Crescent Breast Lift Surgery

When it comes to a breast lift, there are several different incision types, each of which has there own purpose as well as outcome potential. One of these incisions is known as the crescent incision or crescent breast lift. This incision, a semicircle incision is made on either the top or bottom side of the areola depending on the amount of lift that is needed. After this procedure or semicircle incision is made, a second incision is made only a slight distance from the first creating the shape of a crescent.

The effect of the two incisions means that there will be a crescent shaped piece of skin that will be removed. What this does is it slows the surgeon to pull the loose sagging skin from three sides of the breasts tighter and the result is a lift in the breasts.

After these incisions are made and the excess skin is removed, the surgeon will then pull the opening closed and suture it shut. Before he or she does though, in the event it is needed, they may use dissolving stitches to hold everything together as well as support the breasts in such a way as to release the pressure from the visible stitching. After this support suturing is performed your incisions will be closed and then dressed with tape and compression bandages which will remain on for roughly a week with regular changing.

The procedure is considered to be the least invasive of the incisions and it also therefore has a shorter recovery time. The other incision types make a full incision around the nipple completely detaching it other than the actual milk ducts.

It is important that when you are choosing a surgeon to perform your procedure, that you make sure that he or she is a certified surgeon with the board of plastic surgeons. What this means is that basically the surgeon has shown that he or she is knowledgeable and that they are experienced enough to perform the procedure alone. Furthermore, the fact that the surgeon is considered to be experienced and knowledgeable also means that there will be a lesser chance of having a complication associated with your procedure as well as a faster recovery period and a better outcome.
