WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THIS COMBINED PROCEDURE?

Additionally, you should be in good mental and physical health, willing to quit smoking and vaping if you use nicotine products, and have realistic expectations.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING SURGERY
Breast lift with implants surgery is typically an outpatient procedure under performed under general anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout. The specific techniques used will depend on your unique anatomy and goals, but the process generally includes the following steps:
- Incision and lift: Hendrick will make carefully placed incisions to minimize visible scarring. The incision pattern depends on how much elevation is necessary according to your body shape and anatomy. Through these incisions, he will reposition your breast tissue to a higher position on your chest.
- Implant placement: Next, Dr. Hendrick will insert your chosen implants through the incisions, creating your desired volume and shape. Dr. Hendrick can place the implants above or below your chest muscle, depending on your preferences and his expert recommendations.
Closing the incisions: Finally, Dr. Hendrick will meticulously close your incisions with sutures and fit you with a specialized surgical bra to minimize swelling and speed healing.
RECOVERY TIMELINE AND AFTERCARE
After your breast lift with implants in New Orleans, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which you can manage by taking medication as directed. Most patients take about a week off from work to rest and recover. Here’s a general timeline of what to expect,
- First week: You will need to rest and limit your activities during this initial recovery phase. Swelling and bruising are typical and will gradually subside. You’ll continue wearing your surgical bra during this time to support your new breast contours.
- Second week: Most patients can return to work and light activities at this point, while avoiding strenuous exercise and heavy lifting. You may still experience some swelling, but it should be mild and easy to manage.
- Three to six months: Your ultimate outcome will reveal itself as swelling continues to decrease. You can gradually increase your activity level with clearance from Dr. Hendrick.
WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?
The results of your breast lift with implants will become fully apparent several months after your surgery, as swelling resolves and the breasts settle into their new position.
- Youthful shape and volume: Your breasts will be fuller and younger-looking, enhancing your figure and self-image.
- Natural results: Hendrick specializes in creating outcomes that complement your body frame.
- Long-lasting enhancement: While results may vary, and changes can occur due to aging and gravity, your improved breast contour will provide you with years of satisfaction.
CHOOSING IMPLANT SIZE AND TYPE
During your consultation, Dr. Hendrick will help you select the implant material, size and shape that align with your cosmetic goals.
- Saline vs. silicone: These materials are safe and effective options, each offering unique benefits. Saline implants come as empty shells, which Dr. Hendrick will fill with a sterile saltwater solution after insertion. Silicone implants are a cohesive gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue.
- Size: Hendrick will advise you on an implant size that complements your body type and aesthetic goals, ensuring a natural-looking result.
- Round vs. teardrop: Round implants create more fullness in the upper portion of the breast, while teardrop implants mimic the natural breast slope for a subtle enhancement.
