Also; usually if a patient is going to
have more than one procedure performed at
once, the surgeon is highly likely to reduce
some of the fees and give the patient
a discount.
It is also recommended in some cases that
a patient combines several procedures at
the same time if they are a good candidate.
This will allow the patient to pay only
once for any anesthesia or operating room
costs and it also allows the patient to
recover at the same time from all the procedures
performed.
The price of nose reshaping ranges from
$3,000 to $8,000, with the average cost
being around $4,500. This cost usually involves
three fees:
How does the scar look like?
This dependes on the amount of droopiness
of the breasts. Minimally droopy breasts
require minimal lift and therefore small
scar which is usually on top of the areola,
on the border of the dark areolar skin
and it is hardly noticable.This type of
breast lift is called Crescent Lift.
In Vertical Breast Lift, the scar looks
like a lollipop whereby it surrounds the
nipple-areolar cpmlex and extends vertically
downward.
The third type of breast lift is called
Inverted T or Anchor scar or Wise pattern.
The scar is similar to vertical lift with
a horizontal segment along the inframmamary
folds.
Once you are evaluated during your consultation,
an accurate diagnosis can be made and
an appropriate technique suitable to your
condition is recommended.
Would I have a full upper breast
poles?
This is a major concern amoung patients
who have lost the fullness and youthfull
shape of their breasts. Eventhough with
the above techniques, the breast tissues
are lifted, in majority of patients due
to loss of elasticity of the breast tissue,
the loss of upper fullness returns after
several months and therefore breast augmentation
at the same time is recommeded. This will
allow restoration of the upper fullness
of the breasts. Occasionally, in patients
with excessive droopiness, a special technique
can be used to achieve upper fullness
without breast implants.This is achieved
with what is known as inferior pedicle
flap technique, which we secure up close
to the shoulder area and therefore achieve
the desire affect without implants.
Is there a need for a drain placement?
Usually no. On very rare occasions a
single drain is placed in each side and
removed a day or so later.
How long is the recovery period?
This will initially takes several weeks
but majority of patients take one to two
weeks off of work. Complete healing is
achieved in 6 to 9 months.
Usually, a general anesthetic is administered,
so that you will be asleep throughout
the procedure. When surgery is completed,
you will be taken into a recovery area
where you will continue to be closely
monitored. In many instances, small drain
tubes will have been placed in your breasts
to help avoid the accumulation of fluids.
Gauze dressings will be placed on your
breasts and covered with an elastic bandage
or surgical bra.
How will I look and feel initially?
The day after surgery, you will be encouraged
to get out of bed for short periods of
time. After several days, you will be
able to move about more comfortably. Straining,
bending and lifting must be avoided, however,
since these activities might cause increased
swelling or even bleeding. You may be
instructed to sleep on your back to avoid
pressure on your breasts.
Any surgical drains will be removed a
day or two after surgery, at which time
your dressings may also be changed or
removed. You will be instructed to wear
a support bra for a few weeks, until the
swelling and discoloration of your breasts
diminishes. Generally, stitches will be
removed in stages over a period of approximately
three weeks, beginning about one week
after surgery.
You may notice that you feel less sensation
in the nipple and areola areas. This usually
is temporary. It may, however, take weeks,
months or even more than a year before
sensation returns to normal. Your breasts
may also require some time to assume a
more natural shape. Incisions will initially
be red or pink in color. They will remain
this way for many months following surgery.
