Breast Lift with Implants Procedure Details
The combination breast augmentation and mastopexy procedure is performed using methods similar to a standard breast lift surgery. The main difference is that an implant is inserted into the breast beneath the pectoral muscle or mammary gland during the procedure.
Before the surgery, the doctor will discuss the various incision options that can be made. The three most common incision types are two rings around the areola in a doughnut shape, around the areola and down to the breast crease in a lollipop shape and the lollipop with an additional half-moon incision along the breast crease, in an anchor shape. The anchor shape is the standard method of incision used for breast lifts, but the type of incision used will depend on your breast shape and size.
The surgeon will begin by making an incision and removing the excess skin that causes the breasts to sag. The implants will then be inserted and the incision closed.
Complications of Breast Lift with Implants
The same complications may occur in joint breast lift and augmentations that may occur in these procedures performed separately. As in separate breast implant and breast lift surgeries, complications are rare and usually minimal. Possible complications include capsular contracture, swelling and pain, infection around the implant, a change in nipple sensation, decreased milk production and rupture or leakage of the implant. Scars are a part of the breast augmentation and breast lift process, but they tend to heal extremely well. Any scars that remain are usually small and inconspicuous.
What Types of Breast Implants Are Available?
Selecting the right breast implants is crucial for achieving your desired outcome with breast lift with implants. Here’s an overview of the implant types available:
Silicone Gel Implants provide a natural feel, closely mimicking breast tissue with their cohesive silicone gel. They’re popular for their durability and realistic texture, offering a variety of shapes and sizes to suit individual preferences.
Saline Implants are filled with sterile salt water, allowing for adjustable volume that can be tailored during the procedure. These implants are valued for their safety feature; the body can absorb the saline harmlessly in case of a leak, making detection straightforward.
“Gummy Bear” Implants stand out for their form-stable design, maintaining shape even if the shell is compromised. They offer a natural slope and reduced leakage risk and are crafted in teardrop shapes for a subtle enhancement.
How Much Does Breast Augmentation with Breast Lift Cost?
The cost of a breast lift with implants varies depending on several factors, including the type of implants chosen and the techniques necessary to elevate the breasts. Funt Aesthetics is committed to providing transparent pricing and will discuss all costs and payment options during your consultation. Financing options are available to ensure that your desired procedure fits within your budget.
What Is Mastopexy with Breast Implants Recovery Like?
- Initial Recovery: The first few days post-surgery are crucial for rest. You may experience soreness and swelling, which can be managed with pain medication. You will wear a supportive surgical compression bra to aid healing and comfort.
- Returning to Daily Activities: Most patients can resume light activities within a week and feel well enough to return to work after two weeks. Full recovery and engagement in more strenuous activities, including exercise, can usually commence after six weeks.
- Ongoing Care and Monitoring: Follow-up appointments with Dr. Funt are essential to monitor your healing process and ensure your incisions are healing properly. It’s also an opportunity to address any concerns and discuss the progression of your results, which will continue to improve as swelling decreases over the following months.
How Soon Can You Enjoy Your Breast Lift with Breast Augmentation Results?
Initial improvements are noticeable immediately after surgery, with final results typically emerging as swelling subsides and the breasts settle into their new shape over the next several months. Dr. Funt’s expertise ensures results that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also natural looking and harmonious with your body proportions.
