Breast augmentation with lifting

What is BREAST AUGMENTATION WITH LIFTING?

Augmentation and lifting of the breast is a surgical operation performed to enlarge and reshape the female breasts for cosmetic or reconstructive reasons. Breast enlargement is accomplished by inserting a breast implant either behind the breast tissue, or partially or completely under the chest muscles. Incisions are made to keep scars as inconspicuous as possible, usually under the breast, around a portion of areola, or in the armpit. Breast implants may be manufactured in a variety of shapes, sizes, and with either smooth or textured surfaces. The method of implant selection and size, along with surgical approach for inserting and positioning breast implants will depend on your preferences, your anatomy and your surgeon’s recommendation. The shape and size of the breasts prior to surgery will influence both the recommended treatment and the final results. Conditions which involve sagging of the breast or diminished skin tone (stretch marks) may require additional surgical procedures (breast lift) to reposition the nipple and areola upward and to remove loose skin. The best candidates for this type of surgery are individuals who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the appearance of their breast. In addition to realistic expectations, good health and psychological stability are important qualities for a patient considering breast augmentation with silicone implants. This surgery can be performed in conjunction with other surgeries.
