What Is a Breast Lift?

Medically known as a mastopexy, a breast lift is a cosmetic procedure to address sagging, loose skin, fat, and breast tissue to enhance the overall appearance of the breasts, including shape, projection, and
symmetry. A breast lift repositions and reshapes the breast for a more anatomical and youthful look. If you are uncomfortable with the size of your areolae, Dr. Sanniec offers areolae reduction as part of a breast lift procedure.

While Dr. Sanniec aims to keep as much natural breast tissue intact while addressing excess skin, he will determine the appropriate breast lift technique based on the level of sagging, your breast size and shape, and skin quality.

Breast lifts are designed to enhance the appearance of the breasts with youthful, natural-looking plastic surgery results and:

  • Improve breast shape, projection, and position
  • Correct downward-facing nipples and large areolae
  • Address breast asymmetry
  • Relieve discomfort due to sagging breasts
  • Restore youthful breast shape
  • Create balanced proportions
  • Renew self-confidence and self-image
  • Revitalize femininity
  • Allow a more flattering fit of clothing

While a breast lift addresses sagging and focuses on the position of the breasts, Dr. Sanniec commonly combines breast reduction with breast lift procedures to reduce the size and weight of disproportionately large breasts.

What Is a Breast Lift with Implants?

While breast lifts focus on repositioning the breasts to a more pleasing location, a breast lift with implants, or augmentation mastopexy, improves breast sagging and also restores lost volume. A breast lift with implants eliminates excess skin, fat, and glandular tissue to create a more pleasing shape, but it
also places breast implants to restore lost volume to improve your body’s proportions.

To ensure natural-looking breast lift with augmentation results, Dr. Sanniec offers a variety of implants in styles and materials, placement options, and autologous fat transfer. He uses the sterile, “no touch” technique to ensure your health and safety.

Your Breast Lift and Breast Lift with Implants Consultation

During your Scottsdale breast lift consultation, don’t be alarmed if Dr. Sanniec tries to talk you out of plastic surgery. Dr. Sanniec doesn’t believe in convincing anyone to get plastic surgery—he wants patients who come to the decision on their own that they want breast rejuvenation procedures. Rather than the trendy surgeries taking over social media, Dr. Sanniec focuses on procedures with proven results that will age well with his patients over the next 20 to 30 years.

Dr. Sanniec will begin your consultation by getting to know you, discussing your goals and your medical history, and considering whether he is the right breast lift surgeon for you. He will then perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine the appropriate breast lift with implant techniques and implants or even using your own fat instead of an implant and discuss his philosophy of maximizing longevity and natural-looking, anatomically achievable results. Dr. Sanniec will always recommend the least invasive, lowest-risk method to achieve optimal results, including non-surgical alternatives. He aims to deliver beautiful, long-lasting enhancements that create balance with each patient’s natural frame and features.

Preparing for Breast Lift and Breast Lift with Implants in Scottsdale, AZ

Before your West Valley breast lift procedure, you should be in good overall health. Dr. Sanniec and his team will provide thorough instructions on preparing for surgery and recovery; however, here is some general information.

  • Complete at least 30 minutes of walking, or another activity, per day for at least a couple of weeks before surgery. Patients who complete more training and physical activity before surgery tend to recover quickly.
  • For several weeks before surgery, eat a nutritious, high-protein diet and minimize simple carbs.
  • Stay well-hydrated before and after surgery.
  • Dr. Sanniec may recommend visiting your primary physician for an examination and appropriate testing, such as a mammogram or routine blood work, to ensure you’re medically fit.
  • Smoking is detrimental to your overall health and can greatly impact your recovery and results. As such, Dr. Sanniec requires patients to stop smoking at least 4 weeks before and after surgery.
  • Take adequate time off work to ensure you can focus on recovery.
  • Prepare a clean, comfortable place in your home to recover. You may find it helpful to freeze meals or set up a food delivery service.
  • Fill prescriptions and procure all necessary supplies.
  • Arrange for assistance, including requesting a responsible adult drive you home and stay with you for at least 24 hours after your procedure.
  • Coordinate help with household management or childcare for a few weeks following surgery.
  • Follow your pre-op medication protocol as determined during your consultation with Dr. Sanniec.
  • Avoid consuming alcohol for at least 48 hours before surgery.
  • Engage in exercise the day before surgery to help with nervous energy.
  • Get plenty of rest the night before your procedure.

Breast Lift or Breast Lift with Implants Procedure Overview

It’s important to avoid eating or drinking after midnight the night before surgery. Take necessary medications with small sips of water. Come to the surgery center freshly showered and free of makeup, lotions, or deodorants. Be sure to wear comfortable, loose clothing that will be easy to put on after your procedure.

As Dr. Sanniec performs surgery at numerous hospitals and surgery centers in the Phoenix metropolitan area, he will discuss the most convenient time and place for your surgery during your consultation. It’s important to note the surgery center to ensure you arrive at the correct location 60 to 90 minutes before your scheduled surgery to check in and sign necessary documents.

You will meet with Dr. Sanniec and your anesthesia provider to review the details of your procedure and answer any final questions. Then, Dr. Sanniec will make surgical markings, and you will be taken to the operating room.

Breast Lift with Implants Procedure in Phoenix, AZ

Dr. Sanniec will begin your breast lift with implants by making the appropriate incisions as discussed during your consultation. Through this incision, he will create a pocket to accommodate the implant.

Dr. Sanniec will use a no-touch insertion technique to ensure your safety and decrease contamination of the breast implant. Then, Dr. Sanniec will remove excess skin, fat, and glandular tissues to reshape the breasts. Dr. Sanniec will then address the areolae and reposition them to a more pleasing anatomical location.

After the breast lift is complete, Dr. Sanniec will use dissolvable sutures to close the incisions and ensure the implant is protected. He will cover the incisions with dressings that should remain in place until your first post-operative appointment. Breast lift and lift with implant procedures typically take two to three hours, depending on the individual characteristics of your procedure.

What to Expect After Your East Valley Breast Lift | Breast Lift with Implants

Breast lift and breast lift with implant or fat grafting procedures are outpatient procedures, so you will return home the same day. It’s important to arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home from your procedure and help you with household tasks for at least a few days.

Following breast lift procedures, you may experience mild to moderate pain, swelling, bruising, numbness, and tenderness. These side effects gradually subside over the next few days to months as your tissues and implants settle and your body heals. Dr. Sanniec may prescribe pain, anti-inflammatory, and anti-nausea medications or recommend over-the-counter medications to alleviate discomfort and ensure a healthy recovery.

After breast lift procedures, you will be fitted with a support bra to minimize swelling and reinforce your new contours throughout recovery. You must wear a support bra at all times for several weeks, except when showering or laundering. It’s important to avoid wearing underwire bras throughout your recovery.

To ensure a healthy recovery, Dr. Sanniec recommends light walking the night of your procedure and up to 3 to 5 times each day afterward. However, it’s important to avoid strenuous activities, such as exercise or heavy lifting, that increase your heart rate for at least 6 to 8 weeks. Patients may typically
resume light exercises, such as walking or riding a stationary bike, within 2 weeks.

It’s important to thoroughly follow Dr. Sanniec’s instructions on caring for your incisions, preventing infections, returning for follow-up appointments, gradually resuming your normal activities, and contacting him and his staff with questions or concerns. Breast lift recovery greatly depends upon the extent of the procedure and your body’s healing abilities. Patients generally need 1 to 2 weeks off work for initial recovery. If you have a physically demanding job, you may need longer.

How Soon Will I See My Breast Lift | Breast Lift with Implants Results?

Following breast lift and breast lift with implant/fat grafting surgery, patients often see immediate enhancements to their overall figures. However, initial swelling and mild bruising may obscure your final results. Residual swelling typically resolves and tissues or implants will settle in 3 to 4 months, revealing your full results.

While Dr. Sanniec takes considerable care to make breast lift incisions in inconspicuous areas that are easily concealed by clothing, scars are most pronounced in the first few months following your procedure. Dr. Sanniec will provide you with a scar therapy regimen to improve the appearance of your
scars. Thoroughly following Dr. Sanniec’s post-operative instructions, such as maintaining a balanced diet and consistent exercise routine, will help you maintain long-lasting plastic surgery results from your East Valley breast lift and breast lift with implants.
