Q: Lollipop breast lift and implants in one procedure?

A:

Greetings,

I perform one stage augmentation mammoplasty in my practice for women looking for a uplift and a larger size. As a matter of fact, I like using an implant during mastopexies to enhance the medial upper pole. It is a rather challenging operation. I do not perform the operation if the patient has too much excess skin, such as after massive weight loss. In those cases, I prefer a two staged approach. But in my usual "mommy makeover" patient, i find that i get good results with one stage. I always quote a 15% chance of needing another surgery, or a "revision rate". 

One way to look at it is that if you are a candidate, you have an 85% chance of needing only one surgery with a one stage aug pexy versus a 100% chance of needing two surgeries with a two stage aug pexy. hope this makes sense.
