Breast Augmentation & Mastopexy
Breast Augmentation Mastopexy, also known as a breast lift with implants, is a surgical procedure that combines two distinct methods: breast augmentation and mastopexy. The primary purpose of this procedure, performed by Dr. Hatem Elfieshawy, is to alter the size and shape of the breasts, while concurrently addressing any sagging or drooping, thereby offering a more comprehensive enhancement of the breast's overall aesthetic.
The procedure involves a two-step process. Initially, a mastopexy, or breast lift, is performed to raise the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. This process aims to reshape and support the new breast contour. Following the lift, breast augmentation is carried out, which includes the placement of implants into the breasts to increase their size and improve their shape. The combined effect of these procedures is a fuller and uplifted breast profile.
It is essential to understand that breast augmentation mastopexy is a serious decision and requires careful consideration. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks and potential complications involved.
Dr. Hatem is committed to providing accurate and realistic information about the risks, potential risks, and recovery process associated with breast augmentation mastopexy surgery.
Some risks and potential complications associated with breast augmentation and mastopexy surgery include:
- Changes in nipple or breast sensation
- Anesthesia risks
- Scarring
- Asymmetry or irregularities in breast shape and size
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Implant rupture or leakage
- Capsular contracture
The recovery process for Breast Augmentation Mastopexy is variable, as each person's healing process and pain tolerance differ. Generally, patients may need to take one to two weeks off work and should avoid strenuous activities for up to six weeks.
Post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Hatem Elfieshawy will guide you through this recovery period.
Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common, which can be managed with medication. A surgical bra or compression garment may be required to support the healing process.
