Breast implants with a breast lift, also known as mastopexy with augmentation, is performed by Dr. Rafael Andres in Porto Alegre, Brazil. This combined surgery corrects sagging while adding volume to enhance the breast shape and cleavage. Dr. Rafael Andres is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery and has over 20 years of medical experience.
Dr. Rafael Andres uses specific methods to improve both the look and stability of the breasts. The surgery often includes a muscle loop technique, also called an internal bra, to support the new breast position. Patients can choose between submuscular or subglandular placement for their implants. The doctor uses a short scar technique, which involves incisions around the areola and a vertical line in an inverted T shape. This approach helps minimize scarring and helps the body heal faster.
The procedure uses cohesive silicone gel implants. These materials are stable and stay in place even if the outer shell ruptures. Unlike older models, these implants do not require mandatory replacement every 10 years. Instead, the need for replacement depends on clinical findings during regular check-ups. This makes the long-term maintenance of the surgery simpler for the patient.
Safety is a major focus at the clinic, starting with a full medical review. Every patient undergoes a bilateral breast ultrasound, a resting ECG, a cardiology assessment, and blood analysis before the operation. Patients traveling from abroad must follow a 72-hour rest rule after long flights before having surgery. The recovery timeline involves:
