When thinking about getting breast augmentation, many patients ask if they must also get a breast lift in order to get the desired outcome. The best way to determine this is to have a physical examination with your surgeon during your consultation.  Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthias Solomon provides breast augmentation and breast lift to patients in Dallas, Frisco, Sherman, Texas, and surrounding locations.

Why Have a Breast Lift?

For the most aesthetically pleasing appearance, the nipples should be positioned in the middle of the breasts. Generally, when the procedure of breast augmentation is carried out, the implants help to lift the skin, allowing the nipples to stay centrally located. If the breasts have an excessive amount of skin, the nipples will be situated too low on the implants, giving an unbalanced look. Your surgeon may suggest a breast lift to ensure the best possible results.

Procedure

Breast augmentation usually takes place on an outpatient basis while the patient is under general anesthesia. The surgeon will create tiny incisions, which are hidden such as below the crease of the breast or around the areola, and then place the implants into the chest. If the patient decides to also get a breast lift, the surgeon will establish which areas of the breasts have extra skin, cut away the skin, and re-locate the nipple and areola on the breast. Lastly, the incisions are sutured closed and the procedure is complete.

Do I Need a Breast Lift?

If your nipple is situated beneath the fold under the breast, it may be an indication that you require a breast lift. The most reliable method to determine whether you will require a breast lift along with your breast implants is to make an appointment with your surgeon and have a physical exam. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthias Solomon provides breast augmentation and breast lift to patients in Dallas, Frisco, Sherman, Texas, and surrounding locations.

Eyelid surgery is a facial rejuvenation surgery that can help reduce excess skin and fat from around the eyes. When patients undergo this procedure, they can opt to either have just the top eyelids completed, the lower eyelids, or both. Your surgeon will discuss your expected recovery time with you during your consultation. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthias Solomon provides upper and lower eyelid surgery to patients in Dallas, Frisco, Sherman, Texas, and surrounding locations.

Your Recovery

After eyelid surgery, patients may experience pain, swelling and bruising, blurry vision, and sensitivity to light. It is recommended that you have someone drive you home and stay with you for at least the first night of your recovery to help assist you with your needs. Swelling, bruising, and scarring will occur for several weeks, but you are able to resume work when you are comfortable.

Speeding Up Your Recovery

You should take plenty of time off work and try to rest and sleep as much as you can to help you heal properly. Stocking up on healthy foods and preparing your bedside will help you have an easier recovery in the first week or two. You may need to use cold compressions, ointments, and pain medications to ease your discomfort. Follow your post-op instructions from your surgeon for the best results.
