Restoring Shape and Symmetry

Breast Augmentation with Lift

Breast Augmentation With Lift is a procedure for women who have lost the shape of their breasts due to breast feeding, weight loss, age and gravity. The surgery raises and firms the breast by removing excess skin and tightening the breast tissue to reshape and support the new contour. Patients often combine breast lift surgery with breast augmentation in order to lift and enhance the size of their breasts. Breasts that have lost their shape can negatively affect a woman’s self-confidence and self-image.

Achieving Lift and Symmetry

How is Breast Augmentation with Lift performed?

Our expert CRNAs will place the patient under IV sedation. The Breast Augmentation with Lift procedure usually takes about two hours. Incisions made based on the individual breast size and shape help to remove excess skin and tissue therefore lifting the breast. Normally the areola and nipple are placed higher than before, and the lower breast tissue and skin are brought together to tighten the lower pole of the breast. The incision lines are permanent but in most cases fade and improve significantly with time.

Some women do not need an extensive mastopexy. Hence, these women can go through a smaller procedure known as the concentric or Bennelli mastopexy. A small area of skin is removed from around the areola during the procedure. More recent techniques have been changing for minimal incisions and nipple sensation reducing surgeries.

Plastic Surgery

Safety Information

Plastic surgery is very safe when performed by plastic and reconstructive surgeons in a surgery center that is licensed, like Estetica Institute. However, each patient must be viewed as a case-by-case basis and should be cleared prior to undergoing plastic surgery, no different than any other operation. Consequently, plastic surgery in itself is safe for the majority of patients that we see. Our patients have a formal history and physical examination and a full set of laboratories done prior to general anesthesia when the surgeon considers it necessary.

During your consultation for Breast Augmentation with Lift West Palm Beach surgeons at Estetica Institute and patient coordinator will discuss the potential risks, complications and side effects of the surgery.
