Breast Augmentation with Breast Lift
To achieve perkier breasts and give your confidence a boost, sometimes all you need is a little tweak. A breast lift might be the way to go.
A breast lift, or mastopexy, can go hand in hand with the breast augmentation procedure. Dr. Fodero can combine the two to restore lost breast volume and create a more curvaceous silhouette that will make you feel younger and more alluring.
About Breast Augmentation: Keys to Consider
Incision Placement
Dr. Joseph Fodero can choose to locate the incisions in the following locations:
- Tucked in the underarm (axillary)
- Camouflaged around the lower edge of the areola (periareolar)
- Hidden under the breast at the natural crease (inframammary).
Because every woman is different, it is important to consult with Dr. Fodero what type of incision is right for you.
Location of the Implants
Nowadays, the majority of implants are placed under the pectoralis muscle. As a result, the risk of capsular contracture is reduced. Also, it allows for a softer transition in the upper pole of the breast, which creates a more natural result.
Size and Shape
Choosing the size and shape not only impacts the final result, but also the type of implant.
The right fit for you depends on the desired silhouette, the dimensions of your torso and width of your breast.
During your consultation with Dr. Fodero, he will carefully go over all of the options with you so that you’ll end up loving the end result.
Type of Implants
The type of breast implants you choose will depend on a number of factors:
- Silicone implants, FDA approved since 2006, are made of gel encased in a silicone rubber shell. They are the perfect choice for their natural look and feel.
- Saline implants contain a benign saltwater solution. Some patients prefer them for their lower rate of capsular contracture. Overall, saline implants are extremely safe and have a realistic look and feel, as well.
FAQs about Breast Augmentation
How long does the surgery last?
Depending on the complexity of the procedure and the type of implant, breast augmentation surgery can last between one and four hours. Because it is an invasive procedure, you will receive general anesthesia to ensure comfort.
Is there a higher risk of breast cancer after breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery does not increase the chances of developing breast cancer. However, it may change the feel of lumps in the breast, so regular breast exams are important.
The recovery process
Most patients return to their everyday activities a week or two after the surgery and can enjoy sexual activity after four weeks. Full recovery can take a couple of months, which gives you time to get to know the new you!
Self-conscious about scars showing in the summer? Depending on the incisions and implant placement method, scarring can be minimal. For example, saline implants can be placed through incisions in the belly button or armpits, therefore leaving no visible scars. However, the healing process of the incisions takes between six and twelve months.
Will health insurance cover my breast surgery?
If you are a breast cancer survivor and are seeking breast reconstruction surgery, your health insurance provider may cover the surgery. However, you should contact the company to verify if you are eligible prior to moving forward with the treatment.
Are you familiar with our financing options? Insurance companies do not cover cosmetic procedures like breast augmentation and breast lift surgery, as they do not consider them medically necessary. For this reason, at Northeastern Plastic Surgery we offer several financing alternatives and a variety of payment methods.
