When it comes to restoring shape, volume, and symmetry, many women consider breast lift and augmentation as a combined solution to achieve their goals. These procedures don’t just enhance physical appearance—they can also boost confidence and emotional well-being. At Dr. Eva’s, we specialize in breast surgery techniques that deliver natural-looking, beautiful results. By combining breast lift and augmentation in a single, tailored procedure, we help our patients enjoy both youthful lift and fuller enhancement while maintaining balance and harmony with their body’s proportions.
Understanding Breast Lift and Augmentation
Breast lift and augmentation are two different procedures that complement each other when performed together. A breast lift, or mastopexy, addresses sagging by raising and reshaping the breasts, while augmentation adds volume and improves fullness through implants. By combining the two, we can create results that are both youthful and proportionate.
What is Breast Lift?
A breast lift reshapes breast tissue and removes excess skin, raising the breasts to a more youthful position. It’s ideal for women whose breasts have changed due to aging, pregnancy, or weight loss. The goal is to restore firmness and improve the overall profile.
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation focuses on enhancing size and shape with implants. This is especially beneficial for correcting asymmetry, restoring volume, or achieving a desired silhouette. With a variety of implant types and sizes available, we can fully customize your results.
Benefits of Combining Breast Lift and Augmentation
Combining breast lift and augmentation offers several advantages, particularly for those looking to address both sagging and volume loss. Here are some key benefits:
- Comprehensive Transformation: By addressing both lift and volume in a single surgery, patients can achieve a more balanced and youthful appearance.
- Single Recovery Period: Undergoing a combined procedure means only one recovery period, which can be more convenient for those with busy lifestyles.
- Customized Results: The combination of procedures allows for tailored results that align with the patient’s aesthetic goals.
- Enhanced Confidence: Achieving the desired breast shape and size can significantly boost self-esteem and body image.
The Consultation Process with Dr. Eva
At Dr. Eva’s clinic, we emphasize a personalized consultation to guide you through the process. We review your medical history, perform a detailed exam, and discuss implant and lift options tailored to your anatomy and goals. This step ensures realistic expectations and helps you feel confident in your decision.
Key Aspects of the Consultation
- Medical History Review: We will review your medical history to identify any potential risks or contraindications.
- Physical Examination: Dr. Eva will conduct a detailed examination to assess the current state of your breasts and determine the appropriate surgical plan.
- Discussion of Options: We will explore different implant types, sizes, and surgical techniques to find the best fit for your desired outcome.
- Q&A Session: This is an opportunity for you to ask questions and address any concerns you may have about the procedures.
What to Expect During the Procedure
The breast lift and augmentation procedure typically takes several hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Here’s a brief overview of what you can expect:
Surgical Steps
The procedure begins with the breast lift, where Dr. Eva will make incisions to remove excess skin and lift the breast tissue. The type of incision will depend on the degree of sagging and the desired outcome.
Once the lift is complete, the augmentation phase begins. Implants are carefully placed either above or below the chest muscle, depending on the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals. The incisions are then closed with sutures, and the breasts are bandaged to support healing.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from a combined breast lift and augmentation requires patience and adherence to post-operative care instructions. Here are some tips for a smooth recovery:
- Rest and Relaxation: Allow your body ample time to heal by avoiding strenuous activities for several weeks.
- Follow-Up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with Dr. Eva to monitor your progress and address any concerns.
- Wear Supportive Garments: Wearing a surgical bra or compression garment can help minimize swelling and support healing.
- Proper Nutrition: Maintain a healthy diet to support your body’s recovery process.
Risks and Considerations
As with any surgical procedure, breast lift and augmentation come with potential risks. It’s important to be aware of these and discuss them with Dr. Eva during your consultation.
Potential Risks
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Scarring
- Implant rupture or leakage
- Changes in nipple or breast sensation
