Breast Lift Las Vegas | Breast Lift With Implants

Youthful breast contours and elevation are essential to women who want to look their best. When age and gravity take their toll, many women need help to restore their figure, femininity, and self-esteem. At SurgiSpa Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Arthur Cambeiro offers breast lift and breast lift with implants in Las Vegas to help women achieve their body sculpting goals.  

Also known as “mastopexy with augmentation,” a breast lift with implants boosts breast shapes. It also elevates breasts that have undergone changes after dramatic weight loss, pregnancy, or the natural aging process. Combining these two procedures will enhance the breasts’ overall size and shape to restore youthfulness and balance.

To learn how breast lift surgery in Las Vegas or a breast lift with implants can deliver shapely breasts with youthful elevation, call us at (702) 734-4100 or request a consultation today.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift With Implants?

Excellent candidates for this procedure are non-smokers, have maintained a healthy weight over time, and have one or more of these cosmetic concerns:

  • Nipples pointing downward or falling below the natural breast crease
  • Breasts that are flatter or longer due to sagging or volume loss
  • Skin that has stretched due to significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging

Not everyone needs a breast lift and augmentation combined. Still, if you have sagging breasts and a loss of firmness, having the two procedures concurrently can resolve these issues.

Breast Lift With Implants Procedure

During your consultation, Dr. Cambeiro will explain the breast lift with implants procedure and outline the post-surgery healing process. He will also discuss your expectations for the operation and your aesthetic goals. He will address your concerns by answering all your questions about the procedure. He’ll size you for implants and review your medical history to ensure you are a suitable candidate for the operation.

A breast lift delivers dramatic results by reversing the sagging effect of aging breasts. Many of our Las Vegas and Henderson patients become excited at the prospect of having this procedure done as a standalone surgery. But others would like to enhance breast firmness and size, as well. Many women love the positive change in their breasts and accept the tradeoff for firmness and that desired upward curve. In contrast, others will not consider a procedure that may reduce the size of their breasts.

When combining breast augmentation with a lift, you get all the advantages of a breast lift, plus the many benefits of breast implants. These include adding breast volume, firmness, and loss of cup size that may remove excess skin during the lift. Dr. Cambiero positions the breast implants beneath the breast tissue to add upper pole fullness. It is a delicate procedure that requires the skill and artistic touch of a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Breast Lift With Implants Recovery

A full recovery from a breast lift procedure takes about six weeks, beginning with a week of downtime. You’ll need to arrange for help around the house, especially during the first week of recovery. You won’t be able to reach for things, lift anything over five pounds (including small children), or move around excessively. We recommend plenty of sleep and relaxation, with occasional light movement to promote blood circulation.

After breast lift procedures, we ask that you sleep upright to reduce swelling. We will provide a prescription for pain meds for your comfort. Expect to wear a compression garment for several days, and plan to come to our office periodically, so we can monitor your progress and remove sutures.

You will not be able to participate in strenuous activity, including working out, for at least four weeks. But you can return to light activities, like a relaxed walk and going back to work, after one week. You will notice scarring after your incisions heal, which is typical for all surgeries. Over time, these will fade and smooth over naturally. We recommend you apply a silicone scar treatment to flatten raised scarring and reduce discoloration.

Proven Benefits of Breast Lift With Implants

There are several reasons to consider combining these two popular procedures into one operation. They include:

  • Just as safe as having the procedures done separately
  • Less risk of scarring
  • Including implants may require less lift
  • Pairing the procedures saves you money and only requires one recovery process

According to clinical studies, risk levels are similar whether procedures are standalone or combined. Most patients would prefer to have only one operation when possible.

Patient Experiences: Breast Lift

Dr. Cambeiro was an outstanding surgeon, and I am thrilled with results just 3 weeks out from my procedure. He took the time to listen to what I wanted to accomplish in my breast lift/implant exchange, discussed realistic options, and we agreed on a game plan. He was very responsive to my desire to minimize scars, and I am thoroughly pleased with the result he accomplished a result!

Breast Lift With Implants FAQs

Most patients find the procedure highly tolerable. Post-surgery discomfort is easy to manage by taking prescribed medication as necessary. Soreness and pain will decrease rapidly during recovery if you follow Dr. Cambeiro’s post-operative instructions.

Dr. Cambeiro believes it’s safest and most comfortable to do this operation while the patient is sleeping. You will be under general anesthesia and stay asleep for the entire surgery. An anesthesiologist will monitor you during surgery, and you will awaken within hours in the recovery room. 

As with all surgeries, there are potential risks to consider, including infection, bleeding, and scarring. Complications specific to breast implant surgeries are implant shifting and a condition known as capsular contracture, when a thick band of scar tissue forms around the implant.

These are the reasons it’s critical to choose a qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon. These surgeons have the highest level of training for reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. Contact Dr. Cambeiro to learn how to reduce these risks for the safest cosmetic improvement experience available.

Dr. Cambeiro offers personalized breast surgeries to his patients because all breast anatomies are unique. Also, cosmetic concerns with breast appearance differ from patient to patient. To determine your breast lift cost tailored to your breasts and desired results, schedule a consultation with Dr. Cambeiro.

Many patients choose to combine a breast lift with implants for lift and fullness. Dr. Cambeiro will discuss your goals with you during your consultation and create a treatment plan that best fits you.

Removing excess skin and reshaping your breasts for a more youthful appearance may make them look slightly smaller. However, the techniques used in a lift are different than those necessary for a breast reduction. If you are concerned about volume loss, ask Dr. Cambiero about adding implants during your lifting surgery.

Yes, a breast lift can correct mild to moderate breast asymmetry by repositioning the nipples and reshaping the breast tissue. Dr. Cambiero may recommend combining your lift with an augmentation or reduction if you struggle with having one breast that is noticeably smaller than the other.

There is no perfect age for a breast lift, but most women choose the procedure in middle age after experiencing pregnancy, weight loss, or aging-related sagging. If you are still planning to have children, you may want to wait, as pregnancy can affect your results.

Various surgical techniques may impact your breastfeeding ability and milk supply. Discuss this concern with Dr. Cambiero so he can ensure your nipples and milk ducts remain intact.

A breast lift can last a decade or more, but gravity, lost skin elasticity, and weight changes can affect your breast shape over time. Maintaining a stable weight and wearing supportive bras can help prolong your results.

Most patients return to non-strenuous jobs within a week. You may need to take at least four weeks before resuming full duties if your job requires heavy lifting or physical activity.

Of course! Your experience is completely customizable. You may want to combine your breast lift with complementary procedures like these for even more stunning results.

To get ready for surgery:

 

  • Stop smoking and alcohol at least four weeks before the procedure.
  • Avoid blood-thinning medications as advised by Dr. Cambeiro.
  • Eat a healthy diet and stay hydrated.
  • Arrange for help at home while you recover.

Pregnancy can stretch your skin and change your breast shape, potentially altering your results. If you plan to have more children, you may want to wait before undergoing a breast lift.

Significant weight loss after a breast lift may lead to additional sagging. It’s best to reach your target weight and stay there for at least a few months before surgery to ensure you can maintain long-lasting results.
