Frequently, more than one type of procedure may be required to help a woman achieve her aesthetic goal. A breast lift is often combined with an augmentation in women with very small, droopy breasts who want to restore upper pole fullness to their breasts and also require an elevation of the nipple and removal of excess breast skin. As the breasts begin to sag, they may also lose some of their size and volume that they previously had. As a noted New York breast augmentation surgeon, Dr. Greenwald may recommend that you consider breast augmentation at the same time as your breast lift. A saline or silicone breast implant placed at the time of your breast lift will restore the volume to your breasts. No additional incisions are needed as the implants are placed through the breast lift incisions. Examples of mastopexy-augmentations can be seen in the photo gallery.
Patients frequently inquire about doing procedures such as liposuction or tummy tucks at the time of their breast enhancement procedures. Provided you are in good health and a good candidate for the procedures you want, Dr. Greenwald will be happy to discuss performing more than one procedure with you at the time of your consultation. Patients who have breast enhancement surgery frequently have tummy tucks and liposuction performed during the same operation. The so-called “Mommy Makeover” aims to restore a youthful appearance to the breast and abdomen during one operation. We take every precaution to maximize your safety and minimize your pain during and after surgery.
Dr. Greenwald also performs surgery for breast augmentation revision surgery, breast reconstruction and breast reduction patients.
