Why is a natural breast augmentation, NBA, becoming more popular over the traditional breast augmentation using implants?
Due to recent media coverage and concerns surrounding Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), which is a rare type of lymphoma that can occur with textured silicone breast implants, women have become frightened that BIA-ALCL will happen to them.
Breast augmentation to go bigger is a frequent request of patients who have already undergone breast augmentation. The culprit for patients wanting their breast augmentation to go bigger is the first six weeks following their initial breast augmentation. During the first six weeks, the patient’s breasts are swollen from breast surgery.
The swelling can be quite dramatic and be 20% larger than their final size once their implants have settled down at three months following surgery. Unfortunately, patients may get accustomed to their larger size during the early postoperative period, and then disappointed when the swelling resolves.
A breast augmentation revision specialist should be a plastic surgeon who has a passion for breast surgery. Your breast augmentation revision doctor should demonstrate extensive surgical experience and possess the knowledge to discuss the various breast deformities with you.
Following a discussion of the various deformities and their causes, your breast augmentation revision doctor should design a customized surgical plan to correct all of your concerns and to achieve all of your desired goals. Your surgeon should make meticulous notes of your breast dimensions including your chest width, breast diameter, mound position, shape, and size.
Prior to surgery, patients are asked to have a diet that focuses on high protein foods such as red meat, chicken breasts, and eggs. A preoperative post-bariatric surgery diet should also be without fish as they are rich in fatty acids and may thin the blood prior to surgery.
SurgiSculpt asks his patients to have protein shakes between meals and to shoot for a daily goal of 150g of protein supplement per day.
For faster breast lift recovery, dressings will be placed around the surgical incisions. Over the dressings, an elastic bandage or support bra is wrapped around the torso and the breasts to aid in healing and offer support. Some dressing may need to stay in place for a few weeks until the incisions are healed. Sometimes, placement of a small drain is required near the incision site to collect any excess fluid or blood.
Drains would be removed about a week or two after surgery. Most patients are allowed to return to desk work after 1 week. The entire breast lift surgery recovery will take 4 to 6 weeks and SurgiSculpt recommends his patients get us and enjoy their new body 6 weeks after the procedure.

Breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure to improve the appearance and aesthetics of the breasts. This procedure can address the drooping of a patient’s breasts. Breasts may drop for several reasons including age, gravity, pregnancy, and genetics, which causes the breast mounds to drop and look “saggy”.
Choosing to get a breast lift is a life-changing decision. As such, we at SurgiSculpt try to provide our patients with all the information they require about breast lift risks to make an informed decision that they will not regret.
Breast lift risks range from minor side effects to major complications and a trained breast lift expert should be requested for your surgery. SurgiSculpt has performed hundreds and hundreds of breast lift procedures and has never had any major complications.
When researching where to get your breast lift, it is critical that you avoid the cheapest breast lifts. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a perfect surgery for patients looking to achieve a more youthful appearance. This surgery involves removing the excess breast skin that results in an unpleasant droopy look.
After the removal of the skin, the breasts are raised and the surrounding skin is tightened to provide the optimal breast contour. Breast lifts are perfect for patients looking to reduce the signs of aging in their breasts, resize their nipples, or create asymmetric breast contour.

Breast augmentation small implants refers to the surgery to remove current breast implants and to replace them with smaller implants. Patients who desire breast augmentation smaller are typically tired of their more generous breast size. Patients seeking breast augmentation are usually older and have experienced the discomfort that comes with h
Breast augmentation revision recovery can be as quick as one week for patients undergoing a simple implant removal and replacement. This is because the breast pocket is already defined and the scar lining called the capsule is already formed. Since the breast capsule is already formed, the implant cannot migrate since its final resting position is already defined.
For patients requiring capsule modification or breast pocket alteration, the breast capsule will be modified with either a release, partial excision of, or hemming out the scar tissue. Breast augmentation revision recovery for these patients requires two weeks in order to allow for the new breast pocket to be established.
