If your breasts are sagging and have lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss, a breast lift with implants in Mansfield is one option to improve your breast shape and self confidence. This cosmetic breast procedure not only repositions the breast higher on the chest, but also adds upper pole volume and fullness for a perkier, more youthful look. Our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Matthew H. Steele, MD, will take the time to help you pick the optimal implant size and breast lift technique to address your goals and specific anatomy.
A breast lift, also called mastopexy, is a procedure that removes extra skin and reshapes the breast tissue to lift and firm your breasts. While this can improve breast shape and position, it does not add volume or upper pole fullness. The addition of an implant at the time of a mastopexy is very effective in restoring lost volume, adding upper pole fullness, and increasing breast size, if desired.
For patients in Mansfield, a breast lift with implants is an ideal procedure for improving changes caused by pregnancy, weight changes, or loss of elasticity due to aging. Dr. Steele will ensure you get natural-looking results that enhance the shape and size of your breasts.
If you are in Mansfield and have always wanted a more youthful looking breast, a mastopexy with implants might be just what you need. This procedure can address sagging, asymmetry, and volume loss in the breasts, as well as large areolas.
During your consultation, Dr. Steele will ask about your medical history, assess your anatomy, and help determine if you are an appropriate candidate. You should be in good health, close to your ideal weight, and have realistic expectations of your results. We offer 3D consultations so that you will have a better idea of your postoperative result by simulating different implant volumes under your breast tissue.
Your surgical procedure will be performed at our accredited outpatient surgery facility and should take 2 to 3.5 hours, depending on the extent of your asymmetry and ptosis. The operation starts by administering general anesthesia for your comfort.
Dr. Steele starts by placing your implants to add upper pole volume and fullness. Once the implants are in place, the mastopexy is performed to center the breast tissue and nipple/areola complex over the implant and remove any excess skin. In certain situations, such as severe ptosis after massive weight loss, we may need to perform the lift first, and follow with the implants several months later. This will be discussed during your consultation.
Women in Mansfield who undergo a breast lift with augmentation can get back to normal everyday activities within 1 to 2 weeks, and most strenuous activities after 4-6. You can expect some mild swelling and discomfort, which will dissipate as you heal. Dr. Steele will prescribe you pain medication to manage discomfort during the healing process. With proper care, your scars will fade and improve with time.
We will provide extensive post-operative instructions detailing your activity, restrictions, medications, and use of a surgical bra. You can maintain your amazing results by following a healthy lifestyle, avoiding nicotine, and protecting yourself from the sun. Full results should become apparent as the swelling resolves after about 3 months.
