Breast augmentation with lift (mastopexy)
After childbirth, the breast shape and size can transform in unfavorable ways, causing self-consciousness for the client. Aging can also play a role in distorting the chest’s appearance, causing the breasts to sag and droop and the nipples to descend beneath the breast creases. In order to combat both volume loss and breast ptosis, a combination approach is often the recommended path forward. Breast augmentation with lift (mastopexy) can rejuvenate the upper body from all angles, leaving behind breast mounds that are shapely, youthful, and aesthetically pleasing. Dr. Sadrian performs Breast Augmentation With Lift in San Diego for patients who desire a naturally fuller bust and the positive self-image that goes with it.
What is breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to enhance the chest with rounder, fuller breast mounds. It can create a more proportionate, feminine physique, improve wardrobe options, and provide a greater sense of satisfaction with your appearance. The surgery is performed with either breast implants (saline, silicone, or gummy bear) or fat transfer techniques. Results are tailored to your unique body frame, aesthetic considerations, and lifestyle. Dr. Sadrian strives for a natural look that is elegant, balanced, and beautiful.
Breast lift surgery helps to counter breast ptosis (sagging) that may occur after pregnancy or with the aging process. Low-hanging, downward-facing nipples can also be repositioned during mastopexy. After a Breast Augmentation With Lift San Diego & La Jolla patients will notice that their chest will appear perkier and more youthful, and the entire silhouette is revitalized.
Dr. Sadrian will help you to determine the best type of implants for you. Saline implants are filled with a harmless saltwater solution and can be inserted through an armpit incision unfilled, minimizing postoperative scarring. Silicone implants are known for their authentic look and feel and come in multiple sizes, shapes, and textures to suit your tastes. Gummy bear implants are considered “form-stable” and come in a tear-drop shape that many women find to be highly organic-looking.
For those women who desire a more modest increase in cup size and who don’t wish to use implants, Dr. Sadrian can perform an augmentation procedure using your own body fat. This approach has the added benefit of contouring and slimming the donor area. Fat is taken from the belly, thighs, or hips and is then purified and sterilized, preparing it for transfer. Dr. Sadrian strategically injects the harvested fat into the chest area to achieve a subtle yet pleasing enhancement. Patients who choose fat transfer breast augmentation don’t have to worry about replacing their implants down the line, and they can relax knowing that complications are unlikely.
During your San Diego Breast Augmentation With Lift procedure, Dr. Sadrian can place your incisions around the nipples with scars well-hidden in the darker pigments of the areolas. The other options are beneath the breasts in the inframammary folds, or within the armpits. Each option has advantages and disadvantages, which Dr. Sadrian will explain in depth during your private consultation. In each case, he will do his best to minimize your scarring and place the incisions where they are least visible. For the inframammary incisions, scars are covered by the bra or bikini line, while for the armpit incisions, scars are inconspicuous within the skin folds.
There are two choices for implant placement: below or above the pectoralis chest muscles. There are advantages and disadvantages to each choice that Dr. Sadrian will explain in person. If the implants are placed beneath the chest muscles, it can reduce the risk of complications such as capsular contracture. Implants placed above the pec muscles can be less painful for the patient and can improve the position of the nipples.
A good candidate for breast augmentation with lift will be unhappy with both the size of their breasts and the breast angle. Those with drooping, deflated breasts and downturned nipples will benefit from a dual approach that amplifies volume and restores a perky, youthful projection.
Dr. Sadrian requires that clients pursuing surgery are mentally and physically healthy, that they don’t smoke, and that they are free from any major medical concerns that might interfere with their treatment process. Additionally, it’s important that clients are pursuing Breast Augmentation With Lift for themselves and not because they are yielding to external pressures. They should have realistic expectations based on their private consultation with Dr. Sadrian and his team.
