I consulted a plastic surgeon yesterday for a breast lift with implants and i was shocked to learn that he could not add implants to the lift all at once. He said he had to lift the breast first and then 1 1/2 years later he could then add an implant because he said the mammal gland was too diisconected. Is this true
Answer: Breast lift and Augmentation. Yes, it is possible to undergo a breast lift with implants (augmentation mastopexy) in a single surgery. This combination procedure is designed to address both sagging breasts and insufficient breast volume by lifting the breasts and placing implants to achieve a fuller and more youthful appearance.

Answer: Breast lift with implants - can I get these treatments all at once? It is always safer to stage these procedures rather than do the lift and implants at the same time. The risk of combining the surgeries is excessive damage to the blood supply. This can result in problems with wound healing or tissue loss including loss of nipples. This risk of having problems will vary depending on underlying factors such as age, underlying medical problems, anatomy, smoking, etc. In many cases the risk will be low enough to allow these procedures to be safely combined, but this is not always true. Thus, the need to stage the procedures is individualized. Discuss this further with your surgeon to get a better understanding of the safety. You can also seek another opinion before making a decision.

Answer: Bellesoma Method Many surgeons are reluctant to do breast lift with implants the reason being the implants add weight and can damage to effect of the lift. That is why some surgeons do them in 2 stages usually 6 months apart. Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your goal. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired.
