Breast Augmentation Mastopexy in Kelowna
A breast lift with augmentation, or augmentation mastopexy, corrects sagging of the breasts while creating rounder, fuller breasts.
Lift and fullness in one procedure
A breast lift elevates the nipple and areola to a more youthful position, and the skin and breast tissue are tightened to correct sagging. An implant is then added to enhance the volume of the breasts. The two parts of this surgery are performed at the same time.
Breast Augmentation Mastopexy: the procedure and recovery
The procedure
Incisions are generally made around the areola, down the lower pole of the breast and often through the crease. The extent of the incisions is unique to each case, and Dr. Peterson will suggest the best option based on your body type and desired breast shape and size.
Some incision lines are hidden within the natural folds of the breast while others remain visible and fade with time. Layered sutures create and support the new breast contours. The procedure requires general anaesthesia and is performed on a day care basis.
Recovery
Your incisions will be covered by dressings, and you will wear a support bra to reduce swelling and promote healing. You will be given detailed instructions on caring for your breasts as they heal, medications, and when to see Dr. Peterson again.
Before undergoing any cosmetic surgical procedure, consult with your physician and your plastic surgeon to determine if cosmetic surgery is an appropriate choice for you.
