Breast Lift with Implants - Allure Plastic Surgery - Plastic Surgeon in NYC & Staten Island

The breasts, like other parts of the body and face, go through many changes during our lives. Aging and gravity can cause a loss of youthful perkiness, while childbirth often results in a deflated appearance. Even weight loss, which is typically flattering for most of the body, can often result in breasts that appear droopy and flat.

For such patients, breast implants combined with a breast lift at our Staten Island medical facility can provide just the right amount of lift and fullness.

What Is A Breast Lift With Implants?

A breast lift with implants is a combination surgery that addresses both a loss of breast volume and breast ptosis. It can restore the nipples as well to a more youthful and aesthetically inviting location. The surgeon will create a capsule or breast pocket to house the implants, carefully removing excess skin. The implants can be highly customized in terms of their size, shape, texture, and profile. Our team in New York City will guide you through the selection process and assist you at every stage of your surgical journey, making your procedure a stress-free experience.

What Can I Expect From The Procedure?

Your breast lift with implants is performed in our accredited NYC surgery center under sedation or general anesthesia. We will choose from among different state-of-the-art surgical techniques to achieve your custom goals for improvement. Our approach is based on your degree of breast ptosis, the location of the nipples, your skin’s elasticity, and the cup size you desire.

Your plastic surgeon will create incisions in the previously agreed-upon locations through which the breast pocket will be built. Excess skin and tissue will be removed to ensure a youthful-looking outcome. The implants are then placed, and the wounds are closed with fine sutures. You will be placed in our recovery suites and carefully monitored.

How Will the Implant Lift My Breast?

The implant is a means to recreate fullness and a more pleasing shape in the upper breast. If it is too large it can make if difficult to close the incisions of the breast lift, which is what creates the greatest improvement. Our breast lift procedure involves incisions that are divided into three different types, depending on the procedure and patient:

Periareolar — Around the nipple, for minimal sagging.
Circumvertical or Lollipop — Around the nipple with a vertical extension, for moderate sagging.
Inverted T or Anchor Incision — Around the nipple with a vertical extension plus horizontal extension, for severe sagging.

What Are The Different Incision Options?

Periareolar – This approach works best for patients with minimal breast ptosis. The incisions are made encircling the bottom half of the nipple, with scarring well-concealed by the darker pigments of the areolas.

Lollipop – The lollipop or circumvertical incision encircles the nipple and then runs down the breast vertically, creating the appearance of every child’s favorite treat. This approach is geared towards those with moderate breast ptosis.

Anchor – The anchor, or inverted T incision, is ideal for women with a severe degree of breast sagging. The incision encircles the nipple, runs down the breast vertically, and then runs horizontally along the inframammary fold.

What Will My Recovery Entail?

After surgery, you will be released into the care of a friend or family member who will escort you home. You’ll receive a detailed aftercare plan from our team, along with a compression garment, pain medications, antibiotics, muscle relaxants, and anti-nausea pills. Swelling, soreness, and bruising are all normal side effects of surgery.

For the first week of healing, you’ll need to sleep with your head elevated. No heavy lifting or strenuous exercise should be performed for at least 3-4 weeks; however, most patients can expect to return to work within around 7-10 days.
