About
Your breasts endure a lot as the years go by. Both age and pregnancy contribute to volume loss. The tug of gravity and the strain of childrearing take their own toll. It is gradual, but noticeable, that your once jaunty bosoms now look rather sad and saggy. Harley Surgery is here to help.
Dr Frati blends the benefits of his and procedures into a single surgery called augmentation-mastopexy. First, a word on its constituents.
A breast uplift will change your breasts’ direction, not their dimension.
Sagging breasts indicate volume loss. This commonly comes with age. Augmentation combats this unfortunate occurrence through the use of a variety of implants. These implants vary in size, shape, and texture to suit the style of every woman. Indeed, it is our most popular procedure. So, if you seek a grand return to your bubblier days or if you want to go bigger than ever, investigate augmentation to address issues of size. Orientation, however, is another matter altogether.
Sagging breasts are known as ptosis in the plastic surgery set. “Ptosis” is derived from the ancient Greek word meaning “to fall”. You can judge the severity of your ptosis by conducting your own “pencil test” at home (described below). In mastopexy, Dr Frati tightens and excises excess skin to raise your breast orientation in relation to your frame. He also repositions your nipples upward in a more vivacious vector. However, since tissue is removed in the procedure, your bra cup size may go down unless you undergo augmentation as well.
Do you have ptosis? See for yourself by conducting the classic pencil test at home.

FAQ
Every woman’s body is unique. So, only a personal examination by the doctor can provide you with the most definitive timeline. However, knowledge and experience from performing many thousands of similar surgeries on a variety of women does yield some insight. It should take about six weeks to fully from a breast augmentation with lift. Although many women report feeling fine much sooner. Patients experience most discomfort in the first week; Dr Frati will prescribe medication to help manage. In the weeks that follow, over-the-counter painkillers should do the job.
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure involving the use of implants to enhance the size of the breasts. A breast uplift, on the other hand, will correct drooping breasts. Ptosis (derived from the Greek word meaning “to fall”) describes the of severely saggy breasts. Your breasts lose mass as you get older. This contributes significantly to ptosis. While breast augmentation may go a long way toward restoring this lost volume (and then some!) implants do not help repair ptosis.
Both of these procedures are great separately, but, like some of the most interesting things in life, they’re even better together! If you would like to take a comprehensive, holistic approach to enhance the look of your chest, a breast uplift with implants is the best of both worlds. Also called augmentation-mastopexy in the medical parlance, the combination procedure your breasts the augmented size and shape of implants partnered with the perky, youthful orientation you can only get from a breast uplift.
If an experienced plastic surgeon certifies that there is nothing wrong with your current implants, then there should not be any issues in getting a breast uplift. However, a close inspection of your implants will reveal if they have become hardened and immobile. If this is the case, then we recommend getting a breast augmentation refresh in tandem with your lift. It is important to remember that breast implants have a lifespan. If it has been 10 years or more since your augmentation surgery, we advise a consultation with the doctor to verify that everything is in fine working order before seeking further enhancements.
Yes, breast uplift surgery (mastopexy) may decrease your size. In a study published in the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, women reported going down an average of one bra cup size post-mastopexy. The study’s state that women afflicted by ptosis may choose to wear bras that are too big for them. They find the extra room more comfortable. Another explanation may lie in the actual mechanics of the mastopexy procedure which cutting away tissue to achieve a lifted appearance. Either way, women with ptosis seeking to enhance or even maintain their current breast size may like to consider the comprehensive benefits of augmentation-mastopexy.
