Breast Augmentation Surgery With A Breast Lift

Breast enhancement or augmentation is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic procedures in the United States today. It can dramatically improve the appearance of a womans breasts. This procedure is used to enlarge small or underdeveloped breasts. A lift procedure could be added in cases where volume loss and ptosis occurs (following pregnancy and delivery).

It is of paramount importance to discuss all your goals and expectations with your surgeon. Your breast shape, diameter, degree of ptosis, symmetry etc. will be assessed during the consultation. The following important points should be addressed by your surgeon:

1-Implant size that would fit your body.
2-Different incisions to access your breast.
3-Types of implants available.
4-Location of the implant.
5-Post-operative course and down time.
6-Effect of surgery on nipple sensation and future nursing.

Extremely large or droopy breasts may be the result of excessive development or the aging process. Such changes most frequently occur for hereditary reasons during menarche, pregnancy or following menopause; or at any time during a womans life as a result of weight gain.

Although the goals of breast reduction and breast uplift procedures are different, the pre-operative preparation, surgical incision, and postoperative course are quite similar. In both procedures, incisions are designed to create a more youthful and natural shaped breast. In both procedures, this involves elevating the nipple/areola complex to a more natural position on the center of the breast mound.

Pre and post operative of some of our patients will be reviewed. Finally your surgeon will discuss risks, alternatives and post-operative recovery.
