Breast Augmentation With Lift in Portland

The majority of women undergo a change in breast size and shape during their lifetime. Whether due to a gain or loss of weight, the aging process, or childbirth, you may find that your external appearance does not mirror your inner sense of self. If you have lost volume in your breasts or find your breasts are becoming flat, you may desire a way to regain volume and lift. A breast augmentation with lift in Portland will allow you to regain self-assurance in your appearance.

This two-step procedure adds volume with implants and lifts the breasts onto the chest. Restoring volume and correcting the sag in one procedure creates a fuller, more youthful contour. If you are self-conscious about your appearance or simply want to improve the way your garments fit, consider a consultation with our qualified plastic surgeon.

Benefits of Augmentation With a Lift

A breast lift by itself can reposition breasts that are sagging, but it is not meant to increase the volume. Breast augmentation can make breasts larger, though perhaps not improve the positioning. Therefore, the combination of a breast augmentation with a lift is a more comprehensive solution for most women in Portland.

This combined approach can:

• Restore volume lost due to breastfeeding or weight loss
• Improve breast symmetry
• Increase nipple height to make them look perkier
• Tighten the stretched or slack skin
• Provide more balanced results than either procedure individually

A patient interested in addressing both the shape and size of their breasts may find the combination procedure is the perfect way to fulfill their goals. Your doctor will discuss what you want to achieve during your consultation, then, with the aid of Crisalix 3D imaging, you will work together to determine the type of implant and lift procedure that will achieve your desired results.

What To Expect Before the Operation

This surgery requires general anesthesia. The operation begins with an incision, most commonly around the areola and then down toward the breast fold. With the help of the incisions, the surgeon can relocate the breast tissue, remove the excess skin, and place the implants.

Using the latest generation of cohesive gel silicone Motiva SmoothSilk® implants enables you to achieve a very natural, balanced result. Discussing implants is part of the consultation, and you and your provider will select one that is best suited for your anatomy and your way of living.

The procedure typically lasts two to three hours and is done on an outpatient basis. Your chest will likely be swollen or tight following the procedure. Patients are put in a supportive bra at the conclusion of the operation to promote healing and reduce discomfort. You should anticipate a couple of days of rest and no heavy lifting or overhead movement for a few weeks.

Most Portland patients can return to work and regular activities after breast surgery with a lift in seven to 10 days, depending on the physical demands of their occupation. Complete healing and final results will take a few months as swelling diminishes gradually and implants stabilize.

Is a Breast Augmentation With Lift the Right Choice for You?

The most suitable candidates for this procedure are people in overall good health, nonsmokers, and those with realistic expectations. It is especially beneficial for individuals who have:

• Loose or sagging breasts occurring after weight loss or childbirth
• Nipples that point downward
• Breasts that are asymmetrical in shape or size
• Loss of breast volume with aging

This process can also be an excellent confidence booster if you are self-conscious about your physique. Regaining your shape can make you feel like you again, and you may notice that sense of self-confidence in many aspects of your life.
