What To Know About Breast Augmentation Mastopexy

What Is Breast Augmentation Mastopexy?

Breast augmentation increases the volume of your breasts with silicone or saline implants, and a breast mastopexy, also known as a breast lift, raises the position of your breasts to sit higher on your chest. When both of these procedures are performed at once, it is referred to as breast augmentation mastopexy. Combining these two procedures can create ideal results, as it can both increase the size and symmetry of your breasts while also creating lift so that your breasts are shapelier and perkier. 

What Are Some Benefits Of Breast Augmentation Mastopexy?

• One Procedure And Recovery
  Since breast augmentation mastopexy is two procedures in one, you reap the benefits of both lift and size enhancement with one surgery. This means only one period of recovery and cost savings by paying for only one surgery instead of opting for a breast augmentation and deciding to get a breast lift a few years later. 
• Reduced Scarring
  When breast augmentation and a breast lift are completed at once, it requires only one set of incisions. Your plastic surgeon will strategically position all incisions in areas where scarring can be easily covered with a bra or bathing suit, but having only one procedure means reduced incisions and fewer scars.
• Elevated Fullness And Volume
  As we age, our skin loses elasticity. This causes breasts to gradually fall and sit lower on the chest. A breast mastopexy lifts the breasts so that they no longer droop, and a breast augmentation adds volume. Together, the benefits of a breast augmentation mastopexy will help to create or restore voluminous breasts in an ideal position.

Who Is A Good Candidate For Breast Augmentation Mastopexy?

This procedure is ideal for anyone who is in good physical health, has been a stable weight for several months, is not (and does not plan to be) pregnant or breastfeeding, and wants to enhance the appearance of their breasts. Before you choose breast augmentation mastopexy, it is important to have a clear and realistic understanding of the procedure, the recovery process, and the results. Before breast augmentation mastopexy, book a consultation with your plastic surgeon to discuss all of these things and to determine what size implants you would like and what your desired final aesthetic is.

Q: What's the difference between breast augmentation and breast implants?

Q: Will I lose sensation in my breasts after breast augmentation?
A: It is true that sometimes you can temporarily lose sensation in the nipple(s) after breast surgery. But, as the nerve endings heal and the body begins to adjust to the new breasts, many people find that nipple sensation returns over time. Losing sensation permanently is very rare.
