Am I A Candidate for a Breast Augmentation + Lift?
There are several reasons why you may want breast augmentation combined with a lift. It's a great choice if you desire to fully transform your breasts while improving the firmness of your breast skin. Breast augmentation and lift can enhance your overall curves by adding volume and addressing sagging caused by significant weight loss, aging, or pregnancy. Dr. Marshall will be able to assess whether a breast lift alone will achieve your desired results, or if both a lift and implants are better to attain your goals.
how does a BREAST AUGMENTATION + LIFT work?
Dr. Marshall will be able to determine whether a breast lift alone can achieve your best outcome, or if both a lift and implants are better to attain your goals. A combination breast surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. In most cases, the lift portion of the surgery is done first. Any excess skin is cut away and the surrounding tissue is tightened. Dr. Marshall will discuss breast implant options with you before the surgery so the selected implant can be easily placed. For some patients, the nipple and/or areola may be moved to better match your new breast size and shape. The recovery time for augmentation and lift will vary for every patient, but you will probably be strong enough to resume your normal activities within about a week. You will need to refrain from any exercise or strenuous activities for at least 2 – 6 weeks. Your breasts will begin to settle into their new, transformed position after several months.
What to Expect Following A Breast Augmentation + Lift
The time needed for recovery for this particular procedure will differ from patient to patient. Still, you should be able to return to your everyday activities within about a week. However, you do need to refrain from exercise and strenuous activities for at least 2 – 6 weeks. There may also be moderate inflammation after the surgery that may last for 2 – 3 weeks. Your breasts will settle into their new position in a few months, and at that time, you should be able to see your beautiful results.
Breast Augmentation With Lift FAQ
How much does breast augmentation with a lift cost?
A surgical breast augmentation with a lift will be priced based on multiple factors, particularly whether your augmentation is performed with implants (saline or silicone) or a fat transfer. In addition, some lift procedures have more complexity depending on the surgical case. In your initial consultation, Dr. Marshall will develop a custom surgical plan with costs estimates. Andre Marshall Plastic Surgery takes many payment methods, including low-interest medical financing.
Will a breast augmentation with a lift correct sagging?
The benefit of a breast augmentation with a lift is that it improves the size of your chest while also correcting sag by removing excess skin. The breast lift will also adjust your natural breast tissue — so your results are perky and firm. This is important because augmenting breasts with even mild sagging can create a negative outcome if a lift isn't performed to address the sag. If moderate to severe sagging is present, a lift should be completed, and then implants or a fat transfer can be performed. In your consultation with Dr. Marshall, he will listen to your concerns and goals before examining the condition of your chest. Following this, he can give you his recommendation on whether your goals require a lift, implants, or a combination of both.
Which incision is best for my surgery?
Breast surgery incisions have become more advanced, with new techniques being performed that help reduce scarring. The surgical incision that is best for you will depend on the type of implants and the severity of breast sag. If you have severe breast sag, an anchor-shaped incision pattern is most effective. When developing your surgical plan, Dr. Marshall will go over incision patterns and which is best for your needs. Regardless of the method used, Dr. Marshall makes incisions carefully for natural-looking results.
How long will my results last?
As long as you do not have massive weight changes or become pregnant, a breast augmentation with a lift should last for a long time. Although both saline and silicone implants can last for many years, they do need to be assessed regularly to check for issues. During surgery, Dr. Marshall sets your implants using a method that minimizes future breast sag. This will help your results last for a long time. It is important to understand that while cosmetic breast surgery will give amazing results, natural aging will continue. Eventually, you may begin to develop loose skin and sag again, which can be addressed with a second procedure.
How bad is the scarring?
Dr. Marshall performs surgical augmentation with a lift — so all incisions are thin and small. He does his best to place incisions in areas that are less visible, such as in the folds of the breast or along the areola border. If you properly care for them, the scars created by your breast augmentation with a lift will eventually fade — so they blend with your normal skin. Dr. Marshall or a member of his staff will discuss scar care tips you should follow after your surgery — so your incisions heal flat and smooth.
