• Combination of surgeries is just as safe as a single surgery procedure
• Less scarring and removal of skin.
• Implants help fill out the breasts and improve their overall appearance so that less lifting may be needed.
• Combining surgeries can reduce overall recovery time.
• Combining surgeries is less expensive than having both surgeries separately.

Various factors come into play when making this decision, the three most important to consider are breast volume, nipple position, and breast size.
It is a combination of these specific aesthetic goals that should guide your direction.

A combination of breast lift & breast implants surgery is usually done under general anesthesia, either in a hospital or outpatient surgical facility. It typically lasts two to five hours.

The procedure involves the surgical placement of saline, gel, or silicone prosthetics. The placement options are sub-glandular, implants are placed over the pectoral muscle and behind the breast tissue. And sub-muscular, where implants are placed behind the pectoral muscle.

The specific incision technique will depend on the choices of implant and placement you and your plastic surgeon have decided on.

After making the incision He or she will separate your breast tissue from your muscles and connective tissue, this creates a pocket either behind or in front of the pectoral muscle. The surgeon will insert the implant into this pocket and center it behind your nipple, then according to aesthetic preferences breasts will be lifted & reshaped in order to complete the desired results. The surgeon will then proceed to close the incision with stitches(suture) and bandage it with skin adhesive and surgical tape.

Following your lift & breast augmentation surgery you can expect to experience mild to moderate bruising, swelling, and discomfort for which you will be given prescription pain medication as well as antibiotics to reduce your risk of infection.

For the first days or weeks after surgery your breast will probably feel tender and sensitive, an elastic compression bra will be recommended to protect your breasts.

Plan to take a week off from work to rest and recuperate.

You’ll need to limit your physical activity for two to four weeks in order to allow your body enough time to heal.

Although you’ll see results immediately remember it will take some time for the swelling to completely subside.

Incision scarring will fade over time until it is barely visible.

Breast lift & augmentation surgery is a safe, predictable procedure. As with any surgery, there are risks and complications such as infection, breast pain, changes in breast and nipple sensation, implant leakage or rupture and scar tissue. While complications are uncommon, they should be discussed with your surgeon during your consultation process.

The ideal candidate is a realistic woman who is doing the procedure for herself and no one else. If you have no significant medical problems and would like to lift and enhance the size and shape of your breasts, you may be a good candidate for this surgery.

The results of a combination lift & augmentation breast surgery will be long-lasting. Your new lifted and enhanced natural, youthful, looking breasts will heighten your body image, boost your self-esteem, and improve your quality of life.
