As a person ages, they might want to make alterations in the size or shape of the breasts or lift sagging breasts to give them a younger and more rejuvenated look. These two procedures are known as breast augmentation and a breast lift, and they are normally performed separately by a surgeon. However, there are some patients who make the decision to have breast enhancement surgery that combines the two breast surgeries in order to gain the best results possible from both plastic surgery procedures. Let’s start our examination of having breast augmentation and breast lift surgery at the same time with an overview of combining the procedures from Cosmetic Town TV:
Breast augmentation surgery is a procedure that increases the size of the breasts and also gives an improvement to the shape and contour of the breasts. Breast augmentation can be performed by placing breast implants in the body or by fat transfer to the breasts.
A breast lift is a procedure that lifts breasts that are drooping or saggy, so they gain a lifted and more youthful look and position on the body.
The combination of the two procedures offers multiple benefits to the breasts such as an enhanced look and shape to the breasts and an increase in the volume of the breasts. In addition, the patient will enjoy a greater amount of self-confidence and an improved self-image when it comes to their breasts and their body. Let’s discuss these benefits in more detail below:
It is also ideal to perform them at the same time as breast augmentation surgery is able to give the breasts an enhanced size, but the procedure is not able to improve issues such as an asymmetrical look to the breasts, sagging or droopy breasts, and a stretched or elongated look to the nipples. A breast lift is able to address these issues with the breasts through the removal of any excess skin as well as tightening the breast tissue while also repositioning both the nipple and the areola.
On the other hand, a breast lift is not able to make a substantial change or alteration to the size of the breasts. A breast lift needs to be combined with breast augmentation to achieve the goal of augmenting the breasts along with obtaining a look to the breasts that is fuller and more youthful in appearance. In addition, patients will not require as much additional volume to be added to the breast implants if they combine the surgery with breast augmentation. The overall look of the breasts will show a general improvement as opposed to the look of the breasts if the patient only has one of the procedures performed since the combination of surgeries both enlarges and lifts the breasts at the same time.
It should be noted that patients who already have breast implants in the body might not need a breast lift performed at the same time as the original breast augmentation surgery. They might decide to have a breast lift as they age, and this can be performed as long as the existing breast implants are in good shape. If the breast implants have any issues that might have a negative impact on the breast lift, the patient needs to discuss having breast implant replacement surgery at the same time as the breast lift.
