As a woman’s body changes with age, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy and breastfeeding, it is not uncommon for her breasts to lose their firmness and shape. A mastopexy, more commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure that is used to lift the breast tissue and restore the shape and firmness of a woman’s breasts.

Breast Lift and Augmentation in Lansing, MI

A breast lift on its own is a wonderful option for women who are concerned about the shape and firmness of their breasts but are satisfied with their current size. However, many of the same factors that cause breasts to sag can also cause breasts to lose volume and size as well. In this case, a breast lift alone may not be satisfactory. Breast augmentation surgery utilizes breast implants to enhance the breasts to your desired breast volume and shape. Silicone implants and saline breast implants offer a variety of options for your unique needs.

Combining Breast Procedures

In the East Lansing area, women combine a breast lift with breast augmentation in order to reshape and resize their breasts for a more proportioned and a more youthful appearance. Sometimes, a breast lift and breast implant procedure can be performed together, eliminating the need for multiple surgeries. Depending on the anatomy of a woman’s breasts and desired results, some patients may need to complete their breast procedures in stages, allowing for ample healing time after the breast lift before the augmentation will be completed. Dr. Colony will discuss breast implant options and your breast surgery treatment plans in detail with patients to determine the best-individualized plan for their unique needs and goals.

FAQs

Can you do a breast lift and augmentation at the same time?

Yes, as long as you are an ideal candidate for both procedures. However, this will vary between patients depending on a variety of factors.

How long does a breast lift with implants last?

The average breast implant and lift results last about 10-15 years, or longer. Wearing proper breast support at all times is essential to preserve your surgical results.

Is breast lift with implants better than a fat transfer?

With a fat transfer, size increase is minimal, while breast implants allow for a significant change in volume, if desired.

Is it cheaper to combine cosmetic procedures?

It can sometimes be cheaper because you do not have to pay for anesthesia twice.

Does combining procedures shorten recovery time?

Combining multiple procedures into one surgery can be beneficial as you will only have to go through the recovery process once.

Patient Testimonials

I am beyond thrilled with my choice of a plastic surgeon. Dr. Colony is not only incredibly smart and he's got the bedside manner going for him which is quite hard to find in surgeons. I have not only recommended Colony to many friends, but I've actually realized a couple of friends had gone to him before without me realizing.

Dr. Colony was so kind to me when I asked him all my questions about wanting surgery. He did not rush and made me feel like I mattered. He is very knowledgeable. I can hardly wait to get my surgery done by him!

Was very cautious, and thought long and hard about whether I should or shouldn't. Awesome decision. Should have done it a long time ago. A great accomplishment that couldn't have been done without the help of Dr. Colony and his awesome team. If you're living a minute with any self-doubt or low self-esteem about a certain body part, put your Nikes on and JUST DO IT!
