Candidates
Sagging of the breasts and loss of volume often occur at the same time, especially after childbirth, nursing, and significant weight loss. For other women, the natural aging process takes a toll on the bust line. You may be a good candidate for a breast lift with implants if you wish to not only enhance the size of your breasts, but also address:
- Flattened or deflated-looking breasts
- One breast that sits lower than the other, or breasts that do not match in size
- Areolas that have stretched out of proportion to your breasts
- Downward pointing nipples, or nipples that fall below the breast crease
The best candidates are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the surgery. Dr. Boudreaux and Dr. Claiborne will conduct an in-depth consultation to determine the best way to meet your goals.
The Procedure
Before surgery, Dr. Boudreaux and Dr. Claiborne will customize your treatment plan by helping you choose the right type and size of breast implants, the right placement method, and other options. You will be given anesthesia to maintain your comfort throughout surgery. Dr. Boudreaux and Dr. Claiborne will remove excess tissue and reshape your areolas, if necessary. They will then insert the implants and close the incisions to create your enhanced contours.
Recovery
You should expect some temporary soreness after your procedure, and Dr. Boudreaux and Dr. Claiborne can help you manage any discomfort with medication. You will be advised to wear a compression garment, which will reduce swelling and promote healing, for several weeks while you recover. You should plan to minimize physical activity at first, but most patients can resume light activity in approximately one week. Dr. Boudreaux and Dr. Claiborne will give you specific instructions to help make your recovery as quick and comfortable as possible.
Risks
A breast lift with implants can involve risks such as bleeding, infection, and changes in breast sensation. To minimize risks and ensure that you receive the best quality care, you should select a reputable plastic surgeon with extensive experience.
Benefits of Combining Procedures
Having a breast lift and breast augmentation performed simultaneously can provide dramatic results that cannot be achieved with a single procedure. Many women find that the results of a breast lift with implants gives them significantly boosted confidence in their personal and professional lives. This combination procedure can also consolidate certain costs and recovery time.
