they often fade and become less visible over time with proper care. Surgeons like Dr. Avi Islur use advanced techniques to minimize scarring, and following post-operative care instructions can further help improve the appearance of scars.
