BREAST LIFT WITH BREAST AUGMENTATION


Breast Lift With Breast Augmentation (BBA W Mastopexy) Toronto, New York

Pregnancy, weight loss and hereditary factors can result in droopy, asymmetrical or deflated looking breasts. In many cases, breast augmentation or breast lift surgery performed on their own will not sufficiently restore the breasts to the plump, lifted, firmer and more youthful appearance that a patient desires. Breast lift surgery performed alone can result in a reduction of the patient’s overall cup size- for this reason the procedure is often combined with breast implants (bilateral breast augmentation) to achieve the most aesthetically pleasing and natural looking result. Dr. Born is one of the most experienced breast augmentation surgeons in the U.S and Canada and is known for ensuring the most natural and beautiful look and feel for his Breast Lift with Breast Augmentation patients.

What Is Breast Lift / Mastopexy With Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Breast augmentation using silicone or saline filled implants can help some patients achieve a fuller cup size, firmer and more symmetrical breasts, and better positioning for a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing breast contour. When this procedure is combined with a Mastopexy (breast lift), droopy breasts that have been stretched as a result of pregnancy, breast feeding, weight loss or aging can be restored to a higher, more lifted position with a firmer look and feel. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes somewhere between 2 to 3 hours to complete depending on the complexity of the case. There are many techniques for performing BBA with Mastopexy; the technique utilized by Dr. Born is determined by several factors including the patient’s breast size and shape, skin quality, amount of loose or excess skin as well as the position and size of the nipples and areolas.

Am I a Candidate for Breast Lift / Mastopexy With Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Candidates for BBA with Mastopexy range in age from 18-70 years of age as long as they are in good health and fit for surgery under general anesthetic. Women who meet the following criteria are generally good candidates for Mastopexy:

  • Sagging, low hanging breasts
  • Breast asymmetry (one breast hangs lower than the other)
  • Tubular or misshapen breasts
  • Flat or “deflated” looking breasts
  • Nipples that point downward and/or stretched, enlarged areolas
  • Wish to enhance a smaller cup size for a fuller, rounder breast contour

If you are planning to have children it is advisable to postpone Mastopexy surgery as pregnancy and breast feeding can result in stretching of the skin and breast tissues.
