The Unexpected Emotional Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

The benefits of breast lift surgery extend far beyond the physical transformation. While many women anticipate the change in how they look after the procedure, they often find themselves surprised by the profound emotional impact of the procedure. A breast lift can rejuvenate not only your appearance but also your self-confidence and overall well-being in ways you might not expect.

Who should consider a breast lift?

In our experience at the Parker Center, there isn’t a “typical” patient seeking breast lift surgery. Our patients often fall into one of the following categories:

• A woman who became bothered by the sagging and the loss of fullness in her breasts after childbirth or with weight loss.
• A woman whose breasts progressively sag as she ages.
• A teenager troubled by the her breasts sagging as they develop, often with downward pointing nipples.

Women with breasts that are too large may find relief from shoulder and back pain with a breast reduction, which usually includes breast lifting techniques.

Dr. Parker can also perform breast lift surgery in conjunction with breast implants or autologous augmentation to simultaneously improve breast position, shape, size, and symmetry. You can see some of his patients’ breast lift with augmentation results in the photos below.

What are the emotional benefits of a breast lift?

Regardless of their reasons for requesting breast lift surgery, Dr. Parker has observed that his patients share a common set of feelings following surgery.

• Improved self-esteem: Over 90% of patients have an improved body image and self-esteem.
• Exceeded expectations: Patients report the procedure exceeded their expectations one year after their surgery.
• Increased comfort, feminity, relationships: Patients say they feel more comfortable with their bodies and have a greater sense of femininity. They also report their relationships are enhanced.
• Enhanced confidence: Patients feel more self-confident and demonstrate improved interpersonal skills.
• Heightened enthusiasm for the procedure: Almost all of his patients would undergo the procedure again and recommend it to their friends.
• Elevated outlook: Many patients feel a psychological lift from being able to wear stylish clothing and swimwear that they previously could not.

These positive emotional responses to breast lift surgery are very gratifying to Dr. Parker and his staff at the Parker Center.

Is a breast lift right for you?

Youthful, perky breasts are achievable for a significant number of patients, though breast lift surgery is not for everyone. You may not be a candidate for breast lift surgery if you have significant health problems or if you are not sufficiently motivated for surgery.

You should seek the surgery for yourself and not because you think it will salvage a failing relationship or have people look at you in a different light. Don’t be talked into this by someone else—only you can decide what is right for you.
