A more attractive, balanced figure

Breast Lift + Breast Implants

Many women experience unwanted changes to the appearance of their breast as they age. Pregnancy, major weight loss, and natural aging can transform a perky, shapely bust until it's almost unrecognizable for some women. One of the best ways patients can restore their breast to a more full, youthful appearance is with breast implants, performed in addition to a breast lift, also known as a mastopexy.

Patients who receive breast implants with a lift will find that the procedure not only improves the appearance of their breasts, but it also gives them a more attractive, balanced figure overall. While this procedure is highly customizable to meet the goals of each individual patient, there is one common outcome from each procedure: patients leave Dr. Quinn's office with greater confidence in their appearance. If you are looking to renew the appearance of your breasts, please schedule a consultation with Dr. John Michael Quinn. Give us a call at (913) 492-3443 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Quinn at our office in Overland Park.

Benefits

A breast lift by Dr. Quinn will endow you with a perkier, shapelier bust, while the breast implants will add volume and symmetry. Most patients find that they love their new figure. Their clothes suddenly fit better and their silhouette is more eye-catching. Cosmetic surgery isn't an option that should be considered lightly.

Degrees of Ptosis

  • LEVEL 1 (MILD SAGGING): The areolas are completely level with the patient's breast fold. Breast tissue is still visible below the areolas.
  • LEVEL 2 (MODERATE SAGGING): The areolas are sagging below the woman's breast fold. However, a slight amount of breast tissue is still visible below the areolas.
  • LEVEL 3 (SIGNIFICANT SAGGING): This is used to describe areolas that hang below the woman's breast fold. These patients have no noticeable breast tissue below their areolas.
  • PSEUDOPTOSIS: This refers to cases where the patient's areolas remain well above her breast crease, but most of her breast tissue has fallen below the fold.

Techniques

Breast Lift Technique

While Dr. Quinn has performed mastopexy using a variety of techniques, he has found that the anchor technique is the most effective method of achieving ideal results for patients. When you decide to have a Kansas City breast implants with lift, Dr. Quinn will first consult with you to discuss this technique and the attractive, elevated results it can achieve.

ANCHOR TECHNIQUE

The end result is a lifted, visually-pleasing pair of breasts. Whether a patient wants to reduce breast tissue and lift the breast, or simply lift and reshape the breast tissue, this technique gives Dr. Quinn ideal access and ability to achieve a patient's desired outcomes. He will first make a vertical and a circumferential areola incision. He'll then make a third incision along the bottom of the breasts, creating an anchor shape. Kansas women who are experiencing severe sagging in their breasts can benefit greatly from this breast lift method, but it is also a good option for minor lifts as well. Incision scars will heal with proper care and be easily concealed.

Types

Types of Breast Implants

SILICONE

These are cohesive-gel breast implants filled with silicone gel, which feels most similar to natural breast tissue. Silicone implants are pre-filled with their gel material. This implant will give a more natural look and feel.

SALINE

These implants are slightly different than the silicone implant. Instead of being pre-filled, the shell is first inserted into the body empty. Then Dr. Quinn pumps the shell full of a saline solution. Saline solutions are comprised of sterile saltwater. The saline breast implant is firmer to the touch and results in a more augmented type of look.

The Procedure

The first step in your surgery will be to mark the spots on your skin where the surgeon plans to make an incision. These will be a guide for Dr. Quinn, and will reaffirm the desired results of the procedure with you. Once everything is ready, you'll be placed under anesthesia. Dr. Quinn will make an anchor incision in the breast, which will allow him to address breast sagging from the underside of the breast. Once excess tissue and skin are removed as necessary, the skin will be tightened to position the breasts in their ideal lifted shape, and the implant will be carefully placed within the breast.

Additional Reading

A breast lift with implants is an outpatient procedure. You will be monitored after your surgery by our trained medical staff to make sure you are recovering well from the anesthesia before you will be permitted to return home to begin you recovery. You will need to arrange for a friend or family member to drive you home after your procedure, as you will have limited arm mobility for 24 to 48 hours after your procedure and will still be feeling minor effects of the anesthesia.
