BREAST AUGMENTATION WITH BREAST LIFT FAQ’S
Are there any specific risks to breast augmentation with a breast lift (augmentation mastopexy)?
The short answer is yes. An augmentation mastopexy combines two very different breast surgeries into one combined procedure which increases the complexity and thus the risk for complications. General anesthesia is usually required for this aesthetic plastic surgery procedure. In addition to the individual risks involved with a breast augmentation and a breast lift surgery, augmentation mastopexy has a higher revision rate. This means that there is a greater chance you may need or want a second “touch-up” surgery to improve the result. Although only a minority of women will undergo a second revision surgery, if you were to instead separate the surgeries (for example, perform a breast lift, wait 4-6 months, and then perform a breast augmentation) you would have a 100% chance of needing two surgeries. Also, when separating, or staging, the two procedures, 100% of patients will incur greater overall financial cost, and will have to undergo two postoperative recovery periods with activity restrictions. As a top rated breast implant specialist in San Antonio, Dr. Albright may still recommend separating the procedures for you, if your risk of having a bad result is too high. Still not sure? Come in today to get your questions answered and feel confident with your breast rejuvenation plan.
What is the right size breast implant for my body with a breast augmentation with breast lift?
A great question, as this will also help determine what skin excision pattern (scar pattern) is needed. The issues with implants are inherently similar to those of breast augmentation alone (please see the breast augmentation surgery tab above for more information on implants). Whereas with augmentation alone, augmentation mastopexy more commonly places the implant completely under the pectoralis muscle when possible, as the implant will be better supported by the muscle itself instead of the skin. Dr. Albright will have a more specific plan after a detailed breast exam and discussion of your surgical goals. This is the reason why he owns the best plastic surgery center in San Antonio.
Do I need a breast augmentation with or without a breast lift?
This is the first question to answer when considering a breast augmentation with or without a breast lift. Dr. Albright will assess your breast tissue, the skin of the breast and the position of the nipple to help you decide between these procedures. The ideal breast augmentation candidate is a patient that desires more breast volume and does not have much breast sagging. If you desire to wear a larger cup size, then more volume will be needed. If you are happy with the volume of breast tissue in a bra, but not with the droopiness of the breast out of clothing, then a breast lift is best. Do you want more volume and need to fix a little breast droop? Typically, if the nipple position is below the fold of the breast while standing in front of a mirror and you want larger breasts, a lift with an implant (augmentation mastopexy) procedure will likely be needed. Never fear, Dr. Albright is an expert in all of these procedures and he is considered one of the best breast augmentation plastic surgeons in San Antonio, TX.
What about nipple sensation after breast augmentation with breast lift (augmentation mastopexy)?
Another deterrent for women seeking to reclaim their more youthful breasts is the possibility of compromising sensation to the nipples. For women whose nipple sensation is an integral part of their erogenous experience, breast lift surgery with incisions placed around the areola (darker skin around the nipple) may not be worth the risk of decreased sensation. However, the risk of losing sensation in BOTH nipples is extremely low. Furthermore, in Dr Albright’s experience (one of the best surgeons in Texas for breast augmentation) most women are willing to trade a small risk of decreased sensation in one nipple for much more attractive breast shape when naked.
Breast implants with breast lift after bariatric surgery or massive weight loss... What's right for me?
Congratulations on your weight loss! It is a difficult thing to achieve and you should be proud! Now that you have achieved a stable weight near your ideal or goal weight, it may be time to rejuvenate your breasts. For many women in this situation, it is easy to become disheartened. They say "I always had big breasts, but, now after weight loss, I have deflated breasts that do not match my figure." Well these patients may be ideal candidates for an augmentation mastopexy. Typically to remove excess skin, an anchor type scar is needed. An implant will then provide the missing volume.
Differences to consider for the massive weight loss patient are considering staging the procedure; doing a lift first then recovering from surgery and allowing the breast to settle before performing a breast augmentation later. Additionally, excess skin and residual fullness may exist around the sides of the breast toward the back (bra line). This may require additional surgery including excision (leaving a scar) and/or liposuction. Although this does increase the surgery time, complication risk, and overall cost, it may be necessary to give you the results you are looking for. Finally and perhaps most critically, where will breast rejuvenation fit in with your other cosmetic surgery goals (belly, arms, thighs, face, etc)? This requires a thorough assessment and discussion of your goals to fully answer. During your consultation for breast augmentation surgery, Dr. Albright will help you come up with a plan that works for you, your goals and your budget.
