The breast implants may be saline or silicone based and placed above or below the muscle. The reason to add an implant with the implant is to achieve more upper pole fullness in those patients that do not have a enough natural breast tissue or desire a larger cup size from the get go. The procedure can be performed as a single stage or in two stages. The benefits of the added volume of the implant result are a breast shape that is generally more aesthetic in the upper pole and perkiness. The combination of a lift with implants can result in a very attractive look and dramatically change the shape of the breast overall. Breast lift with implants can also be combined with tummy tucks in a procedure called “mommy makeover” in effort to rejuvenate the body to its pre-pregnancy state.


 

Candidates for Breast Lift with Implants

Breast Lift with implant candidates are generally healthy and nonsmokers. Active smoking increases the risks of failure of wounds to heal and loss of nipple or skin. A patient that has quit smoking for at least 4 weeks prior to surgery may be a candidate. Patients that have droopy breasts or low nipple position meaning the nipple is at or below the inframmamary (IMF) crease are candidates for a lifting procedure. These patients also want more volume or a bigger breast and more upper pole fullness. Grades of drooping or ptosis are 1 to 3. With grade 3 being the most severe. There is also pseudoptosis or false ptosis. This is where the nipple is in good position but much of the breast tissue has descended down make the lower pole with full and no upper pole fullness.

Breast Lift with Implant Techniques and Scars

There are many different techniques used to lift the breast or nipple position. Some of these include periareolar lifts, vertical lifts or wise pattern lifts. These techniques result in different scar patterns. The type of lift you need depends on your surgeon and how much breast ptosis or sagging there is. This ptosis can be graded 1 to 3. Grade 1 being the lowest to 3 being large amount of ptosis. If a large amount of extra skin is present a wise pattern or anchor type scar is usually necessary to achieve the tighter envelope needed for a more aesthetic looking breast. Small lifts may require only a periareolar incision which is a scar around the nipple 360 degrees. Nipple movement can be based on different pedicale which include superior, superomedial, inferior, medial and lateral. This choice is dependant on your plastic surgeon and amount of distance the nipple may need to go up.

Reviews





Dr. Parikh has done a wonderful job on my breast augmentation! I explained to him that I was going for a natural look and that is exactly what he gave me. He recommended the anatomical shaped silicone implants which looks more natural and fits my body type, and I couldn’t be any happier! I would definitely recommend him to any one of my friends or family anytime! Thank you Dr. Parikh for helping me look fabulous!

The breast implant may be placed above or below the pecotralis muscle. After implant placement the amount of lifting of the breast will be reduced vs doing a breast lift without implants. This is because the implant will cause a certain amount of lift on its own. Projection of the implant also contributes to the an=mount of lift generated by the implant alone. Dr. Parikh is very fascile and can use any kind of implant with your lift round or shaped “ gummy bear”. At the time of your consultation the approach will be tailored to your goals and safety.
