Breast implant and tummy tuck is one of the most common surgery procedures women undergo, but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. Breast Implants are used to improve the aesthetics of a woman’s breast as well as correcting breast defects like sagging breasts, asymmetry, or large nipples. The procedure is also used for breast cancer survivors who have had one or both breasts removed.
Breast implants and tummy tucks are two of the most popular procedures for women. These surgeries can completely transform your body, but it’s important to understand the difference between them before you make a decision. Breast Implants Breast implants are silicone or saline sacks that are inserted into your breasts. After you’re under general anesthesia, a surgeon will make an incision below each breast and insert the implants through the incision.
Breast Implant And Tummy Tuck
The breast implant and tummy tuck combination is a popular procedure for women who want to improve the appearance of their breasts and tummy. This combination is often called a “mommy makeover” because it is commonly performed after pregnancy.
The procedure involves removing excess fat, skin and scar tissue from the abdomen and lower back, then repositioning the belly button and tightening the muscles of the abdomen. The breasts are also lifted, which reduces sagging over time.
Breast Implant And Tummy Tuck Procedures
The breast implants used in combination with tummy tucks vary in size and shape. Most surgeons use round saline or silicone gel implants that range in volume from 250 cc (about one cup) to 600 cc (about two cups). The surgeon will choose an implant size based on your body type and what looks best for your frame. The nipple-areola complex (NAC) will be resized at this time as well; if your NAC is too large it can be reduced during surgery so that it matches the new size of your breasts.
A tummy tuck and breast lift can be performed together or separately. The procedures can also be done at the same time. The surgery is performed through incisions made in the lower abdomen and/or around the areola (nipple). This may be done to correct loose or sagging skin, stretch marks, scars, and other issues that make you feel self-conscious about your appearance.
Breast Augmentation With Tummy Tuck
A breast augmentation procedure is done to increase volume or projection of the breasts. It’s often combined with a tummy tuck because a section of skin from the tummy area is used to create new breast tissue. This procedure works well for women who want fuller breasts but do not want to undergo more invasive procedures such as implants alone.
The breast augmentation and tummy tuck procedure is a popular combination for women who are looking to get rid of excess fat, tighten skin and increase their breast size. It’s also a great way to achieve more volume after pregnancy. Breast implants are often used in conjunction with other procedures like liposuction and tummy tucks because they can help improve the results of those procedures by adding more volume where needed. Dr. Pousti has performed hundreds of these combined procedures on patients from all over the world, so he knows exactly how to get the best results possible! The breast implant and tummy tuck procedure is ideal for women who want to enhance their bodies with fuller breasts and smoother abdomens.
Tummy Tuck And Breast Implant Recovery
Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift Recovery Time
The time it takes to heal from a tummy tuck and breast lift will vary depending on the patient’s health, age, weight, and other factors. Most patients can expect to spend two to four weeks recovering at home. During this time, you will need someone to help you with everyday tasks such as cooking and cleaning so that you don’t overtax your body.
You may return to work about one week after surgery, but strenuous physical activity should be avoided for six weeks. If you have any questions about how soon you can return to work or what activities are safe for you, ask your doctor.
In addition to following your doctor’s instructions for recovery time and returning to normal activities, there are some things that you can do on your own in order to speed up the healing process:
Take pain medication as prescribed by your doctor. This may include over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol). Do not take aspirin because it increases bleeding risk during surgery.
A tummy tuck, commonly referred to as a “abdominoplasty,” is the most popular plastic surgery procedure in North America. It is a surgical procedure that can help you achieve your desired contoured, toned and flat stomach. In addition, it can reduce excess skin and fat in the abdominal area, which results in an improvement of body contour. A tummy tuck also improves the appearance of loose or sagging skin that may have developed after pregnancy or weight loss.
Breast Lift
A breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure that raises and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue and muscle on the chest wall. This procedure can give you a more youthful and uplifted appearance while improving your breast shape, size, position and symmetry. A breast lift can also be combined with other procedures such as breast augmentation or reduction to make you look natural again.
What To Expect After Tummy Tuck And Breast Augmentation
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, tightens underlying muscles, and improves the appearance of stretched out skin. It can be performed alone or in combination with liposuction.
A horizontal scar is made along the bikini line. The skin is then separated from the underlying tissue. Excess fat, skin and tissue are removed through this incision. The remaining skin is restructured to produce a firmer, more contoured appearance. The muscles are tightened and the abdominal wall is repositioned back over the muscle layer, resulting in a flatter abdomen with a smoother surface.
The breasts are composed of fatty tissue known as glandular tissue and fibrous or connective tissue called Cooper’s ligaments (Coopers’ ligaments). These tissues surround and support the breast gland, also known as mammary glands. They contain lobes of glands that secrete milk during breastfeeding; these lobes form a network of ducts that drain the secretions into small tubular sacs called alveoli (milk sacs).
Breast Augmentation Surgery can dramatically improve your self-image by enhancing your breast size or correcting asymmetry or drooping after pregnancy and breastfeeding. This procedure uses silicone or saline breast implants.
The cost of a tummy tuck varies greatly and is dependent upon several factors, including your surgeon’s experience and the complexity of the procedure.
