Breast Lift Puyallup, WA | Lynn Chung MD

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Breast sagging is a natural occurrence influenced by factors like pregnancy, nursing, aging, and gravity. Many patients seek a breast lift, or mastopexy, to address changes in breast position and firmness.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

Women who are finished having children and want to address specific breast concerns are excellent candidates for this procedure. Typical candidates experience:

• Decreased breast firmness
• Downward-pointing nipples
• Significant breast sagging

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Chung performs the breast lift using three strategic incisions to access and reshape breast tissue. During the procedure, she removes excess skin and tissue, raises the breasts, and can adjust nipple positioning if required.

Potential Outcomes

Patients may experience a minor reduction in breast size when excess skin is removed. Those desiring significant size changes might consider concurrent breast augmentation or reduction procedures.

Recovery and Expectations

Dr. Chung prioritizes patient support and comprehensive post-surgical care. Most patients can return to work within three days following the procedure.

Immediate Post-Surgical Period

Patients typically experience swelling and discomfort immediately after surgery. Dr. Chung manages this through:

• Prescribed pain medication
• Recommendation of supportive surgical bras
• Personalized healing guidance

Long-Term Results

Full surgical results may take up to six months to become completely evident. Patients can expect continued improvement as the body heals, with Dr. Chung's expertise ensuring natural-looking outcomes.
