Breast Augmentation and Lift in Austin, TX

As women get older, some lose breast volume while others may begin to notice loose, excess skin on their chest. Some women will have both changes that lead to deflated, sagging breasts.

This procedure is performed at our accredited operating room at Beleza Surgery in Cedar Park, TX, and begins by excising loose skin on the chest and then inserting saline or silicone implants to achieve your desired size. Breast surgery with a lift and augmentation addresses several issues, such as size, shape, and position, to create perkier, more youthful-looking breasts.

Breast augmentation with a lift is generally performed at our accredited surgical facility in Cedar Park, TX as an outpatient procedure where you will be placed under general anesthesia. For this procedure, the breast lift is usually the first to be performed. The loose skin is eliminated, and the surrounding tissue is smoothed. Dr. Hix-Hernandez will explain the options available for breast implants before your surgery so your implants can be easily placed. In some instances, the nipple and/or areola will need to be moved to better match your new breast shape and size. The time needed for recovery for augmentation with a lift will vary from patient to patient; however, you should be strong enough to resume your everyday activities in about a week. You will need to abstain from exercise and strenuous activities for 2 – 6 weeks. There may also be moderate swelling following the procedure that can last for 2 – 3 weeks. Breasts will begin to settle into their new, transformed position in about 3 – 6 months where at that time you should be able to see your results.

How much does breast augmentation with a lift cost?
The cost of a breast augmentation with a lift will be determined by multiple factors, including whether want implants (silicone or saline) or a fat transfer. In addition, some lift procedures have more complexity depending on the surgical case. During a thorough consultation, Dr. Staci Hix-Hernandez will develop a custom treatment plan and then estimate your costs. Beleza Surgery takes a number of payment methods, and we can help you find low-interest medical financing.

Will a breast augmentation with a lift correct sagging?
The benefit of a breast augmentation with a lift is that it increases the size of your chest while also addressing sag by eliminating excess skin. The lift portion of your surgery will also adjust your natural breast tissue so the results are firm and perky. This is crucial since adding volume to breasts with mild sagging may create a less than ideal result if a breast lift is not performed to address the sag. To address sagging, a lift should be completed, and then a fat transfer or implants can be done. During your initial consultation with Dr. Hix-Hernandez, she will listen to your needs and wants before examining the condition of your breasts. Following this, she will be able to offer her opinion on whether you need a lift, implants, or both.

Which incision is best for my surgery?
Breast surgery incisions have come a long way in recent years, with new techniques being performed that helps reduce the visibility of scars. The actual incision type that is best for your surgery will be chosen based on the severity of sag and the type of implants being used. To correct severe breast sag, an anchor-shaped incision is usually best. When creating your treatment plan, Dr. Hix-Hernandez will explain incision patterns and which is best for your needs. Regardless of the pattern used, Dr. Hix-Hernandez will make careful incisions so your results look natural.
