NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwired – Oct 25, 2016) – Mastopexy and breast augmentation are two of the most popular cosmetic surgeries performed today, says board-certified Dr. Daniel Y. Maman plastic surgeon in New York. Also referred to as breast lift surgery, mastopexy is designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the breasts by removing excess skin and elevating their position on the chest wall, she explains. Breast augmentation, on the other hand, aims to enhance the overall size and volume of the breasts through the placement of implants, creating a fuller, more defined breast contour.
While the two treatments performed independently can produce excellent results for the right patients, Dr. Maman states that some individuals may benefit more from combining breast augmentation with a lift. The reason is, a breast enlargement it can increase one’s breast size, but will not resolve a moderate to significant breast droop. “Similarly,” Dr. Maman writes in a recent blog post, “mastopexia it can lift the breast to a more youthful position on the chest wall, but the procedure will not add volume to the breasts by itself.”
According to the New York plastic surgeon, women who are typically considered good candidates for breast augmentation with a lift — also called a mastopexy augmentation or breast lift with implants — include those who want to lift their breasts while simultaneously adding and/or restoring volume. Depending on a person’s unique needs and goals, she says a breast lift with implants can help:
-
Increase breast size and volume
-
Correct breast sagging/sagging
-
Improve breast lift and projection
-
Improve overall breast contour and symmetry
-
Reposition and/or resize nipple-choroid complexes
At 740 Park Plastic Surgery, Dr. Maman explains that the breast augmentation procedure is generally performed as a single procedure that takes about two to three hours to complete. In most cases, the excess skin is removed first and the breast tissues are lifted and repositioned to the chest wall. Then, she says, the pre-selected implants are carefully placed using the “no-touch” Keller Funnel™ technique, and the skin is meticulously repositioned under the breast for an ideal result.
Ultimately, Dr. Maman reiterates that while both breast augmentation and mastopexy are great on their own for the right people, a combination of the two may prove to be a better option for many women looking to address breast sagging and volume loss at the same time.
