As women age, their breasts may lose elasticity and begin to sag, especially after weight fluctuations. A breast lift with implant combines two procedures into one: lifting and augmentation. The breast lift (mastopexy) raises and reshapes the breast tissue and skin for a firmer, rounder appearance, while implants add fullness and volume.
In this procedure, silicone or saline implants are placed either behind the chest muscles or behind the breast tissue. This gives the breasts a fuller, lifted look, enhancing both size and shape. The procedure is customized based on breast size and shape, and the preferred type of implant.
After a comprehensive medical evaluation, you’ll discuss risks and instructions for the pre- and post-operative periods with your doctor. There are different techniques for breast lifting, and the surgeon will choose the appropriate method based on your goals.
After surgery, you’ll receive instructions on breast care, medication, activities to avoid, and follow-up appointments.
