Breast Augmentation and Breast Lifts - AesthetiCare AesthetiCare

Do you find yourself avoiding certain clothing styles or feeling self-conscious about your breast shape or size? Perhaps you’ve experienced changes after pregnancy and breastfeeding that have left you feeling less confident about your body, or maybe you’ve always wished for fuller, more proportionate breasts that better reflect how you see yourself. If this resonates with you, you’re not alone.

Breast concerns affect women of all ages and backgrounds, impacting not just physical appearance but also self-confidence and body image. Whether you’re dealing with asymmetry, loss of volume, sagging or simply desire enhancement, these concerns can significantly affect how you feel about yourself and your body.

Breast augmentation and lift procedures can help you achieve the breast shape, size and position you desire, allowing you to feel confident while enhancing your natural beauty.

Understanding Breast Enhancement Procedures

Breast enhancement encompasses two primary surgical procedures: breast augmentation and breast lifts, and these can be performed individually or in combination.

Breast Augmentation involves the placement of implants to increase breast size, improve shape, and enhance overall breast appearance. This procedure can address concerns about size, symmetry and loss of volume due to aging, weight loss or pregnancy.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy) focuses on repositioning and reshaping existing breast tissue to create a more youthful, lifted appearance. This procedure addresses sagging, drooping, and changes in breast position that occur naturally over time.

Both procedures are outpatient surgeries that can dramatically improve breast appearance and boost self-confidence. The choice of procedures depends on your individual anatomy, concerns and aesthetic goals.

Common Breast Concerns Addressed

1

Loss of Volume and Fullness

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes and aging cause breasts to lose volume. Breast augmentation can restore fullness and create the size and shape you desire.

2

Breast Sagging and Drooping

Over time, gravity, pregnancy, and aging cause breasts to lose their youthful position and firmness. A breast lift can restore a more elevated, youthful breast position.

3

Breast Asymmetry

Many women have natural breast asymmetry that can be corrected through augmentation, lift procedures, or a combination of both to create better balance and proportion.

4

Loss of Upper Pole Fullness

The upper portion of the breast often loses volume first, creating a bottom-heavy appearance. Enhancement procedures can restore balanced, attractive breast contours.

5

Wide-Set or Narrow Breast Spacing

Implant placement and surgical techniques can improve breast spacing and create more proportionate breast positioning.

6

Nipple and Areola Position

Breast lift procedures can reposition nipples and areolas to a more youthful, aesthetically pleasing location on the breast mound.

The Breast Enhancement Journey

Consultation and Planning

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which Dr. Korentager evaluates your breast anatomy, discusses your concerns, and understands your aesthetic goals. You’ll then explore different options, including implant types, sizes, and placement techniques for augmentation or various lift techniques, depending on your needs.

During this detailed consultation, Dr. Korentager will assess your breast tissue, skin quality, and chest wall anatomy to determine the best approach for your situation. He’ll explain the differences between saline and silicone implants, discuss incision options, and help you understand what results you can realistically expect.

For breast lift consultations, he’ll evaluate the degree of sagging, nipple position, and skin elasticity to recommend the most appropriate lift technique for your anatomy.

The Procedures

Breast Augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia through carefully placed incisions that minimize visible scarring. Depending on your anatomy and desired results, implants can be placed either above or below the chest muscle. The procedure usually takes one to two hours.

Breast Lift involves removing excess skin and reshaping breast tissue to create a more youthful contour and position. Various techniques can be used depending on the degree of lift needed, from minimal scarring approaches for mild sagging to more comprehensive techniques for significant repositioning.

Combination Procedures can address both volume and position concerns simultaneously, though this requires careful planning to achieve optimal results while maintaining safety.

Recovery and Healing

Recovery from breast procedures varies depending on the specific surgery performed. You’ll experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which is normal. Most patients wear a supportive surgical bra during initial healing.

For a straightforward breast augmentation, most patients can return to work within a week, avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous activities for several weeks. However, due to the extent of tissue reshaping involved, recovery may take slightly longer for breast lifts.

Full results develop over several months as tissues settle, swelling resolves, and scars mature. The final breast shape and position become apparent as healing progresses.

Long-Term Results and Maintenance

Both breast augmentation and breast lift procedures provide long-term results that can enhance your confidence and body image for many years. However, breast implants are not to be considered lifetime devices and may need replacement eventually.

To maximize your results, maintain a stable weight, wear supportive bras during exercise, protect your skin from sun damage and follow a healthy lifestyle. Regular follow-up appointments ensure that your results remain optimal over time.

Most patients are delighted with their breast enhancement results and report significant improvements in self-confidence and body satisfaction.

Combining Breast Procedures with Other Treatments

Breast enhancement procedures can be effectively combined with other body contouring surgeries for comprehensive transformation. Popular combinations include mommy makeover procedures that address post-pregnancy body changes, tummy tuck surgery for complete torso rejuvenation, and liposuction to enhance overall body proportions.

Combining procedures depends on your goals, health status, and recovery considerations. During your consultation, Dr. Korentager will discuss whether combination procedures would be beneficial for achieving your aesthetic goals.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Enhancement

The ideal candidate for breast enhancement procedures is someone who is bothered by their current breast appearance and has realistic expectations about surgical results.

Good candidates typically have specific concerns about breast size, shape, or position, are in good overall health, have realistic expectations about results and recovery and are emotionally prepared for surgery. It’s essential to have a stable weight and good overall health for optimal healing and results.

Those who may not be ideal candidates include those with unrealistic expectations about dramatic transformation, active breast infections or other health conditions that impair healing, or those who are pregnant or currently breastfeeding.
