Dr Berzin Procedure Removes Stigma It Is A Breast Lift, Not A Boob Job

Online, February 27, 2013 (Newswire.com) - At the Texas Medical Center, in Houston, TX, Dr. Edward Berzin, MD has gained the reputation as one of the finest surgeons in his field. He performs aesthetic, plastic reconstruction surgeries, specializing in breast cancer reconstruction. His latest ventures have included the implementation of "Breast Lifts," not to be mistaken for augmentation, or what is more commonly known as a "boob job."

A breast lift, called a "Mastoplexy," involves no implants but most assuredly can increase a patient's self-confidence despite no major changes in her appearance. It is a simple surgical procedure, most often performed on an out-patient basis under general anesthesia. Most commonly the mastoplexy surgery only lasts between an hour-and-half to three hours. If you are required or prefer to have the procedure in the hospital, plan for a day or two stay-over. Often, candidates for this procedure are asked by Dr. Berzin to have a mammogram prior to planning the surgery.

Once the surgery has been performed, a patient can expect to experience mild discomfort and swelling for a few days, while wearing a surgical bra over gauze for those first few days. Dr. Berzin monitors the pain and supplies the appropriate prescription medication necessary to keep the patient as comfortable as possible. After a few short days, the patient should remove the surgical bra carefully and move on to a soft, support bra to be worn constantly for approximately four weeks. Although, the stitches will be removed at Dr. Berzin's office in approximately two weeks following surgery. For the complete recovery period of four weeks, the patient cannot lift anything above her head.

Prime candidates for mastoplexy surgery include women who have breast fed and experience thinning of the breast. Although Dr. Berzin does prefer and suggest that women who plan to have additional children, wait to have the procedure, he does report that mastoplexy does not have an effect on breast feeding. Others who qualify for a breast lift are those with sagging breasts due to loss of weight or oncoming age, etc. One important thing to to keep in mind is that the smaller the breast, the better the breast lift. In other words, gravity works, ie, a woman with small, light breasts will enjoy the perkiness resulting from a breast lift much longer than a woman with larger, heavier breasts.

Dr. Berzin is a graduate of the Baylor School of Medicine, specializing in microsurgeries, peripheral nerve surgeries, aesthetic, plastic and reconstructive surgeries inclusive of breast reconstruction. He is a member of the ASPS, the American Medical Association, TX Medical Association and the Harris County Medical Association. He is tri-lingual, fluent in English, Spanish and Russian. Although his primary location is at the TX Medical Center he does have an office in Kingwood, TX, as well.
