Breast Lift with Implants at Same Time?

Hello! Thank you for your question! These two procedures can safely
and effectively be performed in one setting. Staging the procedures
to have
them done at various times will likely not have any cost benefit
for you. When you combine procedures, there is often a discount that is
provided by the surgeon for multiple procedures. Also, when having
multiple procedures performed at the same time, you save on anesthesia
and facility fees, which otherwise are paid for with each individual
procedure. In addition, you may benefit by the single recovery time.
However, more importantly than the financial aspect, your plastic
surgeon will have to determine for you if the
viability of the breast as well as nipple-areolar complex may be placed
at jeopardy if done at the same time. If for this reason, it would be
wise
to stage these procedures.Certainly it is you decision as to
whether
you have your procedures performed in one or multiple stages, but your
surgeon will give his/her recommendations. Consult with a plastic
surgeon well-versed in breast surgery who ill discuss and examine you,
while assisting you to decide which procedure will be the best option
for you. I would
discuss your concerns with your surgeon and see what your options are -
sometimes multiple consultations with board-certified plastic surgeons
is helpful for you to decide.
Hope that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

    If you are a C cup already, 700 cc implants will place you somewhere in the neighborhood of a DDD or more.  This probably is not the best idea for your long term health or the health of your breasts.  However, I place implants this large upon patient request.  I have never even had a partial nipple areolar necrosis after hundreds of breast augmentation and lift combinations.  Although no two patients are alike, I perform breast augmentation and lift together but like to limit implant size to 500 cc or smaller in most cases.  Find the plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast augmentations and breast lifts each year.   Look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to determine the plastic surgeon who can produce the results you would like.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
