Breast Augmentation with Lift (Augmentation Mastopexy)
Women who desire both lifting of sagging breasts and more breast fullness particularly at the top of the breasts, may be most interested in a breast augmentation with a breast lift at the same time, also known as an augmentation mastopexy. The goals of this cosmetic surgery are to balance removal of too much stretched and damaged saggy skin with filling up the remaining skin with volume from an implant. This will produce a more aesthetically pleasing, and youthful breast contour, especially out-of-clothing.
When performed well, the results can be incredible. However, with so many variables involved, it is critical to design an individualized surgical plan that matches your specific goals with your specific body. One of the best plastic surgeons in San Antonio TX, Dr. Albright will discuss the pros and cons of different techniques so that you can make the best decision for your body.

Breast augmentation with breast Lift FAQ’s
What scars are required for a breast augmentation with breast lift (augmentation mastopexy)?
The placement of the scars will be determined by how much excess skin is on the breast (the skin envelope) and how much volume is desired with the implant. Dr. Albright, one of the best breast augmentation surgeons in San Antonio, TX, will offer his insight to help you choose the best options available to you and your type of breast. For women who only need a short nipple lift, a periareolar mastopexy may be adequate and has the fewest visible breast scars. This limits the scars to just around the areola (pigmented skin around the nipple), with or without an incision at the breast crease. For maximum excess skin removal and nipple lifting, a full Wise pattern or anchor scar may be used. This will leave a scar around the areola and a short vertical scar that connects the areola to a side-to-side scar located along the lower breast fold.

Breast implants with breast lift after bariatric surgery or massive weight loss... What's right for me?
Differences to consider for the massive weight loss patient are considering staging the procedure; doing a lift first then recovering from surgery and allowing the breast to settle before performing a breast augmentation later. Additionally, excess skin and residual fullness may exist around the sides of the breast toward the back (bra line). This may require additional surgery including excision (leaving a scar) and/or liposuction. Although this does increase the surgery time, complication risk, and overall cost, it may be necessary to give you the results you are looking for. Finally and perhaps most critically, where will breast rejuvenation fit in with your other cosmetic surgery goals (belly, arms, thighs, face, etc)? This requires a thorough assessment and discussion of your goals to fully answer. During your consultation for breast augmentation surgery, Dr. Albright will help you come up with a plan that works for you, your goals and your budget.
