Breast Lift Mastopexy with Implants
Breast lift mastopexy and augmentation also known as breast augmentation mastopexy or breast lift mastopexy and implants, is a common procedure for patients that are seeking to lift or raise and alter the shape of their breasts. Also known as breast augmentation mastopexy, the procedure involves a surgical breast lift mastopexy and the use of breast implants to increase size and upper-pole fullness. Breast lift mastopexy and implants is a common popular procedure, especially as more older women and women with children are undergo cosmetic procedures.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner
How does breast augmentation mastopexy work?
This combined procedure firstly involves the removal of skin. Secondly, a breast implant is inserted into the newly created pocket to create a fuller breast. Patients may opt for a breast reduction mammaplasty and augmentation mammoplasty which is a similar procedure that involves the removal of excess skin and tissue and the insertion of a breast implant. A variety of breast lift mastopexy techniques are available including the donut lift, crescent lift, lollipop lift, and anchor lift. Dr. Richardson most commonly employs the anchor lift to achieve the most control over breast shape and size and obtain the best aesthetic results for patients.
Breast lift mastopexy and implants (or breast reduction mammaplasty and implants) can be performed in either one combined surgery, or two separate surgeries. A two stage procedure means a patient would undergo a breast lift mastopexy or reduction mammaplasty as the first surgery, and then a few months down the track would have their breast augmentation mammoplasty performed. This is best suited to patients with poor skin integrity and skin that is prone to stretching. Why? Because two stage procedures allow the breasts to heal and the skin to form a strong foundation for a breast implant. In contrast, a one stage procedure places patients at greater risk of implant bottoming-out and stretch. The decision of whether to have a one or two stage surgery will be determined through consultation with Dr. Richardson.
The outcomes shown are only relevant for this patient and do not necessarily reflect the results other patients may experience, as results may vary due to many factors including the individual’s genetics, diet and exercise.
Breast Lift Mastopexy & Implants: Before & Afters
Breast Lift Mastopexy & Implant Recovery
The recovery following breast lift mastopexy and implants is roughly the same as that for a standard breast lift mastopexy. The main difference between the recovery of the two procedures is post-operative support. It’s very important during the first six weeks to six months after surgery to wear a supportive bra and support the breasts as much as possible. This is to ensure the breasts heal in the optimal position and prevent the implants dropping over time. You can read in greater detail about the recovery process here.
