A breast lift, or mastopexy, focuses on elevating and reshaping sagging breasts, which can occur due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, or gravity. By removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue, we create a youthful and uplifted breast contour. We also reposition the nipple and areola to an aesthetically pleasing position, enhancing the overall results.
Simultaneously, the augmentation process uses high-quality breast implants to increase size and improve shape. Whether you prefer saline or silicone gel implants, we offer a variety of shapes, sizes, and textures to match your personal style and body contour. Our board-certified cosmetic surgeon works closely with you to select the ideal implant type and size, ensuring your aesthetic goals are met.
Combining a breast lift with augmentation at Shine Cosmetic Surgery provides the dual benefit of correcting sagging while adding volume and fullness. This procedure is ideal for women who have experienced volume loss after pregnancy or significant weight loss, or for those with naturally small, sagging breasts seeking a fuller, more youthful look.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia at our state-of-the-art facility and typically takes a few hours. Post-operatively, we guide you through a recovery plan that includes avoiding strenuous activities for several weeks. Initial swelling and bruising are normal, eventually giving way to the beautiful, final results over a few months.
One of the common concerns our patients have is about the longevity of the results. The duration for which the effects last can vary based on individual factors such as the type of implants chosen, surgical technique, body type, lifestyle, and the natural aging process. We prioritize using the latest techniques and high-quality implants to provide optimal and lasting results. While breast augmentations are not lifetime procedures, many patients enjoy their enhanced appearance for 10 to 15 years, and sometimes even longer, without needing additional procedures.
The lift component of the surgery effectively addresses sagging and reshaping. To maximize the longevity of your results, we emphasize the importance of maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. Although gravity and aging will continue to affect breast tissue over time, our skilled surgeon works to achieve results that can stand the test of time.
Regular follow-up appointments are crucial for monitoring the condition of your implants and the overall appearance of your breasts. Our board-certified cosmetic surgeon is dedicated to ensuring your long-term satisfaction and is ready to discuss any future procedures that may be necessary to maintain your desired look.
Typically, breast lift procedures range from $4,000 to $8,000. This estimate includes the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, operating room facilities, and necessary post-operative care, ensuring you receive comprehensive and high-quality treatment. Our board-certified cosmetic surgeon brings a wealth of expertise and personalized care to each procedure, ensuring that every patient receives a tailored approach that meets their unique aesthetic goals.
We recognize that costs can be a concern, especially in urban settings like ours, where prices might be higher due to the demand for top-tier surgical care. To make the procedure more accessible, we offer flexible financing options, allowing you to achieve your desired results without financial strain.
During your initial consultation, our experienced team will provide a detailed, personalized quote and discuss all aspects of the breast lift procedure, including your expectations and any potential risks. We also emphasize that most insurance companies do not cover cosmetic procedures unless deemed medically necessary, so it’s important to plan accordingly.
Immediately following your procedure, you may notice some swelling and bruising, which is completely normal and should be expected. This initial phase can obscure the early results, but rest assured, these effects typically begin to subside in the first few weeks. At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, we provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions to help manage these common symptoms and promote a smooth recovery.
By around the six-week mark, most of our patients observe a significant reduction in swelling, revealing a clearer view of their enhanced contours. During this time, your breast tissues will be settling into their new position, and initial scars will start their healing process. Full results, however, generally take three to six months to manifest as your body continues to adjust.
Our experienced team at Shine Cosmetic Surgery emphasizes the importance of patience and adherence to post-operative guidelines. Scarring will continue to fade over time, often taking a year or more to significantly lighten. We encourage open communication with our team throughout your recovery to address any concerns and ensure your healing process is as comfortable and successful as possible.
Every individual’s recovery journey is unique, regular follow-up appointments and staying in touch with your surgeon are key elements in achieving the best possible outcome from your breast augmentation lift.
