What are the Benefits of Combining Breast Augmentation and Mastopexy?
When breast augmentation and mastopexy are performed together, they offer the following combined benefits:
Comprehensive Enhancement:
Simultaneously increases volume and improves breast shape and position, providing a complete makeover.
Tailored Results:
Procedures can be customized to meet individual aesthetic goals, balancing size increase with a lift for the best possible outcome.
Single Recovery Period:
Undergoing both procedures at once means only one surgical and recovery period, which is often more convenient for patients.
Youthful Contour:
Restores youthful breast contours, addressing both deflation and sagging in one procedure.
Harmonious Aesthetic:
Achieves a balanced and proportionate look, enhancing overall body silhouette.
Who are the Best Candidates for a Combined Breast Augmentation and Mastopexy?
Dual Needs:
Post-Pregnancy/Breastfeeding:
Those whose breasts have lost volume and firmness after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Significant Weight Loss:
Individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight, resulting in both deflated and sagging breasts.
Asymmetry and Sagging:
Candidates with both asymmetry and sagging issues who desire comprehensive breast enhancement.
Good Overall Health:
Being in good health with no medical conditions that could impair healing.
Non-Smokers:
Ideally, non-smokers or those willing to stop smoking around the time of the surgery.
Realistic Expectations:
Having realistic expectations about the outcomes and understanding the recovery process.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR ALL CANDIDATES
AGE:
Typically, candidates should be at least 18 years old for saline implants and 22 for silicone implants, but other factors can influence candidacy.
EMOTIONAL MATURITY:
Candidates should be emotionally mature and seeking the surgery for themselves, not to meet someone else’s expectations.
INFORMED DECISION:
They should be well-informed about the procedures, including risks, benefits, and recovery.
