The structural mastopexy technique is a great leap forward for breast surgery. As I’ve developed the technique, I’ve expanded its use to a wide range of possibilities including: breast reduction, augmentation-mastopexy, and breast reconstruction.
A recent patient raised a question that commonly comes up in consultation: whether breast implants and a breast lift can be combined in a single surgery. A careful consideration of the patient’s breast structure, the type of surgical technique employed for a breast lift or mastopexy, and the patient’s state of health and well-being will guide us in our recommendation. Consultations for the combined surgery of a breast lift with breast implants are available for both our Chicago and Winnetka offices.
Structural Breast Lift (Mastopexy) is a technique developed by Dr. John Q Cook with advantages over other breast lift techniques. These advantages include deep structural anchoring to maintain the lift over the long term, the use of natural breast tissue to restore fullness in the upper portions of the breast, and a discrete location for the scars.
Natural looking breast augmentation enhances the appearance of the breast without sacrificing how the breast looks, feels, and moves. Patients considering breast surgery should know that a natural result comes from choices made by her surgeon in the operating room.
