Before the surgery, you need to have a thorough consultation with Dr. Dragana Spica.
She may require blood tests and mammographic results to determine if you are fit for the surgery.

On the day of your breast lift you are prepped for the surgery and given anesthesia. Dr. Spica will see you before the surgery to cover the details of the surgery again, to check the consent forms and to mark your surgical sites.
Dr. Dragana Spica makes the incisions and reshapes your breasts according to your treatment plan.
After the surgery, Dr. Spica will inform your friends or family that the procedure is finished.
When you feel comfortable, you are discharged from the surgical sites and given all the instructions for the recovery period.
Breast lift is not painful during the procedure. After the surgery you may experience mild to moderate discomfort.
The recovery period after breast lift generally lasts for 1 to 2 weeks.
If you have a desk work you may return to it after about a week.
During the recovery you should sleep on your back for a few weeks to avoid pressuring the incisions. Also, you should avoid rigorous exercise and lifting heavy things.
You may return to your regular daily routine after 6 to 8 weeks.
You should pay attention to the presence of bruising and swelling, which should subside after 2 weeks.
Also, you need to keep the surgical site clean to prevent infection.
It’s important to have regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Dragana Spica. During the first visit, Dr. Spica will remove draining tubes if you had them.
