Breast Augmentation

Can You Combine Breast Augmentation and Liposuction?

Women may be self-conscious about the size of their breasts due to genetics, age, weight loss, pregnancy and more. Breast augmentation and liposuction in Torrance may increase women’s self-esteem and make them feel better about their appearance.

Women frequently seek breast augmentation to add fullness to their breasts. This procedure can be performed to improve breasts’ shape, size, or symmetry. Liposuction is a fat-removal surgery that permanently removes extra fat cells from a specific area.

Is it possible to combine liposuction with breast augmentation? Continue reading to learn all you need to know about these techniques and what they may do when used together.

Liposuction and Breast Augmentation in One Procedure

If you think it would help you accomplish your cosmetic objectives and are a good candidate for both procedures, you can undoubtedly combine liposuction and breast augmentation.

To be a suitable candidate for any cosmetic surgery, you must have realistic expectations about the preparatory process, the surgery itself, recovery, and outcomes.

Breast Augmentation: What Can You Expect?

Several procedures and incision patterns may be employed during breast augmentation, also known as breast enhancement, depending on your cosmetic goals.

The extent of this cosmetic procedure will be determined by the degree of augmentation desired, the incision patterns requested, and the implant type selected.

Techniques of Incision

There are different types of incisions, among them there are three common types: 

  1. Around the areola which hides the scar very well;
  2. In the fold under your breast, so they are not apparent to others; 
  3. In your armpit, the incision can only be seen when you raise your arms.

Dr. Rosso helps his patients through the process to make sure they have all the information needed to make the right choice. Afterwards, you will also obtain relevant information on how to take care of scars after the procedure to help you maximize your healing process after the surgery.

Procedure Duration 

A stand-alone breast enlargement treatment will take about one to two hours, depending on the incision style you pick. The duration of your surgery is mostly determined by whether the implant is put above or below the muscle. And, if you choose saline implants, whether they are filled during the process or in advance.

Silicone vs. Saline: What’s the Difference?

Silicone Implants

Silicone implants are made up of silicone shells filled with a silicone gel. Many women believe that they feel close to natural breasts.

Saline Implants 

Saline implants are the other common type of breast implants. A sterile saline solution is used to fill them. Women searching for low-maintenance implants may benefit from this choice.

If you choose a saline implant, they usually feel a bit firmer than the silicone ones.

Women all around the globe like saline implants because if the implant ruptures the saline solution is discharged and absorbed by the body.

Liposuction + Breast Augmentation Combination

Usually, women who choose to get a Liposuction and Breast Augmentation combination procedure want to add volume to their breasts while eliminating fat deposits from other parts of their bodies.  Although liposuction can be performed in almost any area of the body, it is common for women who choose breast augmentation to also do liposuction to contour their abdomen and eliminate their love handles.
