Breast Lift with Augmentation

A breast lift with augmentation is the combination of the mastopexy and breast augmentation procedure. Using implants or fat from the patient's body, our skilled plastic surgeon, Dr. Brandon-Dzung Mang, can improve breast shape and size to create a beautiful outcome. Dr. Brandon-Dzung Mang is proud to perform this procedure at Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery located in Tampa, FL. During the consultation, Dr. Mang will determine the proper techniques and create a customized surgical plan for you.

Getting older, losing weight, childbirth, and more could change the look of your breasts, impacting your physical features and confidence alike. Breast augmentation with lift in Tampa, FL at Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery brings a wide variety of advantages to boost and refresh your appearance, like:

• Provides personalized factors for your specific concerns
• Relieves lowered and shifted breasts
• Boosts breast shape and volume
• Shapes and contours the breasts
• Enhances or reduces breast size
• Repositions and reshapes the nipples
• Adjusts the diameter of the areolas
• Gives you a bouncier, renewed appearance

Many patients come to Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery for breast augmentation; however, after a private assessment, they realize that a breast lift with augmentation helps them achieve their goals. Good candidates for a breast lift with augmentation tend to have excess, saggy breast tissue. Usually, breasts that have decreased in elasticity require skin removal and tightening surgery to lift the breasts higher up on the chest wall. If your nipples point downward and your breasts appear stretched, a cosmetic lift and augmentation can improve their appearance. If you are considering a breast lift with augmentation, you should be in good health and at a healthy weight.
Breast lift surgery does not significantly change the size of your breasts or round out the upper part of your breast. If you want your breasts to look fuller, consider having breast lift and breast augmentation surgery.

A breast lift takes about 2 – 4 hours and is performed with general anesthesia. The timeframe for your procedure depends on the severity of saggy tissue. Based on your needs, Dr. Mang selects from different incision types, like the inverted-T or vertical. Next, Dr. Mang makes the incision, excises the saggy tissue, and removes excess fat. The remaining skin is tightened, and the breasts are positioned higher on the chest wall so they appear healthier and younger-looking. For most patients, the size of the areola is reconstructed and reduced to appear proportionate with the new breast shape. During this part of the surgery, we can insert an implant or perform a fat transfer. Additionally, we can always perform breast augmentation at a later date.

Recovery from a breast lift with augmentation will be more extensive than a breast augmentation surgery alone. Following the surgery, you will be fitted with a support bra to assist with swelling. A tiny tube is also inserted near the location of the incision to help with excess draining that may occur. The post-surgical swelling will decrease after a few days and Dr. Mang's team will provide specific aftercare instructions to assist you during the healing process. After the first few weeks, your results start to become noticeable as your newly shaped breasts begin to heal. Once fully recovered, your breasts will look and feel natural, and you will feel beautiful and more youthful.

How much does breast augmentation with a lift cost?
Your costs for a breast augmentation with a lift will vary depending on many factors, like whether you choose implants (silicone or saline) or a fat transfer. Additionally, the complexity of the lift will help determine your cost. Dr. Mang will develop a unique surgical plan during your consultation and then estimate your costs. Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery accepts a number of payment methods, including low-interest medical financing.

Will a breast augmentation with a lift correct sagging?
The benefit of breast surgery that combines augmentation with a lift is that it improves the volume of your breasts while also addressing sag by removing excess skin. The lift portion of your surgery will also raise your natural breast tissue so your results are perky. This is important because augmenting breasts with even mild sagging can lead to a less-than-ideal outcome if a lift is not performed to correct the sag. If moderate to severe sagging is present, a lift should be performed, and then implants or a fat transfer can be added. In your consultation with Dr. Mang he will work to understand your needs and wants before performing a physical exam of your chest. Following this, he can give you his opinion on whether your goals require implants, a lift, or a combination of both.

Which incision is best for my surgery?
Incision patterns for breast surgery have become more advanced, with techniques being performed to help minimize scarring. The surgical incision that is best for you will be chosen based on the type of implants and severity of breast sag. An anchor-shaped incision pattern is most effective for correcting moderate to severe breast sag. When forming your treatment plan, Dr. Mang will explain incision options and which fits your needs. No matter what method is chosen, Dr. Mang will make careful incisions so your results look natural.

How long will my results last?
As long as you do not have massive weight fluctuations or become pregnant, the results from a breast augmentation with a lift should last for a long time. While both silicone and saline implants can last for years, they should be assessed regularly to check for issues. In the surgery, Dr. Mang places your implants using a method that reduces breast sagging. This will help your results last for longer. It's important to understand that while cosmetic breast surgery will offer beautiful results, the natural aging process still occurs. Eventually, you might start to develop loose skin and sagging again, which can be corrected with another procedure.

How bad is the scarring?
Dr. Mang performs breast augmentation with a lift so all incisions are thin and small. He does his best to place incisions where they are easily concealed, like in the breast folds or the border of the areola. If you properly care for them, the scars created by your breast surgery will, in time, lighten so they blend with your natural skin. Dr. Mang or a member of his team will discuss scar care tips you should follow after your procedure to help your incisions heal flat and smooth.
