FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does breast augmentation with a lift cost?
Your costs for a breast augmentation with a lift will vary depending on multiple factors, like whether you want implants (saline or silicone) or a fat transfer. Also, the complexity of the lift will help determine your cost. In your initial consultation, Dr. Gonzalez will develop a personalized surgical plan and then estimate your costs. Le Contour Aesthetic Surgery takes many payment methods and we can help you find low-interest financing.

Will a breast augmentation with a lift correct sagging?
A good reason to get breast surgery that combines augmentation with a lift is that it increases the size of your chest while also addressing sag by removing loose skin. The breast lift will also adjust your natural breast tissue so the results are perky and firm. This is crucial since augmenting breasts with mild sagging may cause a less than ideal outcome if a breast lift isn’t done to address the sag. To address sagging, a breast lift should be completed and then a fat transfer or implants can be added. In your initial consultation with Dr. Gonzalez, he will take his time to understand your concerns and wants before examining the condition of your chest. Following this, he can offer his suggestion on whether you need a lift, implants, or a combination of both.

Which incision is best for my surgery?
Incisions patterns for breast surgery have become more advanced with techniques being developed to help minimize the visibility of scars. The surgical incision that is best for you will be chosen based on the type of implants and severity of breast sag. To correct moderate to severe breast sag, an anchor-shaped incision pattern is most effective. When forming your surgical plan, Dr. Gonzalez will go over incision options and which fits your needs. No matter what pattern is selected, Dr. Gonzalez will make incisions carefully for natural-looking results.

How long will my results last?
If you don’t have dramatic weight changes or get pregnant, your results from a breast augmentation with a lift should last many years. Although both silicone and saline implants are long-lasting, they should be assessed regularly to check their condition. In the surgery, Dr. Gonzalez sets your implants with a technique that reduces breast sagging. This will help your results last for a long time. It’s important to know that while cosmetic breast surgery will give beautiful results, the natural aging process still occurs. In time, you might begin to notice sagging and loose skin again, but this can be addressed with another procedure.

How bad is the scarring?
Dr. Gonzalez performs breast augmentation with a lift so all incisions are thin and small. He does his best to make incisions in areas that are difficult to see, like in the breast folds or on the areola border. If you properly care for them, in time, the scars will lighten and blend more with your normal skin. Dr. Gonzalez or someone on his staff will discuss scar care instructions you need to follow after your procedure so your incisions heal properly.
