Hello and thank you for your question. Based on yourphotograph, you are a great candidate for a breast lift with implants. A normal breast augmentation takes one hour on average. Breast lift with implants usually takes appox 3 hours, but this can vary among surgeons.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G. Reish, M.D.Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
Every surgeon is different. Depending on the type of lift between 2-3 hours. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with and who is a board-certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.Best wishes!Dr. DesaiHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach Trained, Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Times vary among surgeons. The combo procedure usually takes me 21/2 to 3 hours depending on the amount of lift done. Good luck.
Historically performing both augmentation and mastopexy in the same setting requires careful planning and understanding a patient's anatomy; the time of the operation can certainly vary depending on what is being performed.. best of luck!
Most breast lift surgeries take about 3.5 hours to complete. It all depends on the size of the breast and the complexity of the procedure. Time will vary depending on the surgeon.
Thank you for your question. Generally, this operation takes about 3 hours. You appear to be a good candidate. Good luck.
The surgical time can vary from surgeon to surgeon and for different techniques. In general, they can take between 2- 4hours for most patients. Good luck.
For an augment alone-a little over an hour. The augment/pexy is a longer procedure and takes around three hours. Surgeons operate at different speeds and OR time is also dependent on intra-operative factors.
The answer depends upon your surgeon and the procedure he/she is recommending. A typical breast augmentation takes less than 1 hour, however depending upon the type of lift that is being done, the lift can take between 1-2 hours additional.
Thanks for your inquiry, and sorry for your struggles. Sutures do get infected and/or spit out unfortunately. Please keep seeing your doctor, he/she seems very involved and that is really good. How your scar will heal is hard to predict, but a scar revision is possible months down the road if...
I can appreciate your concerns but 5 weeks in much too early to judge the results. Your breasts will continue to change over the next few weeks and months so it would not be fair to state whether your outcome is "acceptable" until then. Although patients will sometimes benefit from rev...
If healing has been uneventful, as it is the vast majority of the time, after breast lift and augmentation, then going to the beach or swimming pool 3 week after these procedures is usually just fine. Certainly, at 6 weeks you should be fine swimming.
It’s always best to follow your doctor's advice. I tell my patients that for the first few days, they will need to depend on someone else to lift their children. Beginning on Day 3 (if they had surgery on Monday, Day 3 is Thursday), they can transfer their child – when necessary – into ...
