Breast Augmentation with Lift
Breast augmentation including a breast lift improves the overall volume and shape of the breast. This comprehensive surgery includes both the placement of breast implants and the skin tightening technique (lift), which brings the breasts to a higher location on the chest. A number of factors can cause breasts to lose volume and begin to sag — pregnancy and weight loss are among the most common. At Gary J. Rosenbaum, M.D., P.A. Plastic Surgery, led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Rosenbaum, we can address both the size and placement of our patients' breasts with this combination surgical procedure in the Miami Beach, FL area.
Reviews
Ideal Candidates
A good candidate for breast augmentation with lift surgery is typically:
- In good overall health
- At or near their goal weight
- Over 18 years old
- Healthy, with no major medical issues
- Well informed about potential risks
- Has nipples and areolas that point downward
- Is not planning to/or has finished breastfeeding
What to Expect
This surgery is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. The recovery for this combination procedure is similar to that which occurs with a singular breast lift surgery, but may require a few additional days of adjustment to the new weight of the implant. On average, a patient can expect to be able to resume normal daily activities after a week, but strenuous exercises must still be avoided until approved by Dr. Rosenbaum. This is to ensure that the surgical technique used for the lift is not compromised and to avoid internal bleeding. Optimal results will usually be noticeable after about three months when the breasts have settled into their new shape.
Anticipated Results
After swelling and bruising have both subsided, patients can expect higher, perkier breasts. As with most surgeries, the incisions will heal, fade, and lighten over time, but the scarring may never diminish entirely. While there’s a common misconception that implants will eventually need to be replaced, this is not always the case. In most situations, as long as there are no issues with the implants, they will last a very long time. It is, however, important that women with saline implants are monitored by Dr. Rosenbaum in three-year intervals, to ensure that they are not leaking and that they're functioning properly.
