What Should You Consider When Planning for Breast Implants With a Lift?

Dipping your toes into the world of breast implants with a lift? There’s more to ponder than just the “wow” factor. 

First up, health is paramount — ensure you’re physically fit and mentally ready for both the procedure and recovery. 

Next, choose a reputable surgeon. Their experience can be the difference between “Oh, wow!” and “Oh…no.” 

Also, consider the look you’re aiming for. Remember, bigger isn’t always better. 

Factor in recovery time – you’ll need a hiatus from heavy lifting and some regular activities. 

Finally, potential risks and future maintenance (since implants don’t last forever) should be on your radar. Do some research, speak with your plastic surgeon, and then decide if it’s the right step for you.

Mulling over the combo of implants and a lift? Here’s something to chew on: size matters, but maybe not in the way you think. When pairing a lift with implants, the lift already adds to the overall contour and perkiness. So, if you go too big on the implants, it could be overkill. Too much volume can strain the lifted skin and potentially counteract the “lift” part of the procedure. 

A seasoned surgeon will guide you in selecting a size that harmonizes with the lift, ensuring your new curves look and feel great. The bottom line? Bigger isn’t always the ticket to better results.

Here’s something else to consider: age and skin elasticity aren’t just buzzwords in the skincare world; they play an important role in breast surgery outcomes. As we age, our skin loses its bounce-back quality. So, if your skin has seen many sunrises, it might not hold or adapt to implants as snugly as younger, more elastic skin would. This could influence the longevity and aesthetics of the results. Having a heart-to-heart with your plastic surgeon will give you a realistic sense of what to expect based on your skin’s condition.
