When some women get older, they may lose fullness in their breasts while others lose skin elasticity. Some women will have both changes, which results in sagging, deflated breasts. If you want to increase breast volume while also tightening and lifting the breast, plastic surgeon Dr. Cynthia Mizgala can perform a Breast Lift with Implants (mastopexy). This combination of breast surgeries at A Woman Plastic Surgeon in Metairie, LA is individualized to each patient. The desired size is established first and can be achieved with a saline-filled or silicone gel breast implant.
Dr. Mizgala will then customize a procedure to tighten the skin brassiere around the filled breast when a breast lift is performed after an implant is inserted. Less tissue needs to be tightened around the larger volume, hence, scars are minimized. A Breast Lift with Implants addresses several issues, including shape, size, and position to give you younger, perkier-looking breasts. Schedule an appointment and during your consultation for a Breast Lift with Implants New Orleans plastic surgeon, Dr. Mizgala will go over your specific concerns and goals so she can help you determine if the procedure is right for you.

There are many factors that may have you looking into Breast Lift with Implants. It is an ideal choice if you want to significantly transform your breasts while improving the firmness of your breast. You may have developed breast ptosis (sagging) due to significant weight loss, aging, or pregnancy, thus, you want to increase the volume of your breasts — this is all addressed in a Breast Lift with Implants. Dr. Mizgala can usually assess whether a breast lift by itself can achieve your best results, or if both procedures are needed to reach your overall desired look.
There are varying degrees of ptosis that will help create the right treatment plan.
This is the mildest form of breast sag, and it may be corrected with breast augmentation alone; however, this is not always permanent. Because you did have some sag, there is a possibility that when the breast implants settle, breast ptosis may reoccur. This would result in the need for a lifting surgery to position the tissue and breast perfectly over the implants.
Moderate breast ptosis may be partially corrected with breast augmentation surgery. The implants fill the tissue; however, in most moderate cases, some type of lift is often required. Dr. Mizgala prefers to be as conservative as possible with the goal to deliver the right results while at the same time taking into consideration an additional surgery may be desired later.
Major breast ptosis is diagnosed when the nipple is the lowest point on the breast. A breast lift is often required to correct this degree of sagging. An implant can still be inserted to add fullness.
A breast augmentation with lift does price a little higher than a breast augmentation or breast lift surgery alone. Most New Orleans Breast Lift with Implants patients can expect to pay between $7,500 -$12,000 for a Breast Lift with Implants. These costs vary, depending on the complexity of the lift performed, as well as the type of implant used. During a thorough consultation, Dr. Mizgala will discuss both the lift and the type of implant she believes will create the best outcome. A Woman Plastic Surgeon accepts a number of payment forms, including low-interest financing.
Breast surgery incisions have come a long way in recent years with techniques being performed that help reduce the visibility of scars. The surgical incision that is best for you will depend on the severity of sag and the type of implants being used. If you have severe sag, an anchor-shaped incision is usually best. When forming your treatment plan, Dr. Mizgala will go over incision patterns and which is best for your needs. Regardless of the method selected, Dr. Mizgala makes careful incisions so your results look natural.
As long as you do not have dramatic weight fluctuations or become pregnant, results from a Breast Lift with Implants can last many years. While both silicone and saline implants are made today to last for many years, they do need to be examined every few years to check their condition. During a Breast Lift with Implants New Orleans plastic surgeon, Dr. Mizgala places the implants using a method that reduces breast sagging. This helps your results last for a long time. It is important to understand that while a Breast Lift with Implants can offer beautiful results, natural aging will continue. In time, you may start to notice loose skin and sagging again, which can be addressed with a second surgery.
Dr. Mizgala performs a Breast Lift with Implants so all incisions are thin and small. She does her best to place incisions where they are difficult to see, such as under the folds of the breast or along the border of the areola. With proper care, the scars from your Breast Lift with Implants will eventually lighten so they blend with your natural skin. Dr. Mizgala or a member of her team will discuss scar care tips you should follow after your surgery to help your scars heal flat and smooth.
The benefit of a Breast Lift with Implants is that it improves the volume of your breasts while also correcting sag by eliminating excess skin. The lift portion of your surgery will also raise the position of your native breast tissue so your results are perky and firm.
This is important because adding volume to breasts with moderate sagging can cause a negative result if a lift is not performed to correct the sag. If moderate to severe sagging is present, a lift should be performed first and then implants can be done. During your consultation for a Breast Lift with Implants New Orleans plastic surgeon Dr. Mizgala will listen to your concerns and wants before performing a physical exam of your breasts. After this, she will be able to give you her suggestion on whether you need implants, a lift, or both.
Breast Lift with Implants is commonly performed as an outpatient procedure where you will be sedated with general anesthesia. In most cases, the lift portion of the surgery is done first. Any loose skin is eliminated and the soft tissue is tightened. Dr. Mizgala will explain breast implant options with you before the surgery so the selected implant can be easily placed. In some patients, the nipple-areola complex will need to be repositioned to match your new breast size and shape. Several techniques are described below:
This is the most limited form of breast lift. While it does involve repositioning the nipple-areola complex to a more superior location on the breast, the incisions are smaller and there is no alteration of the areola size or shape, nor is there any change to the inferior border of the areola. This approach is used in cases of mild ptosis and in patients where this approach will be adequate enough to correct the sag. Only the nipple-areola complex is addressed.
This is the second degree of breast lift. It involves an incision completely around the areola so that it can be reshaped, repositioned, and if desired, more lifting of the breast tissue can occur. Dr. Mizgala uses a pursestring method to lift the breast tissue onto the implant for a more lifted look. This approach gives more lifting than the subra-areola method, but patients who need extensive lifting will need a full anchor mastopexy.
This is the most extensive form of breast lifting. It accomplishes the maximum lift of breast tissue and can create a great outcome for patients with severe sag. The disadvantage with this surgery is that it does require a full scar around the entire circumference of the areola, as well as a vertical scar below it, and then along the inframammary fold for a typical anchor fashion. This surgery takes longer and produces some possible risks, such as decreased nipple sensitivity and scarring, but it is necessary for women with extensive ptosis.
