What is Breast Augmentation Mastopexy Surgery

Breast augmentation mastopexy, a surgical procedure that combines breast augmentation with a lifting technique, is designed to lift and customise the contour and size of the breasts.

This procedure is particularly suitable for individuals who have experienced changes in their breast shape and size due to aging, pregnancy, or weight changes. It aims to address sagging while increasing breast volume, creating an enlarged and lifted breast profile.

In this procedure, mastopexy lifts and reshapes sagged breasts, correcting ptosis and moving the position of the nipples. Augmentation, performed simultaneously, involves inserting implants or using fat grafting to increase breast size and fullness. This dual approach ensures that the breasts are lifted and appear fuller and more proportionate to the rest of the body.

The surgery is often sought by those who are not satisfied with the sagging of their breasts and desire a more lifted and fuller appearance. It is an intricate procedure that requires a careful balance between removing excess skin, reshaping the breast tissue, and adding volume, making it essential for the surgeon to have significant expertise in augmentation and lifting techniques.

Patients benefit from Dr. Sawhney’s extensive experience, as he employs the latest techniques and technologies in breast surgery. His thorough understanding of different breast shapes and sizes allows him to create results that are aesthetically pleasing and harmonious with the patient’s overall body proportion. His approach is technical and meticulous, focusing on achieving a balanced look.

The Breast Augmentation Mastopexy Consultation

The consultation process with Dr. Sawhney for breast augmentation mastopexy is comprehensive and patient-centric. It starts with an in-depth discussion about the patient’s aesthetic desires and expectations. During the consultation, Dr. Sawhney conducts a thorough physical examination, focusing on the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts, skin quality and elasticity.

Dr. Sawhney uses this opportunity to educate the patient about the procedure, discussing the benefits and limitations of various techniques. He might use visual aids or imaging technology to provide a clearer picture of the potential outcomes. This step is critical in setting realistic expectations and ensuring the patient is fully informed and comfortable with the decision to proceed.

The consultation also includes discussing the patient’s medical history and any previous breast surgeries, if applicable. This information helps Dr. Sawhney tailor the surgical plan to address specific concerns while maintaining the highest standards of safety and care.

Different Methods for Performing Breast Augmentation Mastopexy

Breast augmentation mastopexy involves various techniques and methods, each chosen based on the patient’s needs. Dr. Sawhney’s expertise in these techniques allows him to deliver tailored results that align with the patient’s aesthetic goals.

Hall Findlay Technique: The Hall Findlay technique is renowned for its effectiveness in reshaping and lifting the breast with minimal scarring. This approach is particularly beneficial for patients who require a moderate level of lifting and reshaping. Dr. Sawhney carefully repositions the breast tissue, ensuring a more aesthetically pleasing breast contour while minimising visible scars. The technique is known for its precision and ability to maintain the natural look and feel of the breasts, making it a popular choice for patients who need a moderate lift without extensive scarring.

Lollipop Scar: The Lollipop Scar technique involves two key incisions: a circular one around the areola and a vertical incision extending downwards. This method is aptly named for the lollipop shape of the scar and is typically used for patients with a moderate degree of sagging. It allows for significant lifting and reshaping of the breast while limiting the extent of the scar. Dr. Sawhney’s skill in this technique ensures that the final scar is as inconspicuous as possible, providing a lifted, customised breast appearance.

Wise Anchor Scar: The Wise Anchor Scar technique is often recommended for patients with more pronounced sagging. This method involves an anchor-shaped incision, allowing Dr. Sawhney to reshape and lift the breast. It is particularly effective for individuals requiring significant breast shape and position alterations. Despite the more extensive nature of the incision, Dr. Sawhney’s expertise ensures that scarring is minimised and the natural aesthetics of the breast are maintained.

Silicone Breast Implants: Dr. Sawhney may opt for silicone breast implants due to their durability and natural feel. He carefully selects implants that complement the patient’s body, achieving the desired volume and shape. Silicone implants are known for their ability to provide a consistent shape, making them a popular choice for augmentation.

Fat Transfer to the Breast: For patients seeking a more natural augmentation, Dr. Sawhney may use the patient’s fat, harvested from another body area, to increase breast volume. This fat transfer method is favored for its ability to provide a natural feel and appearance, blending seamlessly with the patient’s body.

A hybrid of Both Implants and Fat: Sometimes, a combination of implants and fat grafting is the most effective approach. This hybrid technique offers the volume enhancement of implants with the natural feel of fat grafting, catering to patients who desire a comprehensive outcome.

Internal Bra Technique: The Internal Bra Technique is an innovative approach to providing internal support to the breast tissue. This technique enhances the lift’s longevity and maintains the desired breast shape over time. It’s beneficial in cases where long-term support is crucial for maintaining the results of the augmentation and lift.

Liposuction of the Axillary Fold: Dr Sawhney may perform liposuction in the axillary (underarm) area to customise the overall contour of the breast and upper body. This technique is particularly effective in refining the transition between the breast and the underarm area, contributing to a more harmonious contour.
