Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that can be completed with or without a breast lift. If a patient has too much excess skin for the implant to lift properly, a breast lift may be recommended to help achieve best looking results. Board certified plastics surgeon Dr. Marco Gonzalez provides breast augmentation and breast lift to patients in El Paso, TX, and surrounding locations.
Why Consider Having a Breast Lift?
During breast augmentation, the implants are placed into the chest and the skin is repositioned over them. Ideally, the nipple will be as centered as possible over the implant. If the patient has too much excess skin, the implant may not be able to lift the nipple into the correct position. During your consultation, your surgeon will examine you and determine whether or not you will benefit from a lift for best results.
Procedure
Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. During your surgery, small incisions are made in discrete areas, such as along the areola or under the fold of the breasts. The breast implants are then placed into the chest, either above or below the muscle. If a breast lift is also being performed, your surgeon will remove any excess skin from appropriate areas of the breasts. The areola and nipple are then repositioned and incisions are closed.
Can I tell if I need a breast lift?
If your nipple rests beneath the natural fold below your breast, you may benefit from having a breast lift. The best way to determine if you are a breast lift candidate is to schedule a consultation with your surgeon for an examination. Board certified plastics surgeon Dr. Marco Gonzalez provides breast augmentation and breast lift to patients in El Paso, TX, and surrounding locations.
