What is Breast Augmentation + Lift?

Breast Augmentation + Lift, also known as mastopexy with implant, is a surgical procedure that combines the placement of breast implants with a breast lift. This procedure is typically performed for women who have experienced significant breast sagging due to factors such as aging, weight loss, or pregnancy.

During the procedure, a plastic surgeon will use breast implants to restore volume and shape to the breasts. At the same time, excess skin is removed, and the remaining breast tissue is lifted and tightened to achieve a fuller and lifted appearance. The combination of breast augmentation + lift allows for both reconstruction and enhancement of the breasts.

Who is a good candidate for Breast Augmentation + Lift?

Breast Augmentation + Lift may be suitable for women who desire breast reconstruction or augmentation while also addressing breast sagging or ptosis. Candidates for this procedure typically include:

  1. Women who have lost breast volume and experienced sagging due to factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or aging.
  2. Women who desire larger and more youthful-looking breasts but also have sagging or asymmetry that requires a lift to achieve their desired aesthetic outcome.
  3. Women who have undergone significant weight loss and have excess skin and drooping breasts that would benefit from both augmentation and a lift.

It’s important to consult with a certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Baygöl to determine if Breast Augmentation + Lift is the right procedure for your specific needs and goals. Dr. Baygöl will evaluate your breast anatomy, skin quality, and overall health to determine the most appropriate surgical plan for you.

FAQ

What is the difference between breast augmentation and a breast augmentation & lift?

Breast augmentation involves the placement of implants to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. A breast lift, on the other hand, addresses sagging or drooping breasts by removing excess skin and lifting the breast tissue to a higher position. Augmentation + Lift combines both procedures to achieve increased volume and improved breast position and shape.

Will I have visible scars after Breast Augmentation + Lift?

Just as with any surgical procedure, Breast Augmentation + Lift surgery will result in some degree of scarring. Although these scars are evident in the first few days after surgery, their prominence decreases over time. While this process takes a few months in some patients, it may take a year in
others. The type and length of incisions will depend on the extent of the lift and implant placement. Over time, the scars will fade and become less noticeable. Proper scar care and following your surgeon’s post-operative instructions can help optimize healing and minimize the appearance of
scars. Keep in mind that every person heals differently, your skin will play a big role in the final appearance of post-surgical scars.

Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation+lift?

The ability to breastfeed after breast surgery will depend on the technique used, and any changes made to the breast tissue and nipple-areola complex. In most cases, the breastfeeding function is preserved. If you are planning to become pregnant after breast augmentation + lift surgery, it is recommended for you to wait at least 6 months to 1 year for this. It’s important to discuss your desire to breastfeed with Dr. Baygöl before surgery, as he can provide specific information and guidance based on your individual case.

How long do the results of Breast Augmentation + Lift last?

Breast Prosthesis + Lift surgery provides long-lasting results, but it’s important to note that the aging process, weight fluctuations, and other factors can still affect the appearance of the breasts over time. The implants used in the procedure may need to be replaced or removed in the future. Maintaining a stable weight and following a healthy lifestyle can help prolong the results of the surgery.
