Mommy Makeover Breast Enhancement and Augmentation

Breast enhancement surgery is often a component of a Mommy Makeover for women who want to not only lift their breasts but gain firmness and form. Mothers’ breasts, especially those who breast fed, will often lose breast tissue and see their breasts sag. Many women are satisfied with the results of a breast lift alone, but the choice is yours.

During your complimentary consultation you can visit with Dr. Greg Ratlliff about your individual needs. Dr. Ratliff has performed over 5,000 breast augmentation procedures and heads one of the top programs anywhere. He can give you expert advice concerning your specific needs and the potential benefits of augmentation surgery in accomplishing the results you want.

The Surgery:
The surgery itself usually takes an hour to complete. During the procedure, the breast tissue and skin is lifted to create a pocket either behind existing breast tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle. The implants are then centered beneath the nipples.

Care is taken to make the incisions in the least conspicuous area possible, such as in the crease where the breast meets the chest, around the areola or in the armpit. Dr. Ratliff will discuss these options with you prior to surgery.

Recovery:
Once you return home, you may be instructed to wear gauze dressing and a surgical bra during the first several days.

Your stitches will usually be removed in a week to 10 days, but the swelling in your breasts may take 3-5 weeks to disappear depending on the extent of the augmentation and/or lift. You may also experience a burning sensation in the nipples for about two weeks after surgery. This sensation will subside as the bruising fades.

Results:
Your breasts may be sensitive for several weeks. When swelling and irritation subside, your breasts will likely be larger and firmer. This results in a more youthful appearance that helps many moms achieve their pre-pregnancy appearance.
