Breast Lift With Implants Before and After

Breast Lift With Implants Before and After

For women looking to reinvent the appearance of deflated, sagging breasts, the combination of a breast lift with implants procedure presents a remarkable opportunity.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the ins and outs of getting a breast lift with implants before and after. Beyond aesthetics alone, this procedure can rejuvenate your silhouette while also boosting your self-confidence and enhancing your journey toward radiance.

Before and After Breast Lift With Implants

What Is a Breast Lift With Implants?

A breast lift with implants, also known as augmentation mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to uplift and enhance the breasts. This sophisticated combination addresses two key concerns: sagging breasts and a loss of volume.

Whether due to aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or genetic factors, breasts can undergo changes that affect both your appearance and your self-esteem, especially as you get older. Augmentation mastopexy offers a comprehensive solution to breasts you are unhappy with. It can restore youthful contours while also enhancing volume and shape.

Benefits of Combining a Breast Lift with Implants

Opting for a breast lift with implants offers several advantages, providing a comprehensive solution for women looking to enhance both the shape and size of their breasts. This combination procedure not only restores youthful contours but also increases breast volume, creating a fuller and more balanced appearance.

By lifting the breasts and removing excess skin, a breast lift corrects sagging and restores a more natural position to the nipple. When combined with implants, this process adds volume, especially in the upper breast area, which is often lost due to factors like aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations. The result is perkier, fuller breasts that complement your natural body shape and boost your confidence.

Candidacy and Consultation

Are you an ideal candidate for a breast lift with implants? The answer lies in a personalized consultation with a skilled board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. David Sieber. Factors such as breast shape, skin elasticity, and desired outcome play a crucial role in determining candidacy. Of course, you will also need to undergo a medical examination, and we will review your medical history, before clearing you for the procedure.

During the consultation, Dr. Sieber will carefully assess your unique attributes, discuss your goals, and tailor a surgical plan that aligns with your aspirations. It’s a collaborative journey toward your ideal self. One of the biggest elements will be reviewing the various types of breast implants that are available.

Breast Implant Types

Basically, breast implants fall into two categories based on material: silicone and saline. There are also gummy bear implants. A silicone implant is made of a silicone gel both on the outside and inside, and a saline implant is made of silicone gel on the outside while it contains sterile saltwater inside.

In terms of sizing, breast implants come in all different sizes. Volume varies, but also the “footprint” or base width of each implant varies. Likewise, different implants have different projections (how far they go out from the chest). Finally, there are both teardrop shaped implants and round implants. Dr. Sieber will go over all breast implant information with you at your consultation.

The Surgical Process

The artistry of a breast lift with implants lies in the surgical process itself. This procedure is a combination of two transformative elements: a breast lift and breast augmentation (breast implant placement)t. The breast lift corrects sagging by repositioning the nipple and removing excess skin, while the implants enhance volume and shape.

Your surgeon will collaborate with you to select the most suitable implant type and size. Techniques such as incision placement, implant positioning (above or below the muscle), and the removal of excess skin are all meticulously customized to achieve your desired outcome.

Recovery and Results

The breast lift with implants recovery period varies based on individual healing, age, skin laxity, and extent of surgery. While you may experience temporary discomfort, most pain will be mitigated with pain medications prescribed by your plastic surgeon. Your body does need time to heal, though, so take it easy.
To be safe after any type of plastic surgery, your ability to perform exercises or to lift anything heavy will need to be limited. Patients must take safety very seriously to limit risk. Fortunately, you will be able to continue your normal activities relatively quickly.

Gradually, post-operative swelling and bruising will subside, revealing the beautiful results that await. Patient safety and comfort is important to us. If you have any questions at all about the healing process, please contact us by phone and you will receive the care and assistance you need. As you heal, you’ll witness your newfound silhouette taking shape, complete with perkier breasts, enhanced curves, and elevated self-confidence.

How Much Does a Breast Lift with Implants Cost?

The cost of a breast lift with implants can vary depending on several factors, such as the surgeon’s expertise, the type of implants used, the complexity of the procedure, and the geographic location of the surgery. 

On average, the cost ranges from $6,000 to $12,000, but this can fluctuate. It’s essential to consider the total cost, which may include pre-surgical consultations, anesthesia, facility fees, and post-surgery care.

During your consultation, your surgeon will provide a detailed breakdown of costs and discuss financing options to help you manage the expenses.

Tips for Comfortable Sleep During Recovery

Getting quality rest after a breast lift with implants is essential for your recovery. To ensure comfort and promote healing, consider these tips for a better night’s sleep:

  • Sleep Upright or at an Angle: For the first few weeks, it’s important to sleep in an upright position or at a slight angle to avoid putting pressure on your chest. Using pillows or a reclining bed can help support your body and maintain this position.
  • Avoid Sleeping on Your Stomach: Sleeping on your stomach should be avoided, as it can put unnecessary pressure on your breasts and disrupt the healing process. Instead, opt for sleeping on your back or, after receiving your surgeon’s approval, on your side.
  • Support Your Breasts: Use a soft, supportive bra as recommended by your surgeon to prevent discomfort and help keep your implants in place. This can also reduce swelling and assist with the healing process.
  • Pillow Support for Comfort: Place pillows under your arms or behind your back to create additional support while you sleep. This can help you stay in the optimal sleeping position without straining your chest.

What to Avoid After Breast Lift with Implants?

During your recovery from a breast lift with implants, there are a few things you should avoid to ensure the best results and smooth healing.

First, refrain from heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for at least 4-6 weeks. This is crucial to prevent strain on your chest and give your implants and incisions the time they need to heal properly. Smoking and alcohol should also be avoided, as they can hinder the healing process and increase the risk of complications.

Additionally, avoid wearing tight bras or clothing that could irritate or restrict the healing area. Instead, stick to the supportive post-surgical bra recommended by your surgeon for the most comfort and support. Sun exposure or tanning beds should also be avoided, as they can damage your healing incisions and cause noticeable scarring or pigmentation changes.

Finally, for the first few weeks, avoid sleeping on your stomach or side. These positions can put pressure on your breasts and interfere with the healing process. Always follow your surgeon’s specific instructions to ensure the best outcome and a comfortable recovery.

Dr. Sieber is attentive, responsive, and well trained. I had seen him for Botox and filler and he had done both without any pain or bruising and more importantly the results were fabulous. He has met with me on time at each appointment. He communicates what to expect, made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure, checked on my healing every day post procedure. He couldn’t be more delightful not more talented. I had seen other plastic surgeons for in office treatments over the past decade and Dr. Sieber is at the top of the list in terms of delivering the desired outcome and high quality care.*
