Breast Augmentation | Case Details
55-65 year old woman treated with Breast Fat Transfer and peri-areolar breast lift. Patient is 5’8”, 150 lbs. This procedure is ideal for patients who desire a modest increase in breast size (about 1 cup size), and can be combined with a peri-areolar, no-vertical scar, or total breast lift for a complete breast enhancement procedure! It can also be repeated, for patients that want a further increase in breast size! These procedures are typically performed in the office, with only local anesthesia (although patients can request deeper sedation, if they so desire). We typically use Smart / Laser Liposuction or VASER (ultrasound) to reduce dense, fibrous fat, and stimulate collagen formation; Radiofrequency-based skin tightening (like BodyFX) to maximize skin contraction; and Ultrasound, RF, or subcision (Z Wave, Venus, Cellfina) to treat any postop irregularities. Patients go home the day of surgery; typically do not use any narcotics postop for pain control, and are back to light exercise and work 48 hours after their procedures. In my practice, we specifically evaluate patients for these additional treatments, and select the appropriate treatment based on their skin quality, amount of fat, previous treatment(s), and surgical goals.
