What Is Breast Augmentation + Lift?
As women age, breasts may lose fullness and develop sagging skin. At Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery in Pensacola, FL, combining breast augmentation with a lift (mastopexy) can address these issues. This procedure removes excess skin and adds saline or silicone implants to enhance size, shape, and position, giving a more youthful, perky appearance. To see if this is right for you, schedule a consultation to discuss your goals.
What Is the Surgical Technique?
Breast augmentation combined with a lift is typically an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. The lift part of the surgery usually happens first, during which any excess skin is removed, and the underlying tissue is tightened. The options for breast implants will be discussed prior to surgery, ensuring they can be efficiently placed during the procedure. Additionally, the nipple-areola complex may need to be repositioned to align better with the new size and shape of the breasts.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Augmentation + Lift?
Aging, weight loss, pregnancy, and other factors could affect the appearance of your breasts, affecting your outward appearance and confidence. Breast augmentation with lift in Pensacola, FL has several benefits to boost and rejuvenate your body, including:
- Shapes and defines the breasts
- Achieves a lifted, younger appearance
- Raises sagging and shifted breasts
- Enhances or reduces breast size
- Relocates and resizes the nipples
- Enhances breast fullness and volume
- Reduces the size of the areolas
Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery Reviews
Amazing experience - don't go anywhere else - I had a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift and augmentation with Dr. Butler in November 2017. I had heard good things about him from friends getting reconstruction after breast cancer, and decided to interview him. I had interviewed two other plastic surgeons in my area before him, and done extensive research, so I walked in with an hour's long list of questions. He took the time to answer each and every one. Further, he addressed my concerns before I even brought them to his attention. Once surgery day came, and in those days following, I can't say enough great things about him and his staff. They made my experience as comfortable as possible, and were incredibly safe in their practices. I would not hesitate to refer friends and family to him. I traveled out of my home area an hour and a half each way to have surgery with Dr. Butler and would do it again. Dr. Butler was happy to answer my questions any time as well, I even called him on a weekend after a holiday, and he was just as cheerful and upbeat as he is every time you see him in the office. I feel completely comfortable with the staff. If I could give them 100 stars I would. Dr. Butler is very experienced and knowledgeable. Don't trust your safety to anyone else!
Needed a breast lift and augmentation to achieve my desired result - Many years after breastfeeding and losing some extra pounds, I decided I was ready to seek help for my sagging breasts, and I'm glad I did. I highly recommend Dr. Jocelyn Leveque! She really listened to my desire to find just the right size for me, and welcomed my bringing in my wish pic on the day of surgery so she could see the natural contours that I loved but wanted scaled down to suit my small frame. She recommended silicone under the muscle, and was prepared with anywhere from 295-385 cc implants to provide me with just the right size to correct asymmetry and provide fullness.Updated on 5 Jul 2020:I am feeling so good today. It’s like the after-surgery funk has lifted and I finally have the energy to share my journey with others. So here goes...Once I made the choice to do this, the next hardest part was determining how big to go. I really had no desire for people at work to think, “OMG, she definitely got new boobs!” Yet I did not want that to stop me from getting what I really wanted. In the end, I took a set of wish pics in to Dr. Leveque (from one of her own clients) with the caveat that while I liked the natural curves in the pictures, I wanted the size scaled down to match my 5-foot-tall frame. She measured me again and suggested I try out the 385 cc size to see how I felt with that as the largest option. So we agreed that she would use her own judgment during surgery to use anywhere from 295-385 cc’s silicone implants under the muscle. I could not be happier with her choice!
46 Y/o Tummy Tuck W/muscle Repair, Breast Lift with Implants. - Childbirth and fluctuating weight over the years have taken a toll. I could never get rid of the apron/overhang that I've had since I I had my son. No amount if exercise would eliminate the overhang. I am not at my ideal weight but I'm seeing more and more plus size women having these procedures (with great results) so I decided not to wait. I am 5"5 and weighed 203 on the morning of surgery. Ideally (for me) I'll get down to 175-180 which is a 10/11 for me. I was initially going to get just a TT but decided to go for it and do the full Mommy Makeover. My PS (Dr. Jocelyn Leveque) wasn't sure whether she would do Lipo or not and that was left open as an option. She told me that she felt I could and would get a great result. I had 2 consultations and a preop appointment. Dr Leveque and her staff are great. She does her surgeries at Gulf Breeze hospital. My surgery went well and my recovery started well. I prepared by getting any and everything I felt would help make me more comfortable during my recovery. My surgery was on a Thursday and I went in at 6am and had surgery from 7:30 to 12noon and then to recovery and discharged by 2pm. I spoke with a nurse the day of my F/u appointment, Tuesday , 2/14, and asked if I could take off my compression hose. She said yes and I did. My appointment went fine -- I got to change binders and that felt great. As the week progressed one of my thighs started feeling weird (sore, weak , tender, warm). It didn't HURT but just felt weird. After noticing this a couple of days I mentioned it to my mom on Friday 2/17 and she asked me to call my PS about it. I did and one of the nurses scheduled me for an ultrasound where they determined I have DVTs (blood clots) in my left thigh. I spent the night in the hospital (got lovenox injections and left the next day with a prescription for Xoralto). I followed up with my primary care doctor and will be on Xoralto for six months. I'm currently 16 days post opp and things are going well with my recovery aside from the DVT setback.Updated on 26 Feb 2017:
