The breast lift cosmetic surgery procedure involves removal of excess breast tissue to create firmer and more youthful breasts. When loose breast skin is 
eliminated, the patient’s breasts appear tighter and lifted, which makes this procedure especially popular with women with droopy breasts.
Some patients could achieve more complete outcomes if a breast lift procedure is undertaken along with breast implants. The patient may not require excessively large implants when they undergo the breast lift and implant procedure in combination.
The breasts will be raised and will also increase in cup size when these two procedures are performed together. The breasts will acquire a more natural and youthful appearance than they would with a single surgery.
Reliable board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Kristi Hustak provides breast augmentation with lift to patients in Houston, Texas and surrounding locations in this section of the nation.
Candidates for a Combined Procedure
Through breast augmentation with lift, a plastic surgeon can offer the patient a larger breast size, perkier breasts, and more defined breast contour.
Among women who have undergone major weight loss and find that their breasts sag now, those who have experienced changes in breast shape and size with pregnancy and nursing, and those who are unhappy with the effects of aging on their breasts, breast augmentation with lift could be an appropriate plastic surgery procedure.
About Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is an effective procedure for women with larger sized breasts. This surgical procedure typically involves the placement of silicone gel or saline implants to change the breast cup size anywhere from small to substantial. The FDA has approved these implants, and the breast enhancement procedure is safely performed extensively on thousands of women every year.
About a Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery is not meant to augment the breast size. The primary goal of this procedure is to restructure skin, muscle, and breast tissue to provide the breasts with more structure and lift. Women typically experience breast sagging due to various factors such as aging, gravity, pregnancy or nursing.
Recovery Phase after a Breast Augmentation with Lift
In the first few days following the procedure, the patient may experience some discomfort and swelling. But the level of pain is usually not severe. Many patients also feel stiff and experience some bruising in the week after the surgery, and this is a normal occurrence.
If the patient experiences severe pain and bruising, she should contact the surgeon’s office at once. The time taken for the recovery will depend on various factors, such as implant size.
Scarring Post-Breast Augmentation with Lift
Breast lift surgery usually causes some level of scarring. The surgeon will explain to the patient about the incisions that are most appropriate given their breast structure, implant size, and goals. In general, there will be some type of scarring after this procedure.
But the surgeon will try to place the incisions as discreetly as possible so that any scarring remains minimal.
