Breast Lift/Augmentation New York City

WHY MASTOPEXY AUGMENTATION?

In youthful breasts, nipples sit at a higher position on the breasts; a simple breast augmentation procedure can accomplish the goal of creating larger and well-projected breasts. With age, however, the nipples drop and if a simple breast augmentation was done, it will result in larger droopy breasts with nipples pointing to the floor. Mastopexy augmentation is indicated for ladies after childbirth who present with deflated and droopy breasts. This procedure is designed for people who not only desire larger but also lifted breasts at the same time.

Dr. William Lao is a top plastic surgeon specializing in mastopexy augmentation in NYC.

HOW IS IT DONE?

Mastopexy augmentation is one of the most challenging breast procedures. There are many factors to calculate into the surgery including how high the nipple should be raised along with considerations of how big the breast can be augmented. Putting an implant or using one's own fat increases the volume of the breast but at the same time the breast skin envelope needs to be reduced to elevate the nipple; these are two opposing forces in surgery.

The augmentation part can be done with either autologous fat or saline/silicone implants. The breast lift portion of the procedure, however, is more variable with the individual surgeon's experience and preference. Often excess skin needs to be removed while hiding scars in inconspicuous locations. One of the additional benefits of this procedure is that the enlarged areola can be often corrected at the same time.

RESULTS AND RECOVERY

After the procedure, patients can expect to experience moderate bruising and swelling of the breasts. It’s essential to avoid performing strenuous activities like bending, heavy lifting, and fast movement. Taking time to rest and recovery will help facilitate excellent results. As you heal, the breasts will appear larger, more projected, and much more youthful.

CANDIDATES FOR MASTOPEXY AUGMENTATION?

Ideal candidates for mastopexy augmentation surgery are women who desire larger breasts and feel their current breasts sag or have lost shape and volume. Women undergoing the procedure should be in good physical health, not smoke, and have realistic expectations. Dr. Lao will perform an initial assessment of your body and ask about your medical history to determine if mastopexy augmentation is the right procedure for you.
