SCOTTSDALE, AZ, November 16, 2012 (Press-News.org) Breast ptosis is the medical name for dropping or saggy breasts and the problem addressed with a breast lift. Ptosis can be caused by factors including, age, genetics, pregnancy and breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and even cigarette smoking. If you are experiencing ptosis, no matter its cause, you may be a good candidate for breast lift surgery.
Ideal Breast Lift Candidates
The best candidates for breast lift surgery should be dissatisfied with sagging or drooping of the breasts. In addition, good candidates should be:
- In good physical health
- Nonsmokers
- Aware of potential risks and complications of breast lift surgery
- Prepared for a surgical procedure and recovery time
- Prepared to closely follow all of their plastic surgeon's pre and postoperative advice
You should also have realistic expectations prior to undergoing breast lift surgery. A breast lift can improve the contours of your body, restore confidence and feelings of appeal, and even enhance clothing options. However, breast lift surgery provides no medical benefits. If you have large, cumbersome breasts, breast reduction surgery will be better suited to meet your needs.
Breast Lift with Augmentation
Many women experience a loss of volume in addition to ptosis. When this is the case, your plastic surgeon may recommend combining breast lift surgery with breast augmentation. With this option, your plastic surgeon can enhance volume, improve shape, and produce symmetry along with restoring a lifted, perky, and youthful look to your breasts.
There may be additional considerations for candidacy if you are combining procedures. These should be discussed with you during your initial consultation with you plastic surgeon. Take time during your consultation to discuss you ultimate goals with your plastic surgeon to ensure he has the information necessary to tailor your procedure to meet you exact needs.

Comments On The Texas Petition For Secession
2012-11-16
Chuck Thompson's article in the New Republic responds to the recent 80,000-signature-strong petition to the White House requesting that Texas be allowed to secede from the union.

Filed for Bankruptcy? Don't Spend That Tax Refund Yet
2012-11-16
Why Federal Tax Refunds Matter in Your Bankruptcy Case
The federal income tax refund is considered to be your property under bankruptcy law - even if you haven't received it yet - which, unfortunately, also means that the bankruptcy trustee will consider this money as an asset in both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases, subject to his or her control and disposition. (See 11 U.C.S. Section 541(a)(1) and 11 U.S.C. Section 1306(a)(1).)

Illinois Work Comp: Widow's Suit Barred by Borrowed Employee Doctrine
2012-11-16
The past July, an Illinois appeals court affirmed a lower court ruling that stated a widow of a maintenance man who died in an accident while repairing a garage door at a car dealership may not sue in court for her husband's wrongful death.
Rather, his status as a "borrowed employee" at the dealership made a workers' compensation award her only legal remedy. Because workers' compensation covered the incident, it was the "exclusive remedy," preventing other types of legal claims, including her wrongful death lawsuit.
Explaining the Workers' Compensation ...
