Dr. David Dorfman performed breast lift with breast augmentation (aka Mastoplasty Augmentation) on this 35-44 year old female after patient desired a breast lift and added fullness.
Mammoplasty Augmentation is performed to reconstruct congenital or acquired deformities, or to enhance appearance. It may be reconstructive or cosmetic in nature. Mammoplasty Augmentation is accomplished by inserting a mammary implant prosthesis beneath the chest tissues to increase size and modify abnormal breast shape. Implants may be placed either directly beneath the breast gland or beneath the underlying muscle.
Generally, the overlying chest skin envelope has sufficient elasticity to adapt to the increased size, but occasionally tissue expansion must be performed over several months to provide adequate skin for reconstruction. In some instances where there are associated chest wall deformities, customized implants based on a moulage may be fabricated to achieve adequate reconstruction.
