Breast Augmentation

Breast lift surgery corrects ptosis – sagging breast tissue that can produce a droopy and unappealing breast position. It can also be used to improve nipple placement, particularly in cases where ptosis has resulted in irregular nipple positioning.

Breast implants are designed to add volume to the chest, improve breast symmetry, and generally enhance the bust. Some older breast implant models may produce these results for 10 or more years. Newer options, such as form-stable implants, may retain their shape and feel even longer, but no breast implant is meant to last forever.

Mommy makeover surgery focuses on the areas of the body that have been impacted by factors including aging, pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing. Because every woman responds differently to these things, every mommy makeover is unique.

Am I a good candidate for breast implants?

The best candidates for breast implants are women who are:

The Mayo Clinic reports that around 20% of women have their breast implants removed within 10 years, though implants are designed to last for up to 20.  Newer implants, such as the cohesive gel (gummy bear) implant, may last longer and it is entirely possible for even older models to last for a lifetime, but by and large, you can expect to have to replace breast implants every few decades.

New Year, new you? Cliché, sure, but succinct – and a clear rallying cry for men and women who have decided it’s time to move in a different direction.

Pregnancy and the Appearance of the Breasts

Breast augmentation with implants will require an incision. Common breast augmentation incision options include around the nipple, in the crease between breast and chest, in the armpit, or in the belly button, all areas with features, such as skin tone variation or natural folds, which allow the incisions to be obscured.

Initial recovery from breast augmentation can take weeks. In some cases, work, social and/or family obligations have to be placed on hold for more than a month while the body recovers from breast enlargement.
