Breast Augmentation with Lift

A woman’s bust plays a major role in her sense of femininity and self-confidence. Numerous occurrences throughout life, in addition to the body’s natural aging process, can have a huge impact on the appearance of the breasts, leading to unwanted changes.

Life events such as weight loss or pregnancy can lead to sagging, drooping, and volume loss. That said, these effects can also be a result of the natural aging process. Whatever the case may be, these patients can benefit from a breast augmentation with lift procedure.

What is a breast augmentation with lift?

A breast augmentation with lift is specifically designed to help women who would like to reverse sagging in their breasts with a lift and would also like to boost their breast volume by using implants. This treatment effectively combines a skin tightening technique (removing excess skin) with an elevation technique, which is designed to raise the breasts to a higher position on the chest wall.

When it comes to breast procedures, determining the need for a lift is an essential part of the consultation process. Some patients with breast sagging seek out a breast augmentation alone, and they don’t realize that this can negatively impact the appearance of their bust. Combining breast augmentation with a lift is a great way to both enhance one’s bust size and give it a more aesthetically pleasing positioning.

Who is an ideal candidate for Breast Augmentation with Lift?

Ideal candidates for a breast augmentation with lift are women who are experiencing:

Breasts that look ‘deflated’ or overly flat
Changes in breast shape and projection
Stretch marks on the breasts
Low-hanging breasts
Sagging and/or overly large nipples

As with any surgical procedure, patients should:

Be of sound body and mind
Be non-smokers or willing to quit prior to the treatment
Have a strong understanding of the treatment, recovery process, and scarring
Have realistic expectations for the outcomes of the procedure

What does the procedure entail?

A breast augmentation with lift procedure is usually carried out under general anesthesia and can take anywhere from three to four hours to complete. A traditional breast augmentation procedure involves surgically inserting implants behind each of the patient’s breasts. These implants will be placed either behind the chest musculature or behind the breast tissue. Implants by themselves are usually not enough to address sagging breasts.

Combining an augmentation with a lift can successfully lift the breasts while also giving them a rounder shape and increasing the patient’s cup size.

This procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, which means that patients can recover in the comfort of their own homes. Patients will be given detailed instructions to guide them through their healing process and follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor their progress.

What is the recovery process like?

In most cases, patients are able to get back to their daily routines in just a few weeks following the procedure. However, patients must avoid all strenuous activity (heavy lifting and exercise) for about three to four weeks. Upon discharge, patients will be provided with all the information they need to have a positive recovery.

Patients can typically get back to work after a period of 1 to 2 weeks. Any signs of bruising will fade away by the two-week mark. Swelling can take up to three weeks to totally dissipate. Patients will receive more information about this during the private consultation.
