Breast Augmentation Lift in Tennessee
Breast Augmentation Lift
Augmentation Mastopexy
You might experience these benefits with a combined breast augmentation lift:● You’ll end up with a more youthful and natural-looking augmentation result.● Your breasts will be larger and perkier for a more proportionate and rejuvenated contour.● The lift can help eliminate unwanted excess skin and add some support to your breasts.● You can get the benefits of both procedures while only having to go through one recovery period.● The two procedures enhance the impact and effect of each other; the lift makes the augmentation look better and vice versa.● You’ll feel more confident in how you look!
Both breast lift and breast augmentation procedures can be performed on their own. But many of our patients enjoy the added benefits from the combined procedure, especially if they want to achieve a result that enhances youthfulness and aesthetics.
Who is a Breast Lift For?
In general, breast augmentation lift is a good fit for you if you want fuller, younger-looking breasts. If you:
● Are concerned about sagging or drooping of their breasts.● Want to increase the size of your breasts but also present certain signs of aging, such as sagging or excess skin.● Want your breasts to appear more youthful.● Are healthy enough for surgery.
You may be a candidate!
If you have experienced dramatic weight loss and now have significant sagging, you may also want to consider auto augmentation mastopexy. This procedure does not involve implants but instead uses your own tissue to augment the breasts.
Breast Augmentation Lift Risks
The risks related to breast augmentation with lift surgery are the same as those associated with breast augmentation and breast lift.
The risks of surgery include but are not limited to the following:● Capsular contracture.● Infection.● Seroma (accumulation of fluid).● Breast implant complications (such as rippling and rupture).● Changes in breast and nipple sensation.
It Starts With Your Consultation
You'll talk to one of our board-certified plastic surgeons to find out if this procedure is right for you. The surgeon you speak with will be the one performing your surgery, so you can rest assured that they'll be able to respond to your questions and address your concerns with medically accurate information.
During your consultation, you’ll discuss whether you’re a good fit for breast augmentation lift. The amount of sagging will be examined to determine whether a lift is needed.
You can also try on breast implant sizers. These sizers give you — and your surgeon — a tangible idea of how it feels with implants, as well as give you an idea of what range of sizes would be most suitable for you.
Rather than committing to a specific breast implant size, our surgeons instead focus on the overall look you want to achieve. That way, the emphasis is placed on achieving the improvement you want, rather than the specific size.
Incision, Implant Type and Implant Placement
Breast augmentation lift involves three factors:
Incision Placement
During a breast augmentation lift, a keyhole incision (around the areola and down to the fold of the breast) may be employed to achieve the best possible effects. An additional horizontal incision may be placed within the breast fold if more extensive correction is necessary. Through this incision, the implant is placed.
Type of Implant
In most cases, silicone implants are the preferred choice for breast enhancement procedures, including breast augmentation lift. In certain rare cases, a saline implant may be chosen. Silicone implants feel more natural, show less rippling, have fewer visible edges, and tend to enjoy a longer lifespan than saline equivalents.
Placement of Implant
You’ll need to decide whether your implant should go above or below the pectoral muscle. Our surgeons try to go under the muscle whenever possible. Under the muscle means less rippling and a lower rate of capsular contracture. Some individuals, such as body builders, may elect to go over the muscle.

Breast Augmentation Lift FAQ
What is a breast augmentation and lift? What is augmentation mastopexy?
Breast augmentation and lift is a plastic surgery procedure that does two things: enhances the size of the breasts and makes them perkier. The procedure typically uses implants for the augmentation portion, while tissue is removed to reshape the breasts to make them perkier.
The technical term for a breast augmentation and lift is augmentation mastopexy.Is breast augmentation the same as breast implants?
Breast augmentation is the name of the surgical procedure that increases the size of the breasts. Breast implants refers to the devices that are put inside the breasts to increase their size.
What can I expect after breast augmentation and lift?
The procedure involves a recovery period during which your breasts will most likely be swollen and bruised. The implants may be a bit compressed, making your breasts look oddly shaped. All of these effects are temporary, however. In the weeks and months after the procedure, you'll notice the swelling and bruising disappear. The implants will gradually "fluff out" as tissue expansion occurs, allowing your breasts to take on a more natural ski slope shape. The initial recovery takes about 3-4 months, after which you'll be able to see the final results of your surgery.
Do you need implants with a breast lift?
It depends on your goals. If your primary goal is to have perkier breasts, then a breast lift is sufficient. However, if you want perkier breasts that are larger as well, then implants would be needed. In some cases, implants would be recommended if a significantly rounder shape is desired.
Can you get a breast lift and augmentation at the same time?
In many cases, a lift and augmentation can be performed at the same time. This would allow you to have just one recovery period.
However, sometimes it is safer and more prudent for the patient to have a staged breast lift and augmentation. This typically involves the patient to undergo the breast lift first, then the augmentation at a later date.What is the recovery time for a breast lift and augmentation?
Recovery is different for everyone but restrictions are always the same. There is no cardio exercise for first 3 weeks, no lifting heavier than 10lbs for 6 weeks. Cleared for full activity at 8 week.
