How is Breast Augmentation with Lift Performed?
During breast augmentation with lift surgery, surgical incisions are made either around the areolae, around the areolae, and vertically down from the areola to the breast crease, or around the areolae and vertically down from the breast crease and along the breast crease itself. The incision point depends on the type of implants you choose and the extent of the lift needed.
Once the incisions are made, the implant is inserted either under the soft tissue or the muscle. The implant placement will be chosen based on the proportions of your natural figure and the size and shape of the implant itself.
Once the implants are in place, Dr. Savalia will lift the breasts by tightening and reshaping the breast tissue to improve the contour and firmness of the breasts. He will reposition the nipple and areola to a natural, more youthful height with an upward tilt. If it is needed, he will reduce the size of the areolae by removing the skin at the perimeter. Excess breast skin will be removed, and the incisions will be closed.

Types of Implants
Dr. Savalia will consult with you about each type of implant and discuss your options to achieve your aesthetic goals for your breasts. You will be able to test different-sized implants to see how they look and feel on your body so that you can make an informed decision about what you want.
Silicone Implants
Silicone implants are a silicone shell containing a viscous silicone gel that feels natural and retains a shape and bounce very similar to natural breasts. Silicone implants are a popular choice for women who want a natural look and feel.
With silicone implants, patients can select which level of silicone gel viscosity and shape. “Gummy bear” is one popular form of silicone implants. They achieve the plumpest, most natural look.
Gummy Bear implants
Gummy Bear implants are designed in a natural teardrop shape and made with cohesive silicone gel. They are popular for their similar form and feel to natural breasts. Gummy bear implants can help provide a larger cup size that retains the natural breast contours.
Gummy Bear implants have a reduced risk of rippling, folding or rupture when compared with other types of implants. However, you will need to undergo regular medical screenings to ensure that your implants haven’t migrated or leaked, having a recommended MRI every three years following your procedure.
Saline Implants
Saline implants are a silicone shell filled with sterile salt water. They are inserted into a smaller incision and filled after placement, each adjusted until the result is symmetrically round and beautiful breasts. Saline-filled implants can have less of a natural feel and move less naturally than silicone implants.
In the rare case that a saline implant ruptures, the saline is harmless and the rupture can be seen and addressed quickly. When a silicone breast implant ruptures, the cohesive silicone gel may stay in place with the gel slowly entering the surgical pocket. (These complications are rare.)
At Savalia Plastic Surgery, the patient experience and support are just as important as the end result.

What to Expect After Breast Augmentation with Lift
After surgery, you will be able to go home the same day. You will have a compression bandage around your chest to support and protect your breasts. This bandage limits post-surgical swelling.
During your first few days of breast augmentation and lift recovery, it is best to have someone stay with you to help you. Within the first week, you will be able to get around more easily, and by the second week, you should be able to return to most of your normal daily activities. Be sure not to lift anything over five pounds and do avoid lifting your arms above your shoulders. Dr. Savalia will give you clearance to exercise or do other more rigorous activities after about a month.
Your body will continue to heal over the coming weeks to months. Once the swelling subsides, the implants will settle into their final position.
