Combining Breast Procedures Proves to be Risk Free
June 14, 2007 - As the desire for breast augmentation continues to grow throughout the country having primary and secondary operations is becoming more common. Mastopexy, more commonly known as a breast lift, is becoming increasingly desirable for those in the baby boomer generation that want to preserve their youthful physical appearance. Getting both surgeries done at once is also popular with patients who want to alleviate operation costs and recovery time. A Peak Into Safety Research Although having two operations has been considered complicated and risky in the past, recent data shows that with advances in technology theres little evidence that combining breast implant surgery and a breast lift is harmful to patients. Dr. Grant Stevens and Dr. David Stoker analyzed the outcomes of 100 consecutive combined breast augmentation and breast lift surgeries performed between 1992 and 2005. In comparing the outcomes of those with the patients who simply got a breast lift done, the health and recovery time of all the patients appeared to be the same. We found that the 100 patients who had the secondary combination procedure experienced complication and revision rates very similar to those of the other two groups, said Dr. Stevens.
