In
some cases, breast lift patients desire augmentation in concert with
their mastopexy. For women who are dissatisfied with small breast size
and a sagging bustline, combining the two procedures can be a good way
to significantly enhance the figure.
Auspiciously, performing a breast lift that includes the use of implants
is relatively easy for our Pasadena breast augmentation surgeon. To
lift the breasts, excess skin from the bottom of the breasts and the
area around the areola is removed.
Then, the remaining skin is gathered to tighten and raise the breasts.
The saline or silicone gel implants of the patient’s choice are inserted,
and sterile sutures are applied for optimal healing. It should be noted
that a breast lift requires larger incisions than a breast enlargement
alone. Often, incisions extend downward from the areola. However, these
scars are generally tolerable and have been known to fade over time.
A breast augmentation with lift is usually performed on an outpatient
basis; the surgery may last for two to three hours, with the aid of
general anesthesia.
If a breast augmentation/breast lift combination is of interest to you,
please request a consultation with Dr. Taylor. He will be happy to provide
you with more information.
