Breast Augmentation + Lift in Oklahoma City, OK

As women age, they may lose fullness in their breasts, begin to notice loose breast skin, or in some cases, both. While this is a natural part of aging, it can provide an undesirable appearance or self-consciousness. If you want to increase your breast size and also eliminate excess skin, plastic surgeon Dr. Kamal Sawan recommends breast augmentation with a lift (mastopexy). This procedure at Sawan Surgical Aesthetics in Oklahoma City, OK is performed by removing excess skin from the chest, then placing saline or silicone implants to get to your desired size, shape, and appearance, creating younger, perkier-looking breasts. Schedule an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Sawan to talk about your specific needs and goals so he can help you determine if breast augmentation with a lift best fits your desired outcomes.

You may have a number of thoughts about why you want to get breast augmentation with a lift. It's a great choice if you want to dramatically transform your breasts and improve your skin elasticity. Perhaps pregnancy, aging, or significant weight loss has caused your breasts to sag so you want to increase the fullness of your breasts — this can all be achieved at Sawan Surgical Aesthetics with a lift and augmentation. Plastic surgeon Dr. Sawan can determine if a lift by itself can achieve the results you're looking for, or if both a lift and implants are better to reach your goals. It's necessary that if you're getting saline implants, you are at least 18 years of age; if you're getting silicone implants, you must be at least 21 years old.

A combination breast surgery is commonly performed as an outpatient procedure while you are under general anesthesia. In most cases, the lift portion of the surgery is done first. Your loose skin will be cut away and the soft tissue smoothed. You and Dr. Sawan will have decided on the type of implant during your consultation so the selected implant will be ready for placement. If necessary, the nipple-areola complex will be repositioned to match your new breast size and shape.

The time you need to recover from your augmentation with a lift will vary, but you should be able to get back to your normal activities in about a week. You will need to avoid exercise and strenuous activity for 2 – 6 weeks. You will experience mild to moderate swelling following your surgery, but it should diminish in a few weeks. Your breasts will settle into their new transformed position after several months, showing off your beautiful results.

How long does a breast augmentation with lift last?

The results of this combined procedure are intended to be long-lasting, though factors such as gravity and aging will continue to affect your body over time. Sawan Surgical Aesthetics recommends maintaining a stable weight and wearing supportive bras to preserve your new shape as long as possible. Most patients enjoy their rejuvenated appearance for many years before considering any touch-up procedures.

Can I breastfeed after having a breast lift and implants?

Many women are still able to breastfeed after this procedure, as the milk ducts and nerves are often left intact. However, because the nipple-areola complex may be repositioned, there is a possibility that milk production could be impacted. It is important to discuss your future family planning goals with Dr. Sawan during your initial consultation.

Will my nipple sensitivity change after the procedure?

It is common to experience temporary changes in nipple sensation, such as numbness or increased sensitivity, as the nerves heal. While these changes usually resolve within a few months, there is a small risk that some sensory changes could be longer-lasting. Our team in Oklahoma City, OK, uses careful surgical techniques to minimize the impact on the nerves during the lift and placement of implants.
