What to Consider Before Getting a Breast Lift?

As you age, you’ve probably noticed changes in your body that don’t seem flattering. It happens to everyone. Over time the collagen and elastin in your skin decreases. It’s just part of aging. For most areas of your body it really doesn’t matter but for women there’s an area that becomes noticeably different as the years march forward. There are tricks that you can try to make it look like time has been a little more flattering. Push-up bras and sports bras can help maintain a certain level of support. A breast lift can also help fight the battle.

When do you ditch the push-up bras for the surgical option though? At what point do you tire of tying elastic around your chest and hope it helps keeps giving you that level of support that you long for? The answer it’s up to you. Sure that sounds like a copout. The point is, first things first you need to determine for yourself whether or not you are planning to have any type of plastic surgery performed and that includes a breast lift. If you’re looking for some indicators read on.

First off, you may not have experienced pain in the past but you’ve noticed lately that you’re having upper back, neck and even shoulder pain. These can all be caused by excess weight on your chest. Before gravity started taking its toll your body could handle the weight on your chest because the elastin in your skin was keeping the weight in place. Now it’s literally pulling on your muscles, mainly the ones in your shoulders, back and neck. Push-up bras may be helping some but not completely. At this point you might want to consider a breast lift.

Another indicator is the bra itself. When you are wearing a bra if you notice that the straps are starting to dig into your shoulders then it might indicate a problem. There could be two issues, one you could have the wrong size bra, it happens. Two, your chest could be making it difficult for the bra to hold up. It happens, especially if you are in need of a breast lift. If this is happening you might want to consider having the procedure done. It can help to alleviate some of the pain and discomfort you hare feeling from your bra straps.

No one should tell you when or what cosmetic procedure to have done. Knowing that you want a breast lift because you want it is more than half the battle. Whether you want it for the reasons stated above or just because you want to feel younger and look nicer, it doesn’t really matter. Your reasons are yours and as long as they are made because you’re depressed or because someone told you to then that’s all that matters. If you’re still not certain that it’s the right choice for you speak with a plastic surgeon for more information to help you make your decision.
