Description:
33-year-old female who presents today for consultation to discuss a breast augmentation. She is married and currently resides locally. She has one child who is 4, that she breast fed for approximately one year, and she has no plans of having any more children in the future. She reports that since having her child she feels like her breasts are ‘deflated’. She would like to have them “perkier” and obtain more volume, while still maintaining a natural and proportionate look. Height is 5’4″. Weight is 142 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).
