This 29 year old woman came to my Huntington office for a breast lift and breast augmentation after she lost 70 pounds. A long time Long Island resident, she used diet (Jenny Craig) and exercise to become fit after her weight got out of control. But as good as she looked in clothes, she was not satisfied with the appearance of her breasts without a bra.
Examining her, it was obvious that we could use breast implants to enhance her size, but that she also had a lot of excess skin to be removed to lift her breasts. Breast enhancement may mean a lift for one woman, or a breast reduction for another. In this woman's case it was clear that the only way to lift her adequately would require the tradition "inverted T" incision lift, placing incisions around the areola, vertically downward, and then across the lower fold of both breasts.
In discussing implant types, both saline and silicone would have worked, and the patient chose saline. Her surgery took about two hours, and she went home from our office surgical facility the same day. She bounced back quickly.
