Description:
48 year old with 5 grown children, she is also a successful weight-loss patient: She reports that she has lost 100 pounds over the past 10 years using diet and exercise. She wants more breast volume, but also does not her nipple placement (droop). She has seen our web site and checked out the augmentation and mastopexy information and photos. Height is 5’9″. Weight is 205 pounds. Even though her primary goal was additional breast volume, because she had significant breast droop (ptosis), we explained that breast implants needed to wait until the ptosis was corrected with a breast lift. Once healed (typically 2-3 months later) if she still desired more breast volume, we could add implants without adding new scars (using the breast lift scars). She agreed to this staged approach, and proceeded with a mastopexy (breast lift). The procedure was performed in-office in our fully accredited (AAAASF) facility under light sedation and local anesthesia. Results shown at 3 months. After several months, she was able to proceed with her breast augmentation, once the breast droop had been corrected (shown HERE).
