Breast Lift With Augmentation

While a breast lift can raise, firm and beautify a woman's breasts, it is also likely to reduce breast size. For this reason, many women choose to maintain or enhance their previous size and fullness with an implant. Dr. Cooper often performs breast lift and breast augmentation as a single, harmonious procedure.

A mastopexy procedure repositions the nipples higher on the chest while raising and reshaping the surrounding breast tissue. Lifting the breasts in this way will make them appear smaller even if the total volume of the breasts is unchanged. And improving breast shape may necessitate some reduction in volume.

During your initial consultation at either our Mandeville or Slidell, Louisiana clinic, you can talk with Dr. Cooper about the precise changes you would like to achieve, and she will work with you to determine which approaches would best help you to realize your desired contour. Dr. Cooper likes to schedule a whole hour to meet with each new patient. This provides a friendly, unhurried atmosphere for her to provide you with all the information you will need to make educated decisions about combining your breast lift with a breast augmentation.

Dr. Cooper will first help you to determine whether or not an implant is an appropriate choice for you. If it is, then you can talk about which implant type, shape and placement methods would best suit your needs, as well as possible incision locations and the risks and benefits associated with each option. With this information you and Dr. Cooper will be able to determine which procedural strategies will best meet your expectations.

Two weeks prior to your breast lift and augmentation you will meet with Dr. Cooper again to discuss all pre-operative and post-operative instructions, and to confirm the procedural plans previously determined.

The procedure itself is performed in an outpatient facility, so you may leave shortly after your procedure. A family member or friend will need to drive you home and provide assistance during the first 24 to 48 hours that follow your augmentation. You and your care giver will both be provided with Dr. Cooper's cell phone number for any concerns or questions.

Combining a breast lift with a breast augmentation can give women a more balanced, youthful and voluptuous contour. Come see why so many New Orleans area women trust Dr. Cooper to achieve their most beautifully enhanced self. To request your consultation, contact us today.
