Procedure
The details of your breast implant with lift procedure will be established in your personal consultation and will differ for each patient, as this is a highly individualized procedure. In most cases, Dr. Gerzenshtein begins the procedure by making an incision into the breast to access the underlying tissues. Following this, he will remove excess skin and tighten muscles to lift the breasts. Then, he places the breast implant either under or over the chest muscle, depending on the patient. Once this is complete, he will close the incisions, and you will begin your recovery. Procedure times are subject to variation from patient to patient.
Risks
As with any surgery, there are risks associated with augmentation mastopexy. These risks include:
- Bleeding
- Infection

- Asymmetry
Patients should discuss these risks with Dr. Gerzenshtein before undergoing the procedure to ensure they are fully aware of the potential outcomes of this treatment. If necessary, Dr. Gerzenshtein can recommend alternative treatments that patients may be more comfortable with.
Recovery
After the surgery, patients may experience pain, swelling, and bruising. These can be managed with pain medication and rest. Patients can usually return to work within a week or two.
