A Breast Implant Exchange with a lift is a combined surgical procedure which helps with increasing and/or restores size and shape by using saline or silicone implants combined with a breast lift.
Here are a few of the most common reasons why someone may elect to have a Breast Lift with Implants that could make you a good candidate.

Dr. Geers aims to minimize scarring to keep the original integrity of the breasts in tack. Your surgeon will determine the best incision point based on the patients over all individual body goals. This includes the size, type of implant, and placement based on existing breast tissue.
Scars from breast surgery incisions will fade within a few months and completely heal over time. We will work with you to minimize scaring to obtain the best possible results.
After this procedure patients tend to be tired and a bit store in the chest area for the first 2 to 5 days. Some bruising and swelling can occur, but usually subsides within the first 2 weeks or so. Some patients may also experience some increased tightness and sensitivity in the breast and the skin can feel itchy around the incision site. Your surgeon will prescribe some specific medications that will help with the discomfort and healing process.
