What is breast augmentation with breast lift surgery?
Breast augmentation with a breast lift is a procedure that combines two procedures into one.
A breast lift surgery, also called mastopexy, is a procedure in which a plastic surgeon raises and reshapes the breasts’ skin and tissue to give them a more raised and round appearance. The breast enlarges with implants or breast augmentation by inserting silicone or saline implants into the breast.
The breasts are not only raised but also expanded in a combination treatment
Procedure for a breast augmentation with breast lift surgery
Treatment varies according to the size and shape of your breasts, the amount of lift required, and the implants used.
A complete medical history will gather before surgery. In addition, patient education will be provided, including the surgery’s dangers, what you should do or not do before and after the surgery, and when to call the doctor.
There are a variety of breast lift techniques available, but the one used will be determined by your physical assessment and surgical goals. In general, the technique entails the following steps:
- While you’re standing, the surgeon will assess and mark you to see how high the nipple lift on the breast.
- A general anaesthetic will administer to you.
- An incision will be made around the areola and down the front of the breast by the surgeon.
- The implant will be put after your breasts have been raised and sculpted.
- If necessary, your areolas will be adjusted to the proper place on your breasts.
- Then, stitches or surgical tape will be used to close the incisions.
The lift and implant are not always done simultaneously by all surgeons. This is because the combined procedure is all in danger with the areola and nipple and wound healing. To reduce danger, new procedures for combination surgery are being developed.
If two procedures are required, the lift is performed first, followed by the implants.
