 Some women desire breast implants, but worry that their breasts droop too much already. In addition some women may not necessarily want larger breasts but rather hope to regain the fullness in the upper portion of the breasts that they have lost with pregnancies and breastfeeding. An increasingly attractive and popular option for breast enhancement, particularly in women who have been through pregnancy and lactation, is the combination of a mastopexy (breast lift) with breast augmentation. This is the ideal breast surgery procedure for women seeking breast enhancement who have experienced breast volume ‘deflation’ following pregnancy and lactation and who have the desire for a fuller breast profile.
How do I know if I need a lift with my implants?
Although a full answer to that question requires a consultation with Dr. Mariotti to determine if you need to have your breast skin tightened at the same time as the augmentation, there is one simple test. If your nipple is above the fold of your breast, you likely do not need a lift. If your nipple falls below the breast fold, or is just at the level of the fold, it is likely that Dr. Mariotti will recommend a Breast Lift and Augmentation.
What type of scars are involved?
Depending on the amount of lift needed Dr. Mariotti will recommend a standard lift, a vertical lift (lollipop lift) or a periareolar (donut) lift.
