Breast Lift with Implants (Augmentation Mastopexy) Gold Coast

Breast lift and implants are two popular cosmetic procedures aimed at lifting and increasing the breasts. Whether you’re considering a breast lift to address excess breast skin or a breast augmentation (breast implants) to increase size, it’s important to understand the options available. Women who are wanting to change the shape, size, or position of their breasts may consider these options to achieve a preferred result. It’s important to understand the different approaches involved in each procedure and what you can expect from the surgery recovery process. With the correct information, you can make an informed decision. However, it’s crucial to keep in mind that all cosmetic surgery comes with risks and benefits, so thorough research and consultation with a qualified specialist plastic surgeon is important.

What is Breast Lift with Implants?

Breast lift with implants also known as breast augmentation mastopexy is a cosmetic procedure that combines a breast lift and breast augmentation to lift and increase the breasts. This procedure was developed for women who want to manage breast ptosis while also increasing their breast volume and size. The procedure involves removing excess skin, shaping the breasts, and inserting breast implants to increase breast volume. This combination of the two procedures provides a comprehensive surgery plan for women who want to improve both the height and size of their breasts. It is important to understand that each woman’s surgery goals are unique, and a thorough consultation with a qualified specialist plastic surgeon is essential to determine if breast lift with implants surgery is suitable for you.

“Breast lift with implants is a surgery option to get a firmer, fuller upper pole of the breast with the nipple in a higher position.”

Different Techniques for Augmentation Mastopexy (Breast Lift with Implants)

Breast lift with breast implant surgery can be performed using various techniques, each with its advantages. The choice of technique will depend on the extent of breast ptosis, the preferred surgery outcome, and the surgeon’s expertise. The most common techniques include the traditional lift, minimal incision lift, lollipop lift, and anchor lift. During a surgery consultation with a qualified specialist plastic surgeon, you can discuss the best approach for your unique case and determine the techniques that will best help you achieve your surgery goals.

Post-Surgery Care and Recovery Process

Breast lift and augmentation recovery typically takes several weeks, with full recovery often taking several months. During this time, it is vital to follow the instructions provided by your surgeon and attend all follow-up consultations. Some common aftercare measures include wearing a support bra, avoiding physical activity and heavy lifting, taking prescribed medications, and attending scheduled follow-up appointments. It is also important to be patient and understand that recovery can be a slow process. Swelling and bruising are side effects and should gradually subside over time. Pain and discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Your surgeon will also closely monitor your recovery and provide personalised instructions based on your individual requirements and recovery progress.
