A «breast lift with implant» refers to a cosmetic surgery procedure where a surgeon combines a breast lift (mastopexy) with breast augmentation (implant placement), essentially lifting sagging breasts while simultaneously adding volume to achieve a fuller, more youthful appearance by repositioning the nipple and removing excess skin while inserting breast implants.
Key points about a breast lift with implant:
- Combined benefits: This procedure addresses both sagging breasts and a desire for increased breast size, providing a more comprehensive aesthetic improvement.
- Ideal candidate: Women who experience significant breast sagging due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations and want to both lift and enhance their breasts.
- Surgical process: The surgeon typically performs the implant placement first, then proceeds with the breast lift by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple and areola to achieve the desired shape and elevation.
Considerations:
Consultation is key: Discuss your goals and expectations with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine if this procedure is right for you.
Recovery time: Expect some discomfort, swelling, and bruising post-surgery, with a gradual return to normal activities over several weeks.
