WHAT IS A BREAST AUGMENTATION WITH A LIFT?
As women age, they can lose breast volume while others may begin to notice loose, excess skin on their chest. Some women will have both problems with sagging, deflated breasts. If you want to increase breast volume while also eliminating excess skin, plastic surgeon Dr. Charleston Chua recommends a breast augmentation plus a breast lift. This procedure at Chua Plastic Surgery starts by placing saline or silicone implants to reach your desired size then removing loose skin from the breasts to create a perkier look. Breast surgery with a lift and augmentation addresses multiple concerns, such as size, position, and shape, resulting in perkier, more youthful-looking breasts. Schedule an appointment at Chua Plastic Surgery to discuss your specific concerns and goals with Dr. Chua so he can help you decide if a combination breast surgery with both augmentation and a lift best fits your goals.
HOW IS A BREAST AUGMENTATION WITH A LIFT PERFORMED?
Dr. Chua performs breast augmentation with a lift at an accredited surgical facility as an outpatient procedure where general anesthesia will be used to keep you comfortable. The augmentation portion of the surgery is done first followed by removal of any loose skin. Dr. Chua will explain breast implant options before your surgery so the selected implant can be easily placed. Finally the interface between the implant and the newly tightened breast is smoothed out. In some cases, the areola and/or nipple will need to be moved to better match your new breast shape and size. The time needed for recovery for this particular procedure will vary for every patient; however, you will probably be well enough to get back to your day-to-day activities in about a week. You will need to abstain from any exercise and strenuous activities for 2 – 6 weeks. You may experience mild to moderate inflammation after your surgery that can last for 2 – 3 weeks. Your implants will begin to settle into their final position after 5-6 months.
