Are You a Candidate for a Breast Lift With Implants?<\/h2>\n

To see if you are a candidate for a breast lift, try this \u201cpencil test.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Place a pencil horizontally along the crease under your breast where your bra band would rest. Look in the mirror. Is the position of the nipple itself (not the areola) above, at, or below the crease?<\/p>\n

If your nipple hangs<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>below\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>the pencil, you would be a candidate for a breast lift.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>It would restore your breasts to a more youthful \"\"look by repositioning the nipples at a higher position and removing excess skin.<\/p>\n

If\u00a0<\/b><\/span>your breasts are mildly droopy (with the nipple above<\/em> or at<\/em> the crease),\u00a0<\/b>the approach is not as clear-cut; it depends on how much of a pick-me-up you are hoping for.\u00a0A saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That\u2019s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn\u2019t. A silicone gel implant placed in front of the pectoral muscle might create the same illusion.<\/p>\n

To decide if you want a breast lift and breast implants:<\/strong> Put on your bra and look in the mirror. If you are satisfied with the size of your breasts, then a breast lift alone might be the right procedure for you. If you wish that your breasts were bigger, you are probably a candidate for a\u00a0breast lift with\u00a0implants.<\/p>\n

The Consultation<\/h2>\n

At your free consultation, which will run about 45 minutes, you\u2019ll have a chance to talk about your expectations and find out what a breast lift with saline or silicone implants<\/a> can accomplish. Dr. Eisenberg will take your medical history, discuss your specific health concerns, and examine and measure your breasts. You\u2019ll see pictures of the breast lift incision, which is anchor-like in shape; it goes around the nipple, extends from the nipple down to the breast fold and then in the breast fold itself. Healing is usually very good and is helped by Dr. Eisenberg\u2019s use of dissolvable stitches, which do not have to be removed.<\/p>\n

Dr. Eisenberg has an incomparable collection of before and after photographs<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0of his augmentation mastopexy patients. You\u2019ll see photos of women who started out similar to you in height, weight, frame size and breast volume and how they look at three and nine months after surgery.<\/p>\n

Cost of Breast Lift With Implants<\/h2>\n

Prices around the country range from about $5,000 to $10,000 for breast lift surgery. If it\u2019s combined with a breast augmentation, expect to pay an additional $3,500 for saline implants and $4,500 for silicone. On your initial phone call, our friendly, experienced staff will discuss the cost, financing options, <\/a><\/u>and our payment policy. Dr. Eisenberg\u2019s price is all-inclusive. It includes his surgical fee, hospital and anesthesia costs, smooth breast implants, laboratory tests, and all postoperative visits \u2013 usually at 1 week, 3 weeks, 3 months and 9 months.<\/p>\n

The Augmentation Lift Surgery<\/h2>\n

An\u00a0augmentation mastopexy is probably the most complex cosmetic breast surgery procedure, because two operations \u2013 a breast lift and breast augmentation \u2013 are combined to achieve the desired result. It requires a lot of experience, sculpting and finesse to select the right size implant and to create symmetry and maximum lift. Dr. Eisenberg’s I.D.E.A.L. Breast Lift does just that, and he has been\u00a0teaching to doctors from around the country and around the world since 2003.<\/p>\n

While some doctors prefer to do two separate operations \u2013 the breast lift first followed a few months later by the breast augmentation \u2013 Dr. Eisenberg performs both procedures at the same time.\u00a0Having one surgery rather than two reduces the time that you are under anesthesia.<\/p>\n

The traditional breast lift technique is to remove the excess skin on one side and tack it back together to see how it looks. Surgeons repeat the process on the other side and compare. If the breasts aren\u2019t even, they go back and forth and back and forth, trimming skin until they get it right.<\/p>\n

Dr. Eisenberg\u2019s approach, which he calls \u201cprevisualization,\u201d relies on the use of surgical staples to temporarily fasten or tailor tack the breasts into their new higher position, enabling him to see exactly how they\u2019ll look before he makes a single incision.\u00a0\u201cWith this technique, I know precisely how much skin needs to be removed. It takes the guesswork out of the procedure,\u201d he says, adding, \u201cThe staple-first technique exemplifies the expression: Measure twice, cut once.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Day of Surgery<\/h2>\n

Dr. Eisenberg performs his I.D.E.A.L. Breast Lift surgery in the safety of the operating room at\u00a0<\/span>Nazareth Hospital<\/strong>. On the day of surgery, your support person can stay with you until you are transferred to the operating room. That means he or she can be by your side when you meet the anesthesiologist and when Dr. Eisenberg marks the incision site, takes pictures for you and your records, and reviews your postoperative medications and diet.<\/p>\n

During surgery, after Dr. Eisenberg places your breast implants, he will reposition your nipples at a higher position and remove the excess skin. When the remaining skin is tightened, it creates a natural sling \u2013 like a new bra \u2013 to support and lift your breasts. The procedure takes about three and a half hours.<\/p>\n

After surgery, you will be cared for in the recovery room by skilled, compassionate nurses until you are ready to go home later the same day. You must arrange for someone to drive you home.<\/p>\n

Recovery After Breast Lift With Implants<\/h2>\n

The first three days after surgery, women who have had children commonly say they feel like they did when their breasts were fully engorged with milk after childbirth. Women who have not had children describe the feeling as some tightness, burning or pressure. Dr. Eisenberg will prescribe medications to make you more comfortable during this period. The discomfort usually starts to ease up on the fourth day after surgery.\u00a0More than 90 percent of the patients are back to work in an office setting on the fifth day.<\/strong><\/p>\n
