Breast augmentation and breast lift are cosmetic surgery procedures designed to enhance the size, shape and firmness of female breasts. Breast augmentation procedure involves the surgical placement of saline or silicone gel based breast implants to increase the size, fullness and volume of breasts.
Breast lift surgery is aimed at raising the sagging breasts to a more youthful position and excising loose skin to provide the breasts with a tighter and smoother shape and contour. Breast augmentation may sometimes also be performed as a reconstructive plastic surgery procedure.
In some cases, the breasts may have lost volume following a pregnancy or major weight loss, or the breasts may be naturally small in size. If such a condition is accompanied by severely drooping breasts due to excess loose skin, the cosmetic surgeon may recommend a combination procedure called breast augmentation with lift. This is a comprehensive single procedure that combines surgical placement of breast implants along with skin and muscle tightening to lift and reposition the breasts, nipples and areolas to a more youthful level.
When breast augmentation surgery is performed in concert with breast lift, it offers certain inherent advantages compared to a situation involving two separate surgeries performed at different occasions. As an experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Seify explains the benefits of breast augmentation with lift to his patients in Newport Beach, Orange County, CA and surrounding communities in order to help them make an informed decision about the choice of treatment.
If the patient is a fit candidate for a combined procedure, Dr. Seify will apprise her about the various benefits of a combined surgery.
The most important benefit in case of breast augmentation with lift as a combined surgery is that the surgeon is in a position to make a comprehensive and efficient treatment plan for an optimal outcome. Secondly, since the procedure is performed as a single surgery, it requires the patient to undergo general anesthesia or IV sedation just once. The consultation and preparation prior to the surgery is required only once.
The patient has to undergo the recovery period also once, and post-surgical discomfort is not repeated twice. The combined procedure becomes more conservative because the patient is exposed to the standard risks and complications of a typical surgery only once. From a cost-effectiveness point of view as well, a combined procedure is usually more economical compared to two separate surgeries because the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia and operating room costs are incurred just once.
Breast augmentation with lift plastic surgery procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. As per the treatment plan decided in advance, the surgeon will make the pre-determined incision in a discreet manner to ensure that scars remain hidden as far as possible. Breast implant will be inserted through the incision and placed in the breast tissue in a position decided in advance in accordance with the patient’s breast anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Breast lift surgery begins with an incision that may be made around the areola or an additional incision going vertically down the breast fold and horizontally along the breast fold. Through the incision, the surgeon will lift and reshape underlying breast tissue and reduce the excess skin to achieve a tighter and firmer breast contour. Nipples and areolas may also be lifted to a more youthful position.
Dr. Seify makes sure that the patient is consulted closely to arrive at the best decisions regarding the choice of implants, the type of incision and the placement position of the implants, as well as the repositioning and tightening of breasts. Patients in and around Newport Beach and Orange County, CA can seek answers to all their concerns and queries with regard to a combined cosmetic surgery during the initial consultation.
The outcome of breast augmentation with lift can be seen immediately after the surgery. Soreness and pain the treated area will be felt for the first few days, and the surgeon may prescribe pain relieving medication. Most patients can resume regular physical activity within one to two weeks.
