A breast lift on its own can restore shape and lift your breasts into a better position. However, it cannot
increase the size of your breasts. If you are interested in both lifting and enhancing your breast size, you may want to consider a breast lift with implants.
At Balto Plastic Surgery in Miami, FL, we serve many out-of-state patients and are fluent in Spanish culture. We always focus on providing excellent care to our patients. During each consultation, we consider your goals and then create a customized plan with procedures that perfectly fit you.
A breast lift raises and reshapes sagging breasts to a more youthful position. Aging, pregnancy, and weight changes can cause the breasts to lose their firmness and position over time. Through the removal of excess skin and the tightening of the surrounding tissue, a breast lift creates a lifted and contoured appearance.
Opting for a breast lift with implants allows you to address both sagging and size concerns in a single surgery. This combined approach means you only go through one recovery period which reduces the overall downtime. Patients often find this more convenient and manageable compared to having separate surgeries.
A breast lift with implants provides a more comprehensive transformation by simultaneously lifting and augmenting the breasts. This surgery improves the shape and position of your breasts while enhancing their volume and shape. Patients seeking both lift and augmentation will see more dramatic and satisfying results with this combined procedure.
A breast lift procedure with implants can also lead to better posture and increased comfort. By lifting the breasts and adding implants for support and balance, the overall weight distribution of the chest can be improved. This adjustment helps to alleviate strain on the back and shoulders, leading to a more comfortable and upright posture.
A successful breast lift surgery can enhance the way your clothing fits, providing a better overall silhouette. With lifted and fuller breasts, you may find that bras, tops, dresses, and swimsuits fit more naturally and comfortably.
Before a breast lift with implants, you will have several implant options. These include the type of implant, such as silicone or saline, the size, and the material. You will also choose the profile, which refers to how much the implant projects from your chest, and the shape, which can be round or teardrop. Your surgeon will guide you through these choices to make sure the final result aligns with your aesthetic goals and body proportions.
During the consultation, we will discuss the types and locations of incisions for your breast lift. Common incision types include around the areola, vertically down from the areola to the breast crease, and along the breast crease itself. If implants are being added, additional incisions may be required to properly place them. The goal is to minimize visible scarring while achieving the best possible lift and augmentation results.
We will also go over the anesthesia options available for your procedure. Typically, a breast lift with implants is performed under local or general anesthesia, ensuring you are comfortable and pain-free during the surgery. Your anesthesiologist will be present to monitor you and adjust anesthesia as needed.
On the day of your breast lift surgery, you can expect the procedure to take a few hours, depending on the complexity of the lift and the type of implants used. The surgeon will make the agreed-upon incisions, lift and reshape the breast tissue, and then insert the implants. Finally, the incisions will be closed with sutures, and you will be taken to a recovery area to be monitored as you wake from anesthesia.
During breast lift recovery, you will need to pay careful attention to the healing of your incisions. You will be instructed to wear a special surgical bra that will support your new breast shape and promote healing. Initial downtime typically lasts one to two weeks. During this time, you will want to rest from strenuous activities but incorporate light movement that doesn’t involve bending or lifting. Full recovery, including resuming exercise, can take several weeks to a few months, depending on whether the implant is placed over or under the muscle.
