Liposuction is the most popular of these procedures, and this operation can be performed in-office, using local anesthesia, or at a medical facility under a general anesthetic. Dr. W. Tracy Hankins and Dr. Samuel M. Sohn, our experienced [plastic surgeons](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgeon/), use a combination of ultrasonic, SmartLipo® laser-assisted, and traditional liposuction using the tumescent technique. Other body contouring procedures include tummy tuck surgery (including full abdominoplasty, circumferential body lifts, and mini abdominoplasty), arm lifts (brachioplasty), and thigh lifts. For patients seeking a way to make the buttocks look shapelier and fuller, we offer Brazilian butt lift and gluteal augmentation to enhance your derriere. We are pleased to be the preferred choice for many post-gastric bypass or LAP-BAND® System patients, and many local bariatric surgeons recommend our services. Drs. Hankins and Sohn have considerable skill in post-dramatic weight loss body contouring. Your needs and goals are unique, and our surgeons will customize a treatment plan that can provide the best possible result based on your desired outcome. ## Liposuction Reduce pockets of fatty tissue from virtually anywhere on the body with liposuction.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and gravity also can have an effect on the fullness and firmness of the breasts. Other common concerns include nipples that point downward or breasts that hang below the breast crease. A breast lift (medically referred to as mastopexy), is a breast augmentation procedure that can help to address these concerns. The Las Vegas Breast Lift Surgeons at Hankins and Sohn are Board Certified Plastic Surgeons specializing in personalized breast lift surgery for beautiful breast enhancement with natural-looking results. ## What is a Breast Lift? A breast lift is a cosmetic procedure that will both raise and shape the breasts to achieve a more youthful appearance. There are many different types of breast lifts available including breast lift in combination with breast reduction, and our board-certified [plastic surgeons](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgeon/) have extensive experience with the most advanced cosmetic surgery techniques available. Furthermore, they will tailor the procedure to suit you as an individual. During your initial consultation, they will analyze your breast shape, breast tissue, breast skin elasticity, and breast volume as well as the amount of excess skin. Depending on your anatomic needs and cosmetic goals, our surgeons may recommend a traditional lift or another approach. Patients who have lost volume or wish to increase their breast size may prefer to utilize [breast implants](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/implants/) in conjunction with the breast lift to obtain the desired shape and fullness, while those who desire more comprehensive body sculpting may opt for a breast lift as part of a mommy makeover. If you have additional questions, our friendly and knowledgeable medical team can help answer them. [Contact us today](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/contact-us/) for more information or to schedule a consultation. ![woman wearing a cutout tank top](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/mastopexy.jpg) ## Types of Breast Lifts ### Periareolar Lift The **periareolar** lift, also known as donut mastopexy, involves creating an incision encircling the areola, the pigmented area surrounding the nipple. This method is specifically employed for modest lifting requirements and can additionally reduce the diameter of the areola, enhancing its aesthetic appearance.1 ### Vertical Lift The lollipop mastopexy, also referred to as the **vertical lift**, is a frequently performed procedure at our clinic, enabling substantial reshaping and elevation of the breast. This technique results in a firmer, more shapely, and “perkier” breast appearance. Internal sutures are strategically placed and anchored to the chest wall to maintain the tissue in its lifted position. The incision is made around the areola and extends vertically down the breast, resembling the shape of a lollipop. Over time, the scars tend to flatten and fade, with the option for laser [skin resurfacing](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/skin-resurfacing/) to further minimize their visibility.2 ### Inferior Pedicle The **inferior pedicle**, also known as the anchor technique or Wise pattern, is a surgical method typically reserved for larger or more pendulous breasts. It results in an anchor-shaped scar, with incisions encircling the areola and extending vertically down the breast, along with a concealed scar along the breast fold. Renowned for its effectiveness, both surgeons and patients favor this technique for its high postoperative nipple and breast sensation retention 3. Your anatomy and desired results will dictate whether this procedure aligns with your needs. ### Lift with an Implant If your breasts are smaller than you desire, a [breast lift with implants](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/augmentation-lift/ "") can give you the additional volume you’re looking for, especially in the upper part of the breast 4. This is the area most affected by volume loss after nursing. It will also allow for increased projection and a shapelier, firmer bust. The implants are often placed below the muscle to allow good coverage over the implant and to help support it in the elevated position. ![woman lounging in a pool](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/woman-lounging-in-pool.jpg) ## Gallery ### Breast Lift Results Dr. Hankins and Dr. Sohn are dedicated to delivering breast lift results that are personalized to meet each patient’s expectations.

[View our Breast Lift Results](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/gallery/breast/breast-lift/) ## Breast Lift Recovery Depending on the specifics of your treatment plan, the surgery typically spans one to three hours. You will receive general anesthesia and can expect to go home on the same day. Prescription medication will be provided to help manage any discomfort. Following the procedure, it’s recommended to rest and recuperate at home for approximately one to two weeks before considering a return to work and normal activities, based on your comfort level. If breast implants were inserted, refrain from lifting anything heavier than five pounds for the initial two weeks. Moreover, avoid engaging in strenuous activities for at least a month, or as advised by our surgeons 5. While some swelling may persist for several months or longer, you should notice visible improvements almost immediately 6. ## Breast Lift Cost To help you find all the information you need to make an informed decision, we want to touch upon the price of breast lift surgery. Every treatment plan is customized to suit the patient’s needs and goals. As a result, the cost of a breast lift will depend on the unique details of your program. Once you and your plastic surgeon determine the approach you would like to use, our medical team will review with you the expected total cost, including the surgeon’s fee, surgical center facility fee, and anesthesiology fee. Since breast lift surgery is an elective procedure, healthcare insurance will not cover the cost; however, many [plastic surgery financing options](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/about/#financing "") are now available for individuals who would like to consider a payment plan. We are happy to assist you in finding the ideal reimbursement approach for your budget. ### Planning Your Breast Lip Procedure\* ![clock icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-1-hour-procedure.png) Average Procedure Time: 2 – 3 hours ![calendar icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-7-14-recovery-time.png) Average Recovery Time: 10 – 14 weeks ![doctor icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-post-op-consult.png) Post-Op Consultation: 2 months _\*Your treatment plan at Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates will be customized to meet your needs and your individual experience will vary depending on a number of factors.

Nonetheless, it’s common for patients to express curiosity about the eventual appearance of their incisions post-recovery. While complete elimination of surgical signs is unfeasible, these marks should gradually diminish over time, becoming less conspicuous. Our surgeons meticulously ensure minimal and inconspicuous incisions, typically positioned around the nipples and beneath the breasts. During your initial consultation, your plastic surgeon will discuss the placement of these incisions with you. Furthermore, to further mitigate scarring, we provide laser skin resurfacing treatment, which can enhance the final aesthetic outcome. [See Before & After Photos of Real Breast Lift Patients](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/gallery/breast/breast-lift/) ## How to Choose a Plastic Surgeon for a Breast Lift One of the pivotal decisions you’ll face is choosing the plastic surgeon to conduct your procedure. Besides ensuring that the surgeon is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery or Board-Eligible, it’s crucial to inquire about their expertise in performing breast lift surgery. At Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates, our extensively trained plastic surgeons perform thousands of procedures every year, helping many women achieve their cosmetic goals and restore their confidence. We also recommend reviewing a practice’s [breast lift before-and-after photos](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/gallery/breast/breast-lift/ "") to see what can be accomplished and what to expect. Ultimately, the consultation serves as the prime opportunity to familiarize yourself with a surgeon. Do they instill a sense of ease? Are they responsive to your inquiries and attentive to your concerns?

During your initial breast lift consultation, we will review your goals and discuss the possible ways of achieving them.

Candidates for breast lift surgery are women who have concerns with breast sagging, drooping, or deflated-looking breasts. Good candidates are those who are in general good health, who have realistic expectations, and do not smoke. - ### Will a breast lift surgery affect my ability to breastfeed? While a breast lift is a surgical procedure that does have the potential to impact the ability to breastfeed, our surgeons do everything possible to maintain the integrity of the nerves and ducts within the breasts to minimize any impact on breastfeeding. - ### Can I combine any other procedures with a breast lift? Yes, many women choose to include breast lift surgery as part of a more comprehensive body contouring and/or anti-aging treatment plan. This can include mommy makeover surgery or procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck, and Brazilian Butt Lift as well as facial rejuvenation procedures such as a facelift or fat transfer to the face. 1 Healthline.

Liposuction is an outpatient body contouring procedure that is designed to remove fat deposits from targeted areas like the hips, abdomen, or thighs. Liposuction can be performed to remove fat cells on virtually any area of the body to help sculpt and create a more flattering silhouette. Liposuction may also be performed for breast reduction or as a treatment for gynecomastia (male breast growth). Many types of liposuction are now available, including traditional tumescent liposuction, laser liposuction, and ultrasonic liposuction, and each offers unique benefits for the ideal candidate. ## Who Is a Good Candidate for Liposuction? If you are bothered by stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise, liposuction may be able to help you achieve your cosmetic goals. The liposuction procedure is not a method of weight loss or treatment for obesity, although it may allow you to reduce excess fat in “trouble” areas after you have reached your goal weight. Liposuction is also not a treatment for cellulite. Patients considering liposuction should be in good general health and have realistic expectations for the outcomes. During the initial consultation, our plastic surgeons will discuss your concerns and goals to arrive at a customized treatment plan. ![slim woman relaxing in a hammock](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/liposuction-candidates.jpg) ## Your Liposuction Consultation The best way to determine if liposuction fat removal is right for you, and to get answers to any questions about liposuction is to schedule a consultation appointment. During your initial consultation, Dr. Hankins or Dr. Sohn will assess your medical history and health as well as discuss your cosmetic goals and time constraints in order to explain which liposuction techniques may be suited to you. Each patient at our practice receives a personalized treatment plan that is optimized to achieve their desired results in the safest and most effective way possible. ### Planning Your Liposuction Procedure\* ![clock icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-1-hour-procedure.png) Average Procedure Time: 1 – 4 hours ![calendar icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-7-14-recovery-time.png) Average Recovery Time: 1 – 2 weeks ![doctor icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-post-op-consult.png) Post-Op Consultation: 8 weeks _\*Your treatment plan at Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates will be customized to meet your needs and your individual experience will vary depending on a number of factors. All information provided on this page is an estimate of typical time and cost and does not represent an offer or guarantee of pricing or availability. Please schedule a consultation appointment to discuss which options may apply to you._ ## Traditional Liposuction Medically referred to as tumescent liposuction, traditional liposuction uses a tube called a cannula to physically break up excess fat and remove fat cells via suction. This type of liposuction can be used on a wide range of targeted areas, and it may be the best approach for certain types of fatty tissue. Traditional liposuction may be performed under local or general anesthesia or mild sedation. During your consultation, Dr. Hankins or Dr. Sohn will inform you if they recommend this technique, and they will explain how it can optimize your results. ## Recovery From Liposuction Following your fat removal procedure, you should be able to return home the same day. Bruising, swelling, and tenderness in the treated area is normal, and we can provide prescription medication to help manage your pain. In many cases, you should be able to return to regular activity, depending on how strenuous your day-to-day duties are, in approximately seven days. If you combine liposuction with another cosmetic procedure, such as [tummy tuck surgery](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/body/tummy-tuck/) or [breast lift](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/lift/), your recovery may be extended. ![Man and woman on beach](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/liposuction-gallery.jpg) ## Gallery ### Liposuction Results Dr. Hankins and Dr. Sohn are dedicated to delivering Liposuction results that are personalized to meet each patient’s expectations. We will work with you to understand your vision and deliver natural-looking results that are as subtle or dramatic as you desire. [View our Liposuction Results](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/gallery/body/liposuction/) ## SmartLipo® SmartLipo® utilizes laser energy to help melt and remove fat cells, reduce bruising, and firm the skin all at once. Often performed under local anesthesia, SmartLipo® can reduce the amount of downtime associated with liposuction, allowing as little as two-to-three days off from work. Since the laser-assisted liposuction procedure can be completed while you are awake, it may be more cost effective than other modalities, depending on your unique treatment plan. Additionally, laser liposuction can help to tighten skin and improve skin elasticity, unlike traditional liposuction. ### SmartLipo® Liposuction Procedure Smartlipo® is a three-part operation. In the first phase, Dr. Hankins or Dr. Sohn will administer a diluted local anesthetic solution, which numbs the treatment area. The surgeon then uses the SmartLipo® device to gently heat the skin, melt fat, and cause tissue coagulation. Tissue coagulation can help to minimize swelling and bruising. Once the fatty tissue is softened, cannulas (small tubes) will be used to remove the fat and contour the treatment area. During your initial consultation, Dr. Hankins or Dr. Sohn will determine how much tissue can be removed based on your needs and goals. ### SmartLipo® Recovery After the surgery, you will need to wear compression garments on the treated area for about six weeks. A few stitches will be needed to close the small incisions used for the cannulas, and these sutures will be removed after approximately one week. While everyone heals at a different rate, most patients can return to work and normal activity two-to-seven days after the procedure. You may begin exercising after seven days, or when your surgeon suggests it is safe to do so. \*You should see significant enhancement in your body contour after about three or four weeks, with full effects visible after six months. _\*Individual Results May Vary_ ![woman having fun by a pool](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/liposuction-cover.jpg) ## VASER® LipoSelection® LipoSelection® by VASER® is an innovative system that utilizes ultrasonic waves to break up and liquefy excess fat in a targeted area without harming surrounding tissue. This lipoplasty technique is designed to achieve smooth, consistent results with less discomfort, bruising, and swelling than traditional tumescent liposuction. Additionally, it’s possible to contour smaller regions of the body, such as the neck or the ankles, removing a smaller amount of fat with great precision and natural-looking results. VASERlipo® can be performed using either local or general anesthesia, and your surgeon will determine which option better suits your treatment plan during your initial consultation. ### VASER® LipoSelection® Recovery After the procedure, you will have to wear compression garments for a short period of time to help achieve the desired result. Recovery following VASERlipo® will vary depending on your unique rate of healing, but some patients can return to work and light activity within a couple of days. It’s important to avoid strenuous activity for at least two-to-three weeks, or as long as your surgeon recommends. \*You should notice immediate improvement in the treated area, and your results will continue to improve over the next three-to-four months. _\*Individual Results May Vary_ ## Frequently Asked Questions About Liposuction - ### What Happens if I Gain Weight After Liposuction Surgery? Some minor fluctuations in weight are normal and should not affect your results; however, if more substantial weight gain occurs, you may experience changes in your body contour. The body fat may return to the treated areas, develop in an untreated area, or both. Everyone’s response to this event is unique. We recommend patients try to maintain a stable weight through diet and exercise. In fact, clinical studies show that exercising regularly after liposuction is important in order to maintain healthy fat distribution.1 In the event of weight gain, we may be able to address the concerns with a second procedure, if desired. - ### What Do Liposuction Scars Look Like? The fatty tissue is removed from the body using fine cannulas, or tubes, so the incisions are relatively small. The number and location of the incisions will depend on which areas you are treating. Most patients heal very well after this surgical procedure and the scars are usually unnoticeable, particularly under clothes. We take great care to minimize the visibility of scars and marks so you can be as comfortable and confident in the results as possible. - ### How Much Does Liposuction Cost? The price of liposuction will vary from person to person depending on their personalized treatment plan. Factors like the size of the area being treated, number of treated areas, and amount of tissue being removed will play a role, and we will go over all the details at your initial consultation. We believe you should have all the pertinent information at hand to make the best decision for you, which is why we will provide a detailed overview of all anticipated costs and answer any questions you might have. If you would like to consider plastic surgery financing to help pay for the procedure, we work with a number of reputable agencies that offer affordable rates to eligible applicants. - ### Are There Health Risks Associated With Liposuction? Any surgical procedure carries some risk of complications or side effects. Liposuction is the second most popular cosmetic procedure in the U.S.3 Potential risks include bleeding, infection, blood clots, fluid accumulation, change in sensation, contour irregularities, and the risks associated with general anesthesia.4 The highly experienced surgeons at Hankins & Sohn adhere to the highest patient safety standards. - ### Are There Alternatives to Liposuction? If you are not a candidate for a liposuction procedure or prefer a minimally invasive option to address excess body fat we offer a range of non-surgical body contouring techniques, including [CoolSculpting](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/body-contouring/coolsculpting/). You cannot achieve the same degree of fatty tissue reduction using these methods as you would with liposuction; however, they can be useful in reducing the size of “trouble” spots on many areas of the face and body without the downtime associated with surgery. We can discuss these treatments during your first meeting as well. ## Why Choose Hankins & Sohn for Liposuction in Las Vegas?

Children in particular may be subjected to cruel taunts about this feature from other kids. Fortunately, ear surgery (otoplasty) can help to address many common concerns, including the size, shape, and angle of the ears. Both younger and older patients can benefit from this procedure, which typically has a very high satisfaction rate. At Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates, our Board Certified [Plastic Surgeons](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgeon/ "plastic surgeon las vegas") can help you (or your child) achieve an outcome that enhances your appearance and improves your confidence.1 To learn more about ear reshaping and ear pinning surgery, please contact our Las Vegas plastic surgery practice today. We can answer your questions or help you to schedule a consultation with our experienced plastic surgeons. ## Ear Surgery Candidates Generally speaking, patients should wait until the ear structures have matured before undergoing otoplasty, which usually occurs by age five or six. While cartilage can continue growing throughout life, the increase in size should be minimal after this point. Besides age, factors that determine candidacy include the desire to change the prominence, shape, or size of the ears. During your initial consultation, you can discuss your goals with our skilled surgeon, who will determine if this approach is right for you.2 ## Ear Pinning and Reshaping Procedure Every treatment plan is customized to suit the unique anatomic needs and cosmetic goals of the individual. General anesthesia is often used with younger children while local anesthesia may be sufficient for older children and adults. To address prominent ears, typically a small incision will be made in the natural fold behind the ear. Sutures will then be placed to adjust the shape of the cartilage. Depending on the anatomy, it may be necessary to remove a small section of cartilage to adjust the ear angle closer to the head. Excess skin also can be trimmed while the cartilage is reshaped as needed to help achieve the desired outcome. Permanent or temporary stitches may also be utilized to hold the ears closer to the head.3 ![young attractive man](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/otoplasty-recovery.jpg) ## Ear Surgery Recovery Experience The recovery experience following ear surgery will depend largely on the technique used during the procedure. In most cases, downtime should be minimal. Older children and adults should be able to return to work within a few days. Younger children, however, may need a few extra days to recover. It’s important for young patients to understand that the ears will be healing for a while, and they should be monitored during play to avoid the risk of injury. A headband may be worn during the daytime for up to a week, and at night for several weeks, to help preserve the results. Any further instructions pertinent to your unique experience will be provided during your consultation and at follow-up appointments. ### Planning Your Otoplasty Procedure\* ![clock icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-1-hour-procedure.png) Average Procedure Time: 1 – 2 hours ![calendar icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-7-14-recovery-time.png) Average Recovery Time: 1 week ![doctor icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-post-op-consult.png) Post-Op Consultation: 8 weeks _\*Your treatment plan at Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates will be customized to meet your needs and your individual experience will vary depending on a number of factors.

While the best way to learn if ear surgery is appropriate is to speak with one of our skilled surgeons, we recognize that most patients complete a great deal of research before coming in. We hope the following serves as a useful resource. If you have additional questions, or if you are ready to schedule a consultation, please contact our practice. - ### What are the benefits of ear pinning surgery? The primary purpose of ear surgery is to enhance the appearance of the outer ear area and to set the ears in a position where they sit closer to the head. Many children are born with ears that are overly large or angled in such a way as to draw unwanted attention to them. Ear surgery is designed to correct these cosmetic issues. In addition to a more aesthetically appealing outcome, ear surgery can also enhance a person’s confidence. Many people feel self-conscious about the size, shape, or prominence of their ears, and they may even be teased by their peers, particularly school-aged children. Once complete, this procedure may boost your self-esteem. - ### What will ear pinning scars look like? The incision is typically placed on the back of the ear, often within the natural fold where the ear meets the head. Once healed, the scar is usually unnoticeable, and if you have longer hair it’s even more inconspicuous. Some techniques require multiple incisions, although great care is taken to make the result as natural-looking as possible. Our surgeons will go over the treatment plan in detail so you can be prepared for the outcome. - ### How much does ear surgery cost? As with all cosmetic procedures, the price of ear pinning surgery will vary depending on the unique details of your treatment plan. We customize every surgical program to best suit the individual needs, characteristics, and desired outcome of the patient. To help you become well-informed and make the best decision for you, we will provide a detailed overview of the expected full cost of treatment at your consultation. We also work with [plastic surgery financing](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/about/#financing "About the Practice") companies that can provide appealing terms for qualified applicants. - ### Is there an age limit for ear surgery? We recommend waiting until a child’s ear cartilage has finished developing before considering the surgery, which is usually around the age of five or six. There is no upper age limit for ear surgery, and we routinely treat adults with prominent ears. The most important factor for all potential patients is that they are in good overall health and that they have reasonable expectations for the result. ## Schedule Your Ear Pinning Consultation If you have additional questions about ear surgery or if you would like to schedule a consultation with a member of our Las Vegas plastic surgery team, please [contact us](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/contact-us/) today. 1 Nazarian R, Eshraghi AA.

In addition, there may be associated psychological issues that affect one’s self-image and self-esteem. The breast reduction procedure is designed to alleviate these problems by removing excess breast tissue, providing physical relief, improving the aesthetic appearance of the breasts and overall quality of life. If you are wondering about breast reduction, Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates can provide you with a better understanding of the procedure itself, including when to consider breast reduction, the manners in which it is performed, and the type of result that can be expected. During your initial consultation, our [Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgeon/), Dr. Hankins and Dr. Sohn will discuss your concerns and goals and develop a customized treatment plan with surgical techniques that take into account your unique needs.

Breast reduction, also referred to as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of overly large breasts by removing unwanted tissue and skin to create a more manageable and comfortable breast size. This is done for functional as well as cosmetic purposes, and many patients discover a renewed sense of self-confidence once their breasts have been modified to better suit the proportions of their body and their lifestyle. If you’re bothered by the size and weight of your breasts for psychological and/or physical reasons, a breast reduction may be able to address these concerns.1,2 ## Benefits of Breast Reduction Reduction mammaplasty is a cosmetic surgery with many benefits, including: - Reduces the size of excessively large breasts - Minimizes breast asymmetry - Improves breast shape - Removes sagging or excess skin for firmer and more youthful looking breasts - Reduces or eliminates shoulder pain and self-consciousness caused by heavy breasts - Reduces or eliminates skin irritation and divots from bra straps - Can be combined with other breast augmentation procedures such as breast implants ## Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Reduction? Breast reduction is an operation that is typically performed to relieve discomfort brought on by large, pendulous breasts. The physical complaints brought on by oversized breasts often interfere with the patient’s daily activities, cause pain, and limit their ability to function normally. The procedure typically will be performed after the breasts are fully developed. In select cases, however, it can be completed earlier if the breasts are severely interfering with the woman’s lifestyle or causing extreme physical discomfort. Regardless of the age that a patient is prior to a reduction, ideal candidates will be mature enough to understand the surgery and its potential risks, and they will have realistic expectations about the postoperative result.3 ## Breast Reduction Risks Our plastic surgeons have an excellent track record of patient safety. As a surgical procedure, it’s important to know breast reduction does come with some risk. During your initial consultation, our surgeons will discuss the details of your singular treatment plan and help you to become well informed about all aspects of the procedure. Additionally, they will address any concerns you may have and answer your questions as they arise. At Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates, we pride ourselves on our frank discussion with patients regarding surgical procedures, options, and the reality of the achievable postoperative result. ![woman doing yoga](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/breast-reduction.jpg) ## Planning Your Breast Reduction Procedure During your initial breast reduction consultation, we will complete a thorough review of your medical history and perform a physical exam to properly evaluate the best surgical approach for your needs. Some of the physical concerns that can affect the technique used include quality of the skin, previous breast surgeries, age, position and size of the nipple, and overall breast size and width. There are several breast reduction options available, and we will customize treatment to optimize your result. Breast reductions are performed under general anesthesia, provided by our board certified anesthesiologists. You will be asleep throughout the entire procedure. Surgeries are performed at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center or at Flamingo Surgery Center (Eastern and Flamingo), on an outpatient basis. ## Preparing For Your Surgery Depending on your physical condition and medical history, you may be required to undergo a mammogram prior to breast reduction surgery. Other testing, such as an electrocardiogram, chest X-rays, or another preoperative evaluation, may also be requested. Laboratory work will need to be completed prior to surgery, to ensure that you are not anemic. Our medical team will ensure that you receive proper instructions on how to prepare for surgery, including information on eating, drinking, smoking, and taking medications and/or herbal supplements. As this is an outpatient surgery, you will need to arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure, and you may need assistance at home for several days afterwards. ![attractive woman in red bra](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/woman-in-red-bra.jpg) ## Breast Reduction Process There are several prominent techniques for breast reduction, but two procedures most commonly performed by our surgeons are the Vertical or Short-Scar Technique, or the anchor or Wise pattern technique. These approaches involve the use of an incision around the areola, as well as an incision extending vertically down the breast, creating a “lollipop” shape for the vertical reduction. A full “anchor-pattern” incision may need to be used, which will utilize the former two incisions and adds a horizontal incision in the breast fold. This may be necessary for extremely large breasts, and to allow the physician to achieve an aesthetically pleasing shape while removing enough breast tissue and skin to effect a positive change. Through these access incisions, our surgeons will remove excess fat, skin, and breast tissue, and move the nipple and areola up into a higher position. [Liposuction](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/body/liposuction/) may also be utilized to remove breast and fatty tissue from isolated areas, including the armpits or lateral breast. Almost all sutures used during surgery will be dissolvable, so there will be no stitches to remove afterwards. ## Breast Reduction Recovery Process After the procedure, you will be wrapped in an ACE bandage. In very rare cases, drains may be placed within the breast tissue. If so, they are typically removed within the first 24-48 hours. Some discomfort for the first several days is normal, and these effects can last a week or more. To enhance your experience, we will provide prescription pain medication to help maintain your comfort. You will follow-up in our office within the first 24-48 hours, and at this time we will remove the bandage, inspect the suture lines, and rewrap you in a support bra. The bra should be worn 24-hours a day for 4-6 weeks following surgery, except for when you need to shower or for other hygiene reasons, until the swelling mostly resolves. You may have significant bruising and swelling after surgery, which will gradually fade over the course of the recovery process. You can typically shower 24-48 hours after surgery. Some loss of sensation in the nipples is also normal. While some patients may lose feeling in this area permanently, in most cases sensitivity should return over time. ### Getting Back to Normal After the immediate postoperative period, you should avoid any heavy lifting or engaging in strenuous activities for four weeks. We do encourage you to be lightly active, however. Most patients are able to return to work or their social schedule in about two weeks, but this is dependent on your activity levels. Exercise should be limited to stretching, bending, and light activity until your energy levels return and your stamina increases. During this period, you will need a good athletic bra for support. Sexual contact should be avoided for a period of six weeks after surgery, as arousal may cause your incisions to swell, and there may be increased and painful sensitivity to the breasts as a result. Crusting or small amount of drainage from the incisions is normal after surgery; however, if you have any unusual symptoms, such as increased or severe pain, bleeding, or abnormal swelling, do not hesitate to contact our doctors for evaluation. ![woman wearing black lingerie](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/woman-lingerie.jpg) ## Gallery ### Breast Reduction Results Dr. Hankins and Dr. Sohn are dedicated to delivering breast reduction results that are personalized to meet each patient’s expectations. [View our Breast Reduction Results](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/gallery/breast/breast-reduction/) ## FAQs About Breast Reduction ### How Visible Will the Breast Reduction Scars Be? The majority of the soft tissue swelling and bruising should improve within the first few weeks. However, it may be up to a year before your breasts settle into their final expected shape. Even after this period of time, the shape of the breasts can still fluctuate in response to changes in your weight, pregnancy, or hormones. Your back or neck pain, or other physical complaints, should be greatly improved after the surgery. Although we try to make the incisions as inconspicuous as possible, the scars will be permanent, and they may remain red and visible for a year or more. Eventually, as the scars mature, they become less noticeable. We also offer [laser skin resurfacing](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/skin-resurfacing/) options to further reduce the appearance of these marks. Breast reduction patients are often very pleased with the improvements achieved via breast reduction surgery. Not only can it help you look better in your clothes, you should also have improved breast proportion and shape. We encourage you to be patient during the healing process and give yourself the time you need to acclimate to the new you. ### How Much Does a Breast Reduction Cost in Las Vegas?

Personally I almost felt bad for coming in a second time, as I felt I should have clarified all of that during my first appointment, but he was super patient and answered all my questions. He also makes sure there is nothing else I need from him before he leaves, and I really appreciate that. I love my results and everyone always tells me they’re perfect! Also, everyone at the office has always been kind, nonjudgmental and professional. I appreciate the office isn’t ‘stuffy’ and the staff is personable. I really appreciate the care I have received, from the receptionist to the Doctor. I also have to say thank you for how welcoming everyone was even when I had to bring my three year old with me. Although it is not ideal, there were times I had to bring her along to some of my appointments and everyone was so kind. They showered her with attention and goodies. This is honestly pretty rare in doctor’s offices, and I really appreciate you all! ![](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Group-564-1024x194.jpg) **Dr. Hankins and his staff are amazing,** I was skeptical when looking around for a surgeon – I had already had a bad surgeon and I was terrified of going through another experience. When I came to my consult I was so nervous and didn’t even want to explain what I had already been through, Dr. Hankins’ staff was very patient and listened and his smile when he walked in the door made me feel like he liked his job he sat down and talked to me he didn’t rush through his consult which shocked me after dealing with over 18 surgeons in a year. He explained my options to fix my body and went above and beyond that once he gave me a plan to remove the scars the other doctor had left and repair the damage to my right breast he then said how do you want to look when your done? I was amazed he was not only trying to fix the damage but asking what my original goal was. I carefully considered working with him and his staff and over the last 9 months, I can say I would recommend him to anybody! He and his staff were there through the entire procedure before and afterwards. They not only allowed me to regain my body image but also my faith and trust in the medical field. If you are considering surgery this is the doctor and staff you want to work with, they are priceless. _K.S_ Las Vegas, NV ![](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Group-564-1024x194.jpg) I think everyone in the office was very patient and knowledgeable. **Dr. Hankins was absolutely the best physician I’ve been in contact with.** He never made me feel like I needed more “work” than I was asking for. Very professional, truly a great experience! _A.P._ ![](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Group-564-1024x194.jpg) **I am so happy with my liposuction results.** I have always been a small person and have only had a few areas that I would have liked to improve but have been unable to achieve this through exercise and dieting. Dr. Hankins told me since I was so small I should only expect subtle results, however these were exactly what I wanted and I am very pleased with the outcome. I only wish I had done it sooner. _C.V._ ![](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Group-564-1024x194.jpg) I wanted you to know just how much my liposuction has changed my life. Before the surgery, I had a hard time buying pants that would fit over my hips. I hadn’t worn shorts in 11 years and in a swimsuit I always had something covering up my lower half. Now, after my surgery, I can’t wait to get dressed in the morning! I went out and bought 10 pairs of shorts for the summer and I have a hard time finding pants that don’t fit me! My self confidence has exploded… my husband says it is like being married to a different person. Four months after my surgery he took me to the Dominican Republic to test the new me… I never took off my swimsuit!… Thank you so much for your honesty, compassion and skill. **You have truly changed my life.** _H.F._ ![](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Group-564-1024x194.jpg) I was 45 lbs overweight and after losing the weight there were some areas that I just couldn’t get to budge. When I started telling people that I was considering liposuction, I was shocked to hear how many of them had already visited . They all had such wonderful things to say, so I knew I needed to book an appointment. ![](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Group-564-1024x194.jpg) During my consultation I was very nervous because this would be my first surgery. They took lots of extra time with me explaining my choices. I was amazed at how well they relaxed me and made me feel calm and comfortable. In addition to traditional liposuction, they used a laser to smooth the area and tighten my skin. ![](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Group-564-1024x194.jpg) After surgery my skin was soft and smooth; it was better than I could ever imagine. I could never have achieved that look on my own. I feel amazing about my body today. My confidence has gone through the roof! It is so empowering! _Liza_ ![](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Group-564-1024x194.jpg) “I truly thank Dr. Hankins for this opportunity to feel beautiful again after having babies – Also I appreciate that Dr. Hankins didn’t make my implants too big – **Thank you so much for your patient ear Dr. Hankins!**” ![](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Group-564-1024x194.jpg) My husband and I wanted you to know how pleased we are with our procedures. You have changed my life in such a positive way. My self-esteem is high and now I can wear clothes that I have not been able to wear in such a long time. I walk with my head up high instead of hanging low ashamed of what I use to look like. I love showing off my stomach and my husband even pays attention to me more than what he used to. I show off my incision/scar too without hesitation. It’s funny, but I am not afraid to drop and undo my pants a little bit to show someone how good my scar and tummy looks. You have helped my husband too! He has worn XL shirts for so long and now hen he puts them on, they are so baggy and loose on him. We both feel so good about each other and it is all because of you! You are not only the best at what you do, but you are a caring person too. To us, that means a lot. I was so impressed that you called me back instead of one of your nurses when I had questions before my procedure. You don’t find too many doctors like that. We brag about you and your staff all the time! We can’t THANK YOU enough for changing our lives!!! ![](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Group-564-1024x194.jpg) **I am very happy with my results.** They turned out better than I expected! I also appreciated the telephone call from Dr. Hankins after the surgery to check on me instead of leaving it to a nurse! ![](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Group-564-1024x194.jpg) **I am in love with my result.** I couldn’t be happier. _J.F._ ![](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Group-564-1024x194.jpg) **Dr. Hankins is the best surgeon ever!** _D.S._ LasVegas, NV ![](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Group-564-1024x194.jpg) Dr. Sohn is amazing, he definitely knows his work and takes pride. He made me feel comfortable and safe throughout my whole experience.

Thank you! _D.Z._ ![](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Group-564-1024x194.jpg) **Thank you guys for all your help with everything.** You guys are completely amazing and helped me with every question I had and even called to check up on me right before we left for the surgery and called me a little after surgery as well. _M.S._ ![](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Group-564-1024x194.jpg) I had my Breast augmentation done by Dr. Hankins on May 6 2020. **Dr. Hankins and his staff have been wonderful to me.** Bambi was absolutely amazing and sweet.

I am so happy with the results already. Dr. Sohn and his staff have been wonderful to me and I’m so happy I finally went through with it. **Dr. Sohn is thorough and to the point.** I love that about him.

Due to its central location, the nose can have a significant impact on the overall appearance of the face. Nose reshaping surgery, known as rhinoplasty or colloquially as a “nose job”, can help to modify the size, shape, and angle of the nose so that it harmonizes with the other facial features. Rhinoplasty can also correct and repair functional issues, such as breathing difficulties in addition to achieving a more aesthetically appealing look. Our Las Vegas Rhinoplasty Specialists, [Board Certified Plastic Surgeons](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgeon/), Dr. Hankins and Dr. Sohn utilize the latest techniques to address a comprehensive range of simple and complex nasal concerns. If you’re dissatisfied with your nose for cosmetic reasons or functional concerns caused by trauma, chronic sinus issues, or birth defects, our plastic surgery practice may be able to help.

Beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and what may be flattering and appealing to one person may not be so for another. Respecting the differences that make each race and ethnicity unique allows our surgeons to offer plastic surgery procedures that achieve natural-looking results while enhancing the appearance and function of this area. ## Revision Rhinoplasty If you had rhinoplasty performed by another surgeon and are dissatisfied with the results, our plastic surgeons can often If you had rhinoplasty performed by another surgeon and are dissatisfied with your new nose, our plastic surgeons can often enhance your outcome through a secondary procedure called revision rhinoplasty. This surgical procedure may also be used if insufficient improvement in breathing is attained in the primary rhinoplasty operation. Revision rhinoplasty tends to be considerably more complex than the first surgery, which is why it is essential to choose a plastic surgeon with the skill and artistic vision to achieve the desired outcome. Our surgeons are extensively trained and have decades of experience performing primary and secondary rhinoplasty.1 ## Choosing a Rhinoplasty Surgeon Nose surgery is a delicate and complex operation, and selecting a qualified and capable plastic surgeon to perform the procedure is an important part of achieving the desired outcome. Plastic surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, like Dr. Hankins and Dr. Sohn have extensive training in performing facial plastic surgery. To remain board-certified, they are required to complete continuing education courses to ensure they are familiar with the latest techniques and technology. This is designed to enhance patient safety and results. We also encourage patients considering this procedure to review a prospective surgeon’s [rhinoplasty before-and-after photo gallery](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/gallery/face/rhinoplasty/). By examining what the physician can accomplish, you will develop a better understanding of their skill and whether they can help you in your goals. ![pretty blonde woman wearing red lipstick](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/rhinoplasty-procedure.jpg) ## Rhinoplasty Procedure Rhinoplasty surgery is a highly precise surgery performed under general anesthesia that requires extensive training, abundant experience, and an artistic eye to achieve optimal results. Your needs and goals will be unique to you, and our plastic surgeons will discuss your plans during the initial consultation to form a clear idea of your desired outcome. Dr. Hankins and Dr. Sohn can address a multitude of concerns, including dorsal humps, nasal bridge width, nostril size, nasal tip angle, nose height, deviated septum, any asymmetry, and more. Our surgeons also recognize that men and women often have different aesthetic goals. We make every effort to ensure your final result flatters you, and your care, comfort, and results are our highest priorities. There are multiple rhinoplasty techniques available, including “open” and “closed” approaches. An open method involves creating an incision in the columella, which is the skin that separates the two nostrils. This option provides more direct access to the internal structures including the nasal bones and the nasal tissues and is indicated should any cartilage grafts be necessary. Closed rhinoplasty typically has no external incisions and can result in less swelling; however, it’s not appropriate for every patient. Our surgeons will inform you which treatment can give you the best result possible, and they can help guide your final decision. ## Rhinoplasty Recovery Nose reshaping surgery typically will be an outpatient procedure, and rhinoplasty patients can usually return home soon after the operation. It’s important for you to keep your head elevated for the first two weeks after nasal surgery, and you can use several stacked pillows to help provide the right amount of lift when lying down. You should also take time off from work and regular activities for about 7-14 days, or as long as the surgeon recommends. Strenuous activity should be avoided for at least a month, and perhaps longer depending on whether the type of recreation could lead to a nasal injury. You will likely experience significant bruising and swelling on the face for the first two-to-four days, which should subside quickly after that point. We can provide pain medication to alleviate any discomfort. You can expect to return for a follow-up appointment one week following surgery. During this appointment, your surgeon will check your healing progress and remove any sutures or splints placed during the procedure. Some patience will be necessary during the healing process to ensure your outcome is as discussed. Within a month of surgery, however, your nose should look more refined and the new contours will be closer to the final result.  Although some minor swelling may continue to resolve over the next year, this may or may not be noticeable to you. ### Planning Your Rhinoplasty Procedure\* ![clock icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-1-hour-procedure.png) Average Procedure Time: 1 – 2 hours ![calendar icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-7-14-recovery-time.png) Average Recovery Time: 2 weeks ![doctor icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-post-op-consult.png) Post-Op Consultation: 8 weeks _\*Your treatment plan at Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates will be customized to meet your needs and your individual experience will vary depending on a number of factors.

[View Our Rhinoplasty Results](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/gallery/face/rhinoplasty/) ## Frequently Asked Questions About Rhinoplasty We know you likely have many questions about rhinoplasty, so our surgeons have answered some of the more common ones to help you in your research. If you would like additional information on rhinoplasty or any other cosmetic procedure we offer, or if you’re ready to schedule a consultation, please contact our office. - ### What are the pros and cons of rhinoplasty? Nose surgery is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic enhancement procedures. This technique is designed to enhance the cosmetic appearance of the nose, and can also be used to improve breathing function. Rhinoplasty can modify the size and shape of the nose in many ways, including changing the width of the bridge, addressing humps or bumps, altering the angle of the tip, reducing or expanding the size of the nostrils, and several other features. During your initial consultation, our doctors will discuss your goals and evaluate your needs to develop a customized treatment plan.2 - ### Can rhinoplasty improve my breathing problems? Absolutely. Rhinoplasty is often used to address breathing problems and issues with congestion that may be caused by a patient’s anatomy. This technique is sometimes called septoplasty, as it often requires modifying the wall that separates the two nostrils, which is called the septum. A deviated septum can cause a blockage in one or both nasal passages, leading to difficulties breathing and other concerns. Our team can determine if a deviated septum or another condition is affecting your ability to breathe and take that into consideration when devising your treatment plan.3 - ### How much does rhinoplasty cost? The price of rhinoplasty will vary based on the details of your individualized treatment plan. Factors like the complexity of the procedure, whether this is a primary or secondary surgery, and other considerations will play a role in the final cost. To help you make the best decision for your lifestyle and budget, we will provide a detailed breakdown of the estimated cost for your treatment. Not every practice does this, so be sure and ask what is included in any quote you receive. As an additional service, we also offer plastic surgery financing options to make payment as simple and convenient as possible. - ### What will rhinoplasty scars look like? Most patients heal very well after nose surgery, and many find the scars unnoticeable. The location of the incision will depend on whether you have an open or closed procedure. If the technique used is a closed one, you may not have any visible scars. Open rhinoplasty uses an incision on the fleshy bridge between the nostrils to gain access to the internal structures. This, too, should heal to the point that the average person likely would not notice the mark. To further enhance the result, our practice offers laser skin resurfacing to help minimize the appearance of an operation. ## Schedule A Consultation For Rhinoplasty For more information on nose reshaping, or if you would like to schedule a rhinoplasty consultation in Las Vegas with Dr. Hankins or Dr. Sohn, please contact our office. 1 Bouaoud J, Loustau M, Belloc JB.

Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates is one of the largest users of implants in the US, which results in our board-certified [plastic surgeons’](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgeon/) extensive knowledge and experience with the implant procedure. Before selecting your implants, Dr. Hankins or Dr. Sohn will perform a physical examination to determine which options and surgical techniques are best suited for your unique body type. Depending on your goals, breast implant surgery can be combined with other procedures, such as a [breast lift,](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/lift/) to better achieve your desired results. Each of our [breast enhancement](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/) patients receives a treatment plan for a surgical procedure that is completely tailored to their personal preference and designed to provide the best possible outcome. For more information about breast implants with our Las Vegas providers or to schedule a consultation, please contact our office today. ## Saline vs. Silicone Implants Breast implants are medical devices used in cosmetic surgery to enhance the size and shape of the natural breasts. Both silicone and saline breast implants can provide great results – it all depends on your unique needs and your individual goals. In your consultation, you will receive a thorough explanation of how each type can enhance your breast volume and appearance. There are several differences between saline and silicone implants, and understanding the pros and cons of each can help you decide on the best type for you.1 ![](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/breast-implants.jpg) ### Saline Implants Saline implants are filled with a sterile saltwater (saline) solution with an outer silicone implant shell. One advantage of saline implants is the smaller incision that is typically required for insertion. Since the implants are deflated before placement, our surgeons are able to fill them with the saline solution after they are under the breast tissue. To help reduce the risk of rippling that can potentially occur with saline implants, our surgeons may fill the silicone shells to a higher volume that is still within the manufacturer’s specifications. In the rare event an implant ruptures, the harmless saline solution will leak out, making it easy to detect the problem and correct it with a [breast revision](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/implant-revision/). ### Silicone Implants Our surgeons use the most advanced type of form-stable gel in their silicone breast implants, also known as “gummy bear” implants, which provide a more natural feel. They are the type of implants most of our patients prefer. However, they are more expensive than saline implants, and breast augmentation patients must be 22 years of age or older to be eligible. [Breast reconstruction](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/reconstruction-cancer/) patients can be of any age. Although they have a lower breast implant rupture rate than saline implants, silicone gel-filled implants make it difficult, if not impossible, to detect a leakage problem or silent rupture should it occur. Since the gel doesn’t leak from its shell, the FDA recommends patients get frequent mammograms, with the first one at five years post-surgery and thereafter every two to three  years. Both saline and silicone implants have an average lifespan of approximately 15 years. ## Selecting an Implant Size The volume of your implants will be established during your initial consultation. Although it is helpful when patients come with a cup size in mind, the implant size must be translated into milliliters (CCs) for a more accurate measurement. Since there is no standard measurement for bra cup sizes, this assessment tends to be somewhat inaccurate, as it will vary among manufacturers. Our plastic surgeons find it most helpful when patients try the different implant sizes during the consultation. By seeing the implants under a form-fitting shirt, patients are able to visualize how many CCs they desire in their final result. Most women tend to choose what equates to a C or D cup, but we are comfortable using a wide range of implant sizes. To get a general idea of how CCs translate to cups, an average woman with an A or B cup will typically see a 1 cup size increase for every 200 CCs. Depending on your build, the cup size to CCs ratio will change. A natural-looking result often can be achieved through several sizes, and the final decision depends upon how you feel about the volume levels as you try them on. It’s important for you to be confident in your treatment plan, and we are committed to helping you select a size with which you will be happy. ## Techniques for Implant Placement Breast implants can be surgically placed in the chest using several different incisions during a breast augmentation procedure. From the inframammary incision that runs along to breast crease, the periareolar incision that runs along the bottom half of the areola, and transaxillary (armpit) incision, there are a variety of surgical approaches. Depending on your unique build, our surgeons may recommend one method over another. If there is more than one technique that can help you reach your cosmetic enhancement goals, then the decision will ultimately be up to your personal preference. Our surgeons are more than happy to extend their knowledge about the various pros and cons of each.2 Las Vegas Breast Augmentation Part 3 - Submusclar vs Subglandular Implant Placement - YouTube HankinsSohnPS 154 subscribers [Las Vegas Breast Augmentation Part 3 - Submusclar vs Subglandular Implant Placement](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED0ZLIYaAoc) HankinsSohnPS Search Info Shopping Tap to unmute If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device.

As a result, recovery tends to be easier. However, since there is less tissue covering the implant, there is more of a chance that you can see and feel the implant. If you have a lower nipple position and are concerned about the appearance after an implant is placed, this approach may be warranted. The subglandular approach can lift the nipple, possibly eliminating the need for an additional breast lift surgery. The results tend to be a full, round lower breast area. A downside to this approach, however, is that there is an increased risk of scar tissue forming around the implant, also known as capsular contracture, creating a hardened feel or distorted appearance of the implant. In addition, depending on your anatomy, there may be a less full upper pole of the breast with this approach. ### Submuscular Approach More often, the submuscular approach will be recommended, which places the implant under the chest wall or pectoralis muscle. With the extra tissue covering the implant, the breast tends to look more natural and has a gentler slope. This approach is especially beneficial to thinner patients who have less tissue available to cover an implant. The addition of muscle covering the implant lessens the risk of feeling the implant, also known as palpability, as well as the occurrence of capsular contracture and of implant malposition. ### Dual Plane With the dual plane approach, the implant is placed partially under both the pectoralis muscle and the breast tissue. Generally, the upper half of the implant is covered by muscle, and the lower is only under the breast tissue. Like the submuscular approach, this technique has lower risks and can give a more natural-looking slope to the breast. In the end, a consultation with one of our knowledgeable plastic surgeons is the best way to learn if the dual plane approach is right for you. ## FAQs About Breast Implants - ### Do breast implants cause breast cancer? In general, breast implants do not cause cancer. Textured breast implants have been found to be associated with breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), a type of lymphoma occurring in those who have breast implants that have textured surfaces.3 - ### Are there any risks associated with breast implants? When performed by an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon, breast augmentation with implants is considered safe. As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks which include changes in sensation, dissatisfaction with the results leading to implant removal, capsular contracture, and breast implant illness.4 ## Schedule A Consultation For Breast Implants If you would like to learn more about the breast implant options our Las Vegas surgeons offer, please [contact](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/contact-us/) our medical team.

Breast implant surgery is a personal decision and one that many women find to be an empowering one. Breast enhancement with implants is the most popular cosmetic surgery in the country, with more than 300,000 procedures performed in 2018.1 Each patient has their own individual motives for breast augmentation and some common reasons include: - Restore breast volume that was lost after childbirth or breastfeeding - Balance a figure to look more proportionate - Correct asymmetry in breasts that are different sizes or shape - Rejuvenate breasts that have lost their shape with age or weight loss - Improve breast shape with more rounded contours or higher projection - Fulfill a desire for a more feminine appearance \[cky\_video\_placeholder\_title\] ![Woman holding saline implants in one hand and silicone implant in the other hand](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/implants-1.jpg) ### Saline vs. Silicone Implants Saline implants offer numerous benefits and are FDA-approved for breast augmentation patients age 18 and over and breast reconstruction patients of any age. ### Benefits of Saline Implants - In the rare event of a rupture, the saline (saltwater) solution will be harmlessly absorbed by the body. - Saline implants are available in many sizes and shapes, and they often can be placed through a smaller incision. - Depending on your treatment plan, saline implants may be less expensive. Silicone implants have always been available for breast reconstruction patients, and they were reintroduced for primary Pre-filled silicone gel implants have always been available for breast reconstruction patients, and they were reintroduced for cosmetic breast augmentation patients age 22 or older in 2006. The FDA-approved silicone implants in use today are third-generation implants, which contain a thicker, “cohesive-gel” formulation. [Learn More About Breast Implants](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/implants/) ### Benefits of Silicone Implants - This type of implant is designed to provide the most natural-looking and feeling result possible. - Silicone implants may be less likely to result in a rippled appearance, which can occasionally occur with saline implants if they are not optimally placed. - Silicone implants can be placed above or below the muscle, and we will provide the benefits associated with each option during your consultation. The appearance of silicone and saline implants can be very similar. As a result, what makes one option more appealing to you will vary. Some women do not like the idea of silicone breast implants in their bodies (studies performed over the past 15 years have not shown any additional health risks associated with silicone implants). For these individuals, saline is a conservative option. For other patients, the more natural feel of the silicone implants can be the determining factor. Dr. Hankins or Dr. Sohn will review all your choices and help guide you, but the final decision will always be yours. \[cky\_video\_placeholder\_title\] Incision Location – Dr. Samuel M. Sohn ## Breast Implant Incision Locations There are several different incisional approaches available when performing breast augmentation. We will be happy to discuss these different options with you at your consultation. The techniques our [experienced plastic surgeons](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgeon/ "experienced plastic surgeons") most frequently use are the periareolar (a tiny incision at the junction of the areola and breast skin), and the inframammary (underneath the breast in the natural fold). ![Breast Implant Incision Locations](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/aug.jpg) \[cky\_video\_placeholder\_title\] Submusclar vs Subglandular Implant Placement – Dr. Samuel M. Sohn ## Choosing Breast Implant Size Choosing the size of your implants is an important step in the breast enlargement consultation process. In general, it’s good to have an idea of what cup size you would like to be, but we ask that you not focus too much on this measurement. There is no standard for bra and cup sizes, and each bra manufacturer is different. We find that trying on implants in the office is the most accurate way to choose the appropriate volume. We recommend that you bring in form-fitting tops to try on with the breast implant sizers. High crew-necked shirts in light colors or tight-fitting clothing will accentuate your breasts and show the size of the implants. You’ll want to be comfortable in all of your clothes, even those that accentuate your breasts. ![doctor showing patient breast implants](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/breast-implant-options.jpg) We recommend that you become accustomed to seeing yourself with larger breasts. There can be an initial shock when women see themselves following breast augmentation. In order to assist you in picking out a size you will love, and to avoid any regrets, we advise you to stuff your bra for a while before surgery. Padding your bra, using inserts, or even baggies of rice are all good ways to test out different sizes. You may also want to make sure that you are comfortable in different types of clothing and in different environments. ## Your Breast Augmentation Consultation During your initial consultation, Dr. Hankins or Dr. Sohn will meet with you personally to discuss your concerns and cosmetic goals and help you to become well-informed about your options. During this meeting, your surgeon will also perform a thorough physical evaluation. Natural breasts often have differences between them, and these will be noted so that the surgeons can create an outcome that is as symmetric as possible. We want you to feel at ease during this conversation, and we encourage you to speak freely and ask any questions you may have. There are many choices to consider with regard to breast augmentation, and we will discuss these options at your initial consultation. Some things to know about the breast augmentation consultation process: - You are welcome to bring photos of breasts you find aesthetically appealing as a frame of reference. - One of the first decisions you make will be whether you would like silicone or saline breast implants. - We will also review the benefits of placing the implant above the muscle (subglandular) or below the pectoral muscle (submuscular). - To help you determine the ideal implant size for your anatomic needs and cosmetic goals, we will have you “try on” the implants. - This is also an opportunity to determine whether or not a [breast lift](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/lift/) will be needed. There are many variables involved in breast augmentation, and we will tailor the treatment plan to best suit each individual patient.

[View our Breast Augmentation Results](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/gallery/breast/breast-augmentation/) ## Breast Augmentation Recovery Depending on your personalized treatment plan, the breast augmentation procedure is an outpatient procedure that should take about one to three hours. You should be able to return home the same day as the operation and return in one week for a follow-up visit. Some swelling, bruising, and tenderness is normal, and we will prescribe pain medication to help manage any discomfort. We recommend that you relax at home for about one to two weeks before returning to work or normal activities. You should also avoid lifting anything over five pounds for the first two weeks, and you should refrain from strenuous exercise for at least one month. You should have a good idea of your results after several weeks, although some swelling may continue for several months and in some cases can take up to a year to fully subside. ![woman with breast implants exercising](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/breast-augmentation-recovery.jpg) ### Planning Your Breast Augmentation Procedure\* ![clock icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-1-hour-procedure.png) Average Procedure Time: 1 hours ![calendar icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-7-14-recovery-time.png) Average Recovery Time: 1 – 2 weeks ![doctor icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-post-op-consult.png) Post-Op Consultation: 3 months _\*Your treatment plan at Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates will be customized to meet your needs and your individual experience will vary depending on a number of factors.

[Contact Us](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/contact-us/) ## Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Augmentation To help you become well-informed about breast augmentation, our breast augmentation surgeons have answered some frequently asked questions about this popular procedure. An FAQ section can only address so many concerns, however. For more information, we encourage you to reach out to our team to schedule a complimentary consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons. - ### Am I a good candidate for breast augmentation? One of the most important factors for determining breast augmentation candidacy is wellness. In addition to being in good overall health, a patient should also abstain from smoking. They should also have adequate skin elasticity and muscle quality to support the breast implants. All of these considerations are designed to provide you with the best possible outcome and to reduce complications. Our physicians’ number one priority is safety, and we go to great lengths to provide our patients with excellent care. - ### How do I choose the right shape/size implants? Every woman’s body is unique, just as her cosmetic goals are unique. Choosing the right implant size and type is a process that must take into consideration a variety of factors, including your personal preferences, anatomic indicators, and desired outcome. Drs. Hankins and Sohn will be happy to help you determine which styles are most likely to provide the results you’re looking for, and we encourage you to learn more about the broad array of implant options that are currently available. We also offer [fat grafting](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/body/fat-grafting/) to achieve the most natural-looking appearance and feel possible. Each combination offers different benefits, and we will provide guidance to assist you in making a decision. - ### Which implant placement provides the most natural appearance? Breast implants can be placed above or below the chest muscle, depending on your anatomical needs and aesthetic goal. The size, shape, and composition of the breast implants will play a role in which placement is selected, as will the volume of existing breast tissue, and the new breast pocket created on the chest wall by the surgeon. Women with smaller frames and little breast tissue may benefit from a different placement than women with more breast tissue and higher distribution of fatty tissue. Additionally, skin quality will also be taken into consideration. These factors help our plastic surgeons select the most ideal placement for each person. - ### What are the incision options for breast augmentation? Our surgeons utilize the most advanced breast augmentation techniques available. An inframammary fold incision is one of the most common approaches, which is an incision that is made below the breast on the inframammary fold (where the breast meets the chest). Another option is a periareolar incision, which is an incision that is made along the periphery of the areola (the pigmented area around the nipple). As with most other breast augmentation choices, the right option for you will depend on your anatomic characteristics, personal preferences, and treatment plan. - ### Can I still breastfeed after breast augmentation? Many women who have breast augmentation go on to breastfeed without difficulty. Breast augmentation, when performed by a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon, should not affect a woman’s ability to nurse her child if she was able to do so prior to the operation.2 Dr. Hankins and Dr. Sohn can tailor your treatment plan to minimize damage to the mammary glands if you know you will want to breastfeed at some point in the future. - ### Are there age restrictions for breast augmentation? The FDA requires that patients must be at least 18 years old to have saline implants and 22 years old to receive silicone implants unless undergoing breast reconstruction. There is no upper age limit for breast augmentation, rather skin quality, physical health, and cosmetic desire will determine candidacy above the age of 18/22. - ### Do implants interfere with mammograms? Mammograms can be effectively performed on breasts with implants, including both saline and silicone styles. A highly qualified radiologist will adjust the technique to provide the best care. In some cases, the breast implant may obstruct the view of the breast tissue, in which case an MRI may be recommended instead. Always be sure and inform your radiologist that you have implants prior to your mammogram so they can be properly prepared for your visit. - ### What are the risks of breast augmentation? Any surgical procedure comes with some risk of complications or side effects. Potential risks of breast augmentation surgery include capsular contracture, implant rupture, infection, bleeding, changes in breast sensation, and general anesthesia risks. The experienced surgeons at Hankins & Sohn uphold high standards of safety to minimize risk.3 - ### Do I need to worry about Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL)? BIA-ALCL is a rare type of cancer that develops near breast implants at a low estimate of 1 in roughly 30,000 cases.4 Most instances of BIA-ALCL are found in patients with textured breast implants.5 BIA-ALCL is not breast cancer, it is cancer affecting the immune system. - ### Will I have scars after breast augmentation? Yes, breast augmentation does result in visible scars. Of the two most popular and safest incisions, the inframammary incision scar is the least noticeable because sutures are placed in the natural breast fold, while the areolar incision scar is slightly smaller. - ### How much does breast augmentation cost? The cost of breast augmentation will vary from person to person based on their needs and goals. Some other factors that will affect the final cost include the surgeon’s fee, hospital facility fee, and anesthesiology fee. During your initial consultation, your surgeon will discuss the details and fees associated with your operation. As a cosmetic procedure, breast augmentation will not be covered by medical insurance; however, there are many other [financing options](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/about/#financing/) available to help you bring this treatment into your budget. - ### Where can I find breast augmentation near me? If you’re looking for breast augmentation near you, the board-certified plastic surgeons at Hankins & Sohn are proud to provide expert breast augmentation services to patients in Las Vegas, as well as the surrounding communities, including Henderson, Nevada. Their renowned expertise and commitment to exceptional care make them a trusted choice for achieving your aesthetic goals. 1  American Society of Plastic Surgeons. 2018 National Plastic Surgery Statistics.

Unfortunately, the revision rate after primary breast augmentation can remain quite high. Achieving the desired result is often dependent upon choosing a highly qualified and experienced [plastic surgeon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgeon/) for your original operation. If you do suffer from problems related to your breast surgery performed by another physician, Dr. Hankins and Dr. Sohn may be able to help. At Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates, our Las Vegas board-certified plastic surgeons have performed hundreds of revision breast augmentation procedures for patients from all over the United States and internationally.1 There are many different reasons why patients come to us for their breast implant revision procedure. Examples of motives include experiencing capsular contracture (a condition in which the scar tissue around a [breast implant](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/implants/) hardens), bottoming out, implant rupture, or lateral displacement of implants, as well as an interest in implant exchange or the desire to increase or decrease the implant size. Regardless of the reason or need for your breast revision surgery, we will customize a treatment plan that best addresses your needs and goals.

This list then serves as a preliminary template for the rest of the consultation and, ultimately, for the breast implant revision surgery. This important step improves the communication between surgeon and patient, and typically results in realistic expectations and higher satisfaction with the outcome. Through this preoperative discussion, we are able to head into surgery with a clearer and more attainable plan designed with your needs and goals in mind. ### Planning Your Breast Revision Procedure\* ![clock icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-1-hour-procedure.png) Average Procedure Time: 1 – 4 hours ![calendar icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-7-14-recovery-time.png) Average Recovery Time: 1 – 2 weeks ![doctor icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-post-op-consult.png) Post-Op Consultation: 2 months _\*Your treatment plan at Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates will be customized to meet your needs and your individual experience will vary depending on a number of factors.

Please schedule a consultation appointment to discuss which options may apply to you._ ## Candidates for Breast Revision There are a number of reasons women may seek revision breast augmentation when the results of previous breast implant surgery prevent them from looking and feeling their best. If you are in good overall health, at a stable weight, and are troubled by any of the common sources of dissatisfaction listed below, you may be a good candidate for breast revision at our plastic surgery practice in Las Vegas.2,3 ![elegant woman in a rose pink dress](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/breast-revision.jpg) **Common reasons women pursue breast implant revision surgery include:** - A desire to exchange breast implants for a different size after breast augmentation surgery - A desire to address asymmetry, breast implant malposition, symmastia, capsular contracture, implant rupture or deflation, or issues arising from breast reconstruction procedures after breast cancer - A desire to use a different type of implants, including replacing saline implants with silicone or silicone gel implants A desire to combine implant replacement with breast lift to improve the location of the areola and achieve more youthful, perky breasts ### Capsular Contracture One reason for revision breast augmentation can be the development of capsular contracture. Scar tissue that forms around the implant can, over time, become hard, visible, or painful. This has been one of the most frustrating complications of breast augmentation, for both patients and their surgeons. In general, placement of implants above the pectoralis (chest) muscle can result in a higher capsular contracture rate, and we see lower rates when implants are placed below the pectoralis muscle. In certain instances, a capsulotomy or capsulectomy may need to be performed, which refers to the release of the scar tissue or the removal of the scar tissue, respectively. If a patient experiences a recurrence of capsular contracture, we have been getting excellent results through the use of dermal matrices, both human and porcine. We are especially excited about this newfound ability to treat this complex problem. ### Bottoming Out of Implants Gravity can affect all things, including your breast implants. Over time, the implants can stretch the breast skin and cause lowering of the breast fold, leading to a bottomed-out appearance. If you do not wear supportive bras on a frequent basis, this can worsen over time. This issue can be corrected using a technique that lifts and anchors the breasts in a higher position. By placing sutures into the breast capsule surrounding the implant, the surgeons can elevate the fold and reposition the implant. This breast augmentation revision will often improve your “cleavage” and help to reshape the breast as well. ### Lateral Displacement of Implants The laterally displaced implant can in most cases be avoided by careful pocket dissection at the time of the primary breast augmentation. However, this is unfortunately another common reason that patients desire breast augmentation revision. The implant that “disappears into my armpit when I lay down” can be treated very effectively with lateral capsulorrhaphy sutures. These specialized sutures help to recreate the lateral demarcation of the breast, preventing sideways movement of the implant pocket. We have been able to achieve long-lasting results with this technique, finally helping this group of patients obtain the outcome they desire. ### Implant Rupture Although the newest generation of silicone implants and saline implants have low rupture rates, implant leaks can still occur in rare cases with any type of implant. There are many different reasons for tears, and one of the most common is the fold-flaw. In this situation, the implant folds on itself repeatedly, which can lead to weakness at the fold point and eventually result in rupture. If you experience a rupture, you should replace the implant in the near future to reduce the amount of scar tissue or contracture that can occur. The scar tissue that may form from this event can make removal and placement of new implants more difficult, and it also can be harder to recreate an aesthetically pleasing shape. ![woman on a tan background](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/breast-revision-candidate.jpg) ### Desire to Increase or Decrease Implant Size A desire to change implant size is one of the most common reasons why patients consider this surgical procedure. Perhaps the size that was originally chosen is now too small, and you would like to go larger. We will consider your body size and shape and recommend the different size of implant we believe can help achieve your cosmetic goals. There may also be an opportunity to exchange the implant type, most often from saline to the next generation of silicone cohesive-gel implants. These are often referred to as “gummy bear” breast implants due to their more solid, yet natural-looking and feeling consistency and shape. The opposite can also be true, where there is a desire to change the implants to a smaller size. This is often accompanied by changes in lifestyle or age or weight loss, in which the implants no longer fit with the body image a woman is trying to project. There may be secondary issues generated by the downsizing of implants, including skin laxity, and/or a need to internally tighten the implant pocket or capsule surrounding the implant to better fit the smaller implant. Our plastic surgeons are extensively trained in the latest techniques, and they will help you find an approach that can optimize your results. ### Breast Implant Removal If the breast implants are removed or explanted, you may or may not require a breast lift to restore the appearance of the breasts and position of the areola, reduce breast droop, and address any skin laxity while maintaining a natural breast shape. This depends on individualized factors, including the size of the existing implants, texture and quality of your skin, and the amount of breast tissue that you had prior to the placement of the implants. ## What to Expect From Breast Implant Revision Surgery Each breast implant revision our plastic surgeons perform is unique and custom-tailored to each woman’s personal needs and goals. Most breast revisions are outpatient procedures performed under general anesthesia. Typically, surgery involves exchanging implants, removing scar tissue, reshaping the breast pocket, lining the implant pocket with fat, redistributing breast tissues, and/or lifting the breasts. Liposuction may be performed to achieve optimal results. During the recovery period, it is normal to experience some discomfort, bruising, and swelling. Results of a breast implant revision surgery may not be immediately noticeable because of this, but should become apparent with healing. ## Schedule A Consultation For Breast Revision There are numerous factors to consider when determining whether a breast revision is right for you.

We understand that not everyone has the genetics or the time to build muscle organically and even a dedicated workout regime does not always deliver results. Pectoral implants can help men enhance their chest for a well-defined and chiseled look. ## What Are Pectoral Implants? Pectoral implants, or “pec” implants, used in male chest enhancement surgery are different than breast implants. Pec implants are made from a solid form of silicone designed to not rupture or leak. Once implanted, pec implants look and feel like muscle. Pectoral implants are engineered to add bulk to help give men a classic masculine appearance. ## Pectoral Augmentation Surgery General anesthesia will typically be used during pec implant surgery. At a consultation appointment prior to your procedure, your surgeon will assess your current size and shape and discuss your goals in order to choose the size of pectoral implant that is best suited for you. An incision will be made near the armpit, which will make it easier to disguise post-op. The implant will be placed underneath the natural pectoral muscle. ## Pectoral Augmentation Recovery Pectoral augmentation patients may experience some soreness and discomfort after surgery, which can be treated with medication. Patients can typically return to work within one week, but must avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for 4 weeks. Weight lifting or chest workouts are limited for approximately 8 weeks after implant surgery. ## Is Pectoral Augmentation Right For Me? The first step in the male chest enhancement process is a consultation appointment with a qualified plastic surgeon near you. Pectoral augmentation for men may be an option for you if you: - Are in general good health - Are not satisfied with the results of your weight lifting routine - Would like to add definition to your chest or achieve a more masculine physique - Feel that pectoral implants would improve your confidence and self-esteem ## Contact Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates The highly experienced plastic surgeons at our Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada locations specialize in providing compassionate and discreet care that utilizes advanced technique and skill.

The eyes are an essential focal feature of your face, and they help to communicate your thoughts, feelings, and intentions. Unfortunately, the sensitive eye area is also prone to premature signs of aging. Heavy, sagging eyelids can unintentionally convey that you are sad, tired, or older than your chronological age. Our Las Vegas, NV Blepharoplasty Surgery Specialists, can lift and tighten the skin of the upper eyelids and remove fat from the lower eyelids to refresh and rejuvenate your face. As Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, our doctors have the expertise to alleviate heavy lids and under-eye bags for a smoother, younger, natural-looking appearance. In addition, we offer consultations to help you make the best decision for your needs and goals.

In some cases, the cause of sagging eyelids may be a heavy brow caused by excess tissue on the forehead. A brow lift may be more effective if our surgeons determine this is the case. We will also evaluate your general health, expectations, and other considerations to identify the ideal treatment for your needs and goals. ## Blepharoplasty Procedure Many factors contribute to the appearance of heavy or droopy upper eyelids, including brow position. For example, significant slumping of the brow can cause the upper eyelids to appear overly full and puffy. Other eyelid concerns may be due to excess baggy or loose skin. Depending on your anatomic needs and goals, the best cosmetic procedure may be an eyelid lift (upper, lower, or both), a brow lift, or a combination of techniques. Our plastic surgeons will recommend the ideal approach for you during your initial consultation, and together you will develop a treatment plan that can optimize your outcome. During an eyelid lift procedure, incisions are created in the upper or lower eyelids and excess fat, muscle, and skin removed. The incisions used for eyelid surgery are hidden in the natural creases of the upper eyelid for upper blepharoplasty or along the lash line of the lower lid for a lower blepharoplasty. In some cases, the incisions and sutures may be hidden inside the lower lid (transconjunctival), which is a “scar-less” approach. This technique is only appropriate for some candidates, and our surgeons will explain if this option may be right for you. If the excess skin of your eyelids impairs your vision, your treatment may be eligible for insurance coverage. We can discuss whether this is a possibility during your appointment. Your treatment plan will be tailored to address your concerns and to provide the most natural-looking outcome possible.

Less complex techniques can sometimes be performed using local anesthesia, and general anesthesia will be used in other cases. Most patients spend about one week recovering at home; however, everyone’s healing rate is unique. Our plastic surgeons will provide more detail about when you can begin exercising again at your follow-up appointments. Bruising and swelling are expected, as is some level of discomfort. We will provide prescription medication to make the healing process as comfortable and pleasant as possible. Eyelid surgery scars should be small and virtually unnoticeable.

[View Our Blepharoplasty Results](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/gallery/face/blephar/) ## FAQs About Eyelid Surgery Your content… - ### Will medical insurance cover the cost of eyelid surgery? The skin of the eyelids can become inelastic to the degree that it begins to impair a patient’s range of vision. If that’s true for you, your medical insurance may cover the cost of your procedure, in part or in whole. Every individual’s medical plan is unique, and we recommend talking with your insurance agent about your options to determine if functional blepharoplasty might be covered. If you’re considering eyelid surgery purely as a cosmetic treatment, you will have to cover the total cost of the operation. We work with [plastic surgery financing](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/about/#financing) firms that offer enticing payment plans for qualified applicants if you prefer to pay for your eyelid surgery in several installments. - ### How much does eyelift surgery cost? The price of eyelid surgery will depend on several factors, including the plastic surgeon’s experience, the unique details of your treatment plan, and whether you’re combining techniques (for instance, proceeding with eyelid surgery and a brow lift). The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recently revealed the average surgeon’s fee for blepharoplasty in 2016 was $3,022. This number does not include the expense of anesthesia, operating room facilities, or incidentals. To help you form the most accurate picture of what this procedure will ultimately cost, we will review all the anticipated fees during your initial consultation. We believe this gives you the information you need to make the best decision for you. - ### What will eyelid surgery scars look like? Our surgeons take great care to minimize the appearance of scars, particularly in sensitive areas like the eyelids. In general, the incisions used in eyelid surgery are small and well-concealed. It may be possible to place the lower eyelid incision either along the lower lash line or on the inside of the eyelid, where the healed scar will be essentially unnoticeable. The upper eyelid incision is usually placed within the natural fold of the eyelid skin so as to be inconspicuous to the casual observer. - ### Can I combine any other procedures with eyelid lift surgery? Yes, many of our patients combine upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery with non-surgical treatments like [Botox](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/injectables/botox-dysport/) and other [injectables](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/injectables/) like [dermal fillers](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/injectables/dermal-fillers/) or additional surgical procedures such as a [facelift](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/face/neck-lift/) for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. ## Schedule a Consultation For Eyelid Surgery [Contact our Nevada office](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/contact-us/) today for more information on lower and upper eyelid rejuvenation with eyelid lift surgery or schedule an appointment with our surgeons. 1 American Society of Plastic Surgeons. 2018 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report.

Also known as fat injections or autologous fat transfer, fat grafting is an advanced contouring procedure that utilizes your own natural tissue to add volume to your face or body. At Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates in Las Vegas, fat grafting can be used to achieve a wide range of beneficial effects. Furthermore, this popular treatment is often added to other techniques to obtain more comprehensive results. Our [board certified plastic surgeons](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgeon/), Dr. W. Tracy Hankins and Dr. Samuel M. Sohn, will determine if fat grafting can optimize your results during your initial consultation. Fat grafting is an incredibly versatile outpatient cosmetic procedure and offers longer-lasting and more natural results compared to dermal fillers. If you’d like to learn more about fat grafting procedures, or if you would like to schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Hankins or Dr. Sohn, please contact our office today. - [What Is Fat Grafting?](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/body/fat-grafting#what "What Is Fat Grafting? ") - [Fat Grafting for the Face](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/body/fat-grafting#face "Fat Grafting for the Face") - [Fat Grafting for the Buttocks](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/body/fat-grafting#buttocks "Fat Grafting for the Buttocks") - [Fat Grafting for the Breast & Body](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/body/fat-grafting#breast-body "Fat Grafting for the Breast & Body") - [Recovery Following Fat Grafting](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/body/fat-grafting#recovery "Recovery Following Fat Grafting") - [FAQs About Fat Grafting](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/body/fat-grafting#faq "FAQs About Fat Grafting") ## Fat Grafting for the Face Facial fat injections can be performed as a standalone procedure or in conjunction with a [facelift](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/face/neck-lift/) or another [facial plastic surgery](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/face/) treatment. This technique is designed to smooth deep creases and to add volume where there is a deficiency. Volume loss can occur as part of the natural aging process or due to an illness or adverse health condition. The fat transfer procedure begins with harvesting fatty tissue from an area of the body with a [liposuction](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/body/liposuction/) cannula under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Generally the best parts of the body for collecting excess fat will be the stomach, hips, and thighs, and you can have input regarding the targeted spot. The fat will then be gently processed and prepared for injection. The surgeon will precisely administer injections of the patient’s own fat into the area of concern to ensure optimal blood supply. If the fat transfer is done in combination with a facelift, the tissue can be directly placed during the procedure. It’s important to note, facelift recovery will be longer with this approach due to the increased swelling associated with fat grafting.. However, the outcome can last even longer than with a facelift alone. ## Fat Grafting for the Buttocks Fat grafting for the body is in many ways similar to facial fat grafting. Also known as a [Brazilian Butt Lift](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/body/brazilian-butt-lift/), fat grafting for the buttocks is designed to enhance the volume and shape of the lower body. No implants or foreign objects will be used in this technique, which many patients find appealing. Again, fat will be harvested from a donor site, typically the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, although virtually any area or combination of areas could potentially be used. Since liposuction is a necessary step in this procedure, more comprehensive body contouring can be achieved as determined by your unique anatomic needs and cosmetic goals. ![woman relaxing on a boat in a sequin bikini](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/fat-grafting-face-body.jpg) ## Fat Grafting for the Breast and Body The buttocks are only one region of the body that can be addressed with fat injections. In certain cases, fat grafts also can be used to augment the breasts, fill defects, reduce rippling and visibility of breast implants, and soften contours. It’s important to note, breast tissue and fatty tissue are different, and our doctors can help you determine whether [breast augmentation](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/augmentation/) with fat grafting alone or with [breast implants](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/implants/) can achieve the best possible outcome for you. If you would like to consider using your own tissue to enhance the size, shape, or appearance of your breasts, our surgeons will be happy to discuss your options during your initial complimentary consultation. Fat grafting can also be used to improve the outcome of other surgical procedures. If you’re dissatisfied with the liposuction results performed by another surgeon, fat transfer can help to further refine your body contour. ## Recovery Following Fat Grafting Typically there will be some discomfort when recovering from fat grafting to the buttocks, breast, or body. There is usually little pain associated with the injection sites, and we can prescribe medication to help make the healing process as pleasant as possible. Most patients notice more tenderness in the area that received liposuction than where the fatty tissue was placed. During the first few weeks, it’s important that you avoid sitting for long periods or sleeping on your back after a Brazilian Butt Lift. Pressure to the fat cells can cause them to be absorbed, which can lead to unwanted changes in the shape or size of the buttocks. There will be a small amount of volume loss that occurs after fat transfer, which our surgeons will take into consideration. Fat grafting offers long-lasting results; as long as your weight remains stable, the effect should be permanent. Recovery from facial fat grafting combined with a facelift tends to be more extensive. Fat transfer can cause additional swelling, which can take four to eight weeks to subside. While healing can require more patience, the outcome typically provides a more youthful look than often can be achieved with the surgery alone. We offer a wide range of facial rejuvenation treatment options, and our surgeons will be happy to discuss them all. We will create a customized plan that best suits your needs, goals, and lifestyle. ## FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) About Fat Grafting Curious about fat grafting and how it can help you achieve your cosmetic goals? We have provided answers to some commonly asked questions about this popular procedure. We hope this information serves as a useful resource. If you would like to learn more, or if you’re ready to schedule a consultation, please reach out to our skilled and knowledgeable medical team. - ### What are the benefits of fat grafting? Fat grafting is used to rejuvenate, restore, and add volume to different areas of the face and body. It can improve the contours of virtually any region and create a smooth, natural-looking result. Fat grafting uses a patient’s own natural tissue to create the desired effect, so there is virtually no risk of an allergic reaction. And you can rest assured that you are simply enhancing what already exists without the need for foreign substances or objects. That said, fat grafting can also be combined with other procedures, such as cosmetic injectables and breast augmentation, to heighten the effect and achieve more comprehensive enhancement. - ### Who is a good candidate for fat grafting? The most important thing is for a person to be in overall good health. We will also discuss reasonable expectations for the result, and what can be achieved with your procedure. Patients considering fat grafting for the breast and body will need to have sufficient fatty tissue to complete the treatment as designed. In some cases, a patient may be asked to gain a small amount of weight prior to the operation, and our surgeons will discuss this with you if it applies to your situation. Other factors may also apply depending on the unique details of your plan, which will be covered during your initial consultation. - ### How much does fat grafting cost? Fat grafting can range in cost by a great deal, depending on the number of areas to be treated, what other techniques are being utilized, and other considerations. The fat transfer process alone can be anywhere from several hundred to several thousand dollars. We want to give you the information you need to make the right decision for you, and our medical team will provide the full estimated price of fat grafting and any other treatments you’re receiving, including anticipated fees for anesthesiology and the hospital facility, during your first meeting. We work with a number of reputable [plastic surgery financing](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/about/#financing) companies in the event you would like to consider a payment plan. Talk to us about your needs and goals, and we will help you find a suitable solution. - ### Is there a limit to the number of areas I can address? In most cases, we recommend limiting your treatment to up to three to four adjacent areas when it comes to liposuction. Many patients choose the abdomen, hips, and thighs, for instance. You may only need to target one area to achieve the necessary amount of tissue; however, you may want further contouring to obtain your desired cosmetic outcome. Facial fat grafting usually only requires a small volume of fat, and this may be found almost anywhere on the body. You should be able to select the donor area with guidance from our surgeons.

This is part of the reason why [breast augmentation](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/augmentation/) is such a popular procedure. For some women, however, breast enlargement alone will not be enough to achieve the desired outcome. In the event the breast tissue has signs of ptosis (drooping), breast augmentation and mastopexy may be a better option.1 The Las Vegas Breast Surgery Specialists at Hankins and Sohn Plastic Surgery are dedicated to helping you meet your aesthetic goals with personalized treatment plans. - [What is a Breast Lift with Implants?](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/augmentation-lift#what "") - [Benefits of Breast Augmentation with Lift](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/augmentation-lift#benefits "") - [Candidates for Breast Lift with Implants](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/augmentation-lift#candidates "") - [Breast Implant and Fat Grafting Options](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/augmentation-lift#options "") - [Breast Augmentation with Lift Procedure](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/augmentation-lift#procedure "") - [Breast Augmentation with Lift Recovery](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/augmentation-lift#recovery "") - [Breast Lift With Implants Results Before & After Gallery](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/augmentation-lift#before-and-after "") - [FAQs About Breast Lift With Implants](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/augmentation-lift#faq "") - [Schedule A Consultation For Breast Lift With Implants](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/augmentation-lift#consultation "") ## What is a Breast Lift with Implants? Breast augmentation and mastopexy, also known as a breast lift with augmentation, is a technique that reduces excess skin, elevates the position of the breasts and nipples (if necessary), and increases the size of the breasts. Many women find that they don’t need to add as much volume to the breast when combining augmentation with a lift because it naturally positions breasts and provides shape.2 Our board-certified [plastic surgeons](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgeon/) often recommend this approach for women who have put off breast enlargement until after having children. Additionally, women who have lost a significant amount of weight or who have a genetic predisposition to breast ptosis may find that augmentation with mastopexy offers them a better result. Your surgeon will determine whether this or another modality is right for your needs and goals during your initial consultation. To learn more about breast lift with augmentation, please [contact our practice](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/contact-us/) today. We can answer your questions and help you schedule a consultation with Dr. Hankins or Dr. Sohn in one of our convenient locations in Henderson or Las Vegas. ## Benefits of Breast Augmentation with Breast Lift A breast augmentation mastopexy offers the benefits of breast augmentation and a breast lift. Patients can achieve fuller and more youthful-looking breasts in one operation. Other benefits of breast augmentation with a lift include: - Enhanced size, shape, and volume of the breasts - Elimination of excess breast skin to address drooping and sagging - Improved breast projection and elevation - Resized, reshaped, and/or repositioned nipples and areolas - Improved fullness in the upper portion of the breast ![](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/woman-in-lingerie.jpg) Breast lift surgery with breast implants can also help to improve symmetry between the breasts, in addition to other psychological benefits such as improved confidence.3 During the initial consultation, our experienced plastic surgeons will go over your concerns and guide you toward the best approach for your goals and anatomy. ## Candidates for Breast Lift with Implants Certain anatomical factors affect whether breast augmentation or breast lift with augmentation will be a better approach for your cosmetic goals. Breast augmentation alone can often address a small amount of sagging, depending on the size of your breasts to begin with and the size and type of [breast implant](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/implants/) used. Most women with moderate to severe breast ptosis will require a lift in addition to an implant and/or fat grafting.4 Other considerations will include your general health and whether you have reasonable expectations for the outcome. In some instances our physicians may recommend an augmentation mastopexy for women who are considering a breast lift and have no desire to increase their breast size. The reason for this is because a breast lift can often decrease the size of the breast if a substantial amount of excess skin needs to be removed. Breast lift with augmentation can help a woman maintain the size of her breasts in these cases. Your surgeon will discuss this option if it applies to you during your initial consultation. ![woman with mastopexy and implants](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/breast-lift-implants-e1618865676399.jpg) ## Breast Implant and Fat Grafting Options At Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates, we offer a comprehensive range of FDA-approved breast implant types, including silicone and saline, round and shaped, and smooth and textured.5 Dr. Hankins and Dr. Sohn will listen attentively to your cosmetic goals during the initial consultation and recommend one or more sizes and styles based on your preferences and anatomic indicators. If you’re an ideal candidate, fat grafting may also be an option. This more “natural” approach to breast enhancement uses your own fatty tissue to increase the size and improve the shape of your breasts. Fat grafting can be used with or without breast implants, depending on the unique needs of the individual. For more information on fat transfer, please read our page on [fat grafting for the breasts](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/body/fat-grafting/). ## Breast Augmentation with Lift Procedure Breast augmentation mastopexy is a combination of placing breast implants along with [breast lift](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/breast/lift/) techniques. The operation typically takes from one to three hours, and you should be able to return home following the procedure.6 The incisions used for the augmentation mastopexy will be similar to breast lift surgery, and additional incisions on the breast should not be necessary to place the implant or transfer fatty tissue (it should be noted, however, that fat transfer will require [liposuction](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/body/liposuction/) in addition to breast surgery). Dr. Hankins and Dr. Sohn make a concerted effort to minimize any scarring and most patients report that the results are worth it. ## Breast Augmentation with Lift Recovery We encourage women to take two weeks off of work to recover at home following augmentation mastopexy. After this point, you should be able to return to normal activities, unless your surgeon advises otherwise. Bruising, swelling, changes in nipple sensation and tenderness are to be expected, and we will provide medication to help manage any discomfort. While you’ll notice immediate results, most patients start to see the final results of the surgery after about two or three months, although some minor swelling can last for up to one year.7 This effect often goes unnoticed by patients. Scars will initially be pink and raised, but over time they become smoother and should fade in color. ![lifted augmented breasts close up](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/breast-lift-implants-close-up.jpg) ## Gallery ### Breast Lift With Implants Results Dr. Hankins and Dr. Sohn are dedicated to delivering breast lifts with implant results that are personalized to meet each patient’s expectations.

At Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates, we want you to have all the information you need to make the best decision for you. Because we personalize every treatment plan to optimize each patient’s unique goals, the cost of a breast lift with implants can vary based on the details of your unique plan. Our medical team will go over the expected cost of your surgery, including the surgeon’s fee, anesthesiology fee, and operating facility fee, so you are as well-informed as possible. Please note that not all practices are in the habit of sharing the full cost of a procedure, often opting to quote the surgeon’s fee alone. We recommend patients ask what’s included in a quote. If you would like to consider [plastic surgery financing](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/about/#financing), we work with reputable lending agencies that offer appealing terms and payment plans. Talk to us to learn more. ### How long does breast lift with implants last? For most patients, breast lift with implants results last for 10 to 15 years, however, some never need a revision. ### Do I have to wear a bra after a breast lift with implants? Following a breast lift with implants, it’s essential to wear a bra to promote optimal healing. You can stop wearing a bra on special occasions after roughly six weeks, but in general, a bra should be worn daily to maintain your results. ### How do I choose a plastic surgeon for a breast lift with implants? Arguably, the most important decision you will make is selecting the plastic surgeon who will perform your procedure. We advise patients to select a surgeon who is board-certified (or on track to be certified) by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This organization has strict requirements that must be maintained over time, with mandatory continuing education provisions. In addition to reviewing a potential surgeon’s educational background and training, we also believe that listening to your gut is important. During the initial consultation, the ideal physician will listen attentively to your concerns, answer your questions to the best of his ability, and make you feel comfortable. Finally, we suggest reviewing a surgeon’s breast lift with implants before-and-after photos to see what the results typically look like. This can help you determine if the surgeon’s aesthetics match your own ## Schedule A Consultation For Breast Lift With Implants In Las Vegas or Henderson Would you like to know more?

When choosing a facelift surgeon, first check that he or she is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has experience in facial plastic surgery procedures. This is the highest level of achievement and certification that the specialty allows, and it indicates extensive training and skill. Dr. Sohn and Dr. Hankins are Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. It’s also a good idea to look at facelift before-and-after photos to see that you are satisfied with the appearance of patients who have had the procedure. Different techniques can provide different results, and that can be dependent on the skill and aesthetic eye of the surgeon. Beware the gimmicks and the mass-marketing campaigns. Promises of no downtime and long-lasting results are usually inaccurate and are often mutually exclusive. At Hankins & Sohn, we prefer a natural appearance, not an “operated on” look. Plastic surgery should be individually tailored to your needs, not the needs of “almost everyone.” Dr. Sohn and Dr. Hankins have performed thousands of facial aesthetic procedures, and they have the keen aesthetic eye and talent to help you achieve your goals. ## Facelift Cost One of the most common questions we hear from patients is about the cost of facelift surgery. This procedure can range in price depending on many factors, including the technique used and the complexity of the case. Many patients also elect to combine multiple modalities – fat grafting or non-surgical rejuvenation methods, for instance – which will also affect the final expense. It’s important to remember that the total price will include the surgeon’s fee, hospital facility fee, anesthesia fee, and other related expenses. Our medical team will go over the details of your treatment plan and the associated fees so you can be prepared for the full cost. Many practices only provide the surgeon’s fee, so you should always confirm what an estimate includes when comparing. As a service to our patients, we work with reputable medical lending agencies that can help you bring the cost of the procedure into your budget. ![beautiful woman lying outside](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/facelift-vs-mini-facelift.jpg) ## **Mini Facelift Vs. Full Facelift** If your primary concerns involve  loose skin on the lower face, such as the mouth, jawline, and chin, a [mini facelift](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/face/mini-lift/) might be better suited to address your specific needs and objectives. This procedure is ideal for patients who don’t exhibit significant signs of aging in their neck or midface. During this procedure, small incisions are made in front of the ear and wrap under the earlobe.  It typically involves a shorter incision and often results in a faster recovery compared to a traditional facelift. Our plastic surgeons will explore this option with you during your initial consultation to determine if this facelift technique can best achieve your desired outcome. ## Facelift Procedure Traditional facelift and neck lift surgery are typically outpatient procedures performed under general anesthesia while a mini facelift may be performed under local anesthesia and sedation. These cosmetic procedures essentially do the same thing but in slightly different areas. In many cases, optimizing the outcome can require addressing both regions simultaneously. The two procedures are designed to trim excess skin, remove excess fat, and lift the facial tissues and neck skin to a higher, more youthful position. There are a multitude of approaches that can be used, and the right technique for your needs and goals will be discussed during the initial consultation. Depending on your unique treatment plan, the incisions and sutures are typically hidden in the hairline and in the natural creases around the ear. Muscle tightening procedures performed in the underlying tissue allow our surgeons to address loose musculature that can contribute to droop. This is an essential step to achieving the longest-lasting result possible.\* Sometimes additional procedures will be concurrently performed to optimize facelift results and help provide more comprehensive rejuvenation, so your facial features appear harmonious and age well together. If you have other areas of concern, you should feel comfortable discussing them with Drs. Hankins and Sohn. _\*Individual results may vary._ ## Facelift and Neck Lift Recovery Aesthetic facelift surgery takes about two to four hours, and you should be able to go home several hours after your procedure. You will experience some tenderness, bruising, and swelling, which is normal. Dressings will be placed around the treated area, and Drs. Hankins and Sohn will discuss with you how to care for these bandages. Medication will be prescribed to control your pain, and we always strive to make your experience as comfortable as possible. You should plan to relax and recover at home for two weeks, before returning to your normal activities. If bruising remains, you are welcome to use makeup to cover these effects. It’s important to note that everyone’s healing rate is unique, and you should listen to your body if you need more time to recover. We do recommend a regimen of herbal supplements that will be provided prior to surgery to help rapidly improve your recovery. Some swelling may continue for a few months, and final results can take up to a year. However, you should see significant improvement within the first month.\* _\*Recovery time and individual results may vary._ ### Planning Your Facelift Procedure\* ![clock icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-1-hour-procedure.png) Average Procedure Time: 2 – 3 hours ![calendar icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-7-14-recovery-time.png) Average Recovery Time: 2 – 3 weeks ![doctor icon](https://hankinsplasticsurgery.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/icon-post-op-consult.png) Post-Op Consultation: 8 weeks _\*Your treatment plan at Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates will be customized to meet your needs and your individual experience will vary depending on a number of factors.

[View Our Facelift Results](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/gallery/face/lift/) ## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Facelift Surgery Do you have additional questions about facelift surgery? Our experienced plastic surgeons have answered some of the most common inquiries about this procedure. We hope this information can help you to make the best decision for your cosmetic goals. For more assistance, please reach out to our friendly and knowledgeable medical team. - ### What areas of concern can a facelift treat? This procedure can be customized to suit your anatomic characteristics and expressed goals, and treatment can even include a neck lift and/or cosmetic injectables to further enhance the effects. A typical facelift includes trimming excess skin, reducing excess fatty tissue, and tightening lax muscles. Tissues that have begun to sag will then be elevated to a higher, more youthful position. Care is taken to provide a natural-looking result that doesn’t appear “windblown” or treated. Thus, common signs of aging like deep wrinkles, sagging skin, and jowls can be corrected with a beautiful and long-lasting outcome. - ### Are there any limitations to what a facelift can achieve? While facelift surgery can provide dramatic yet natural-looking facial rejuvenation, there are some concerns that are best treated with another approach. Facelift surgery alone will not add volume to the under-eye area or the cheeks, nor will this method smooth away fine lines or change the texture of your skin. However, cosmetic injectables can be used to soften wrinkles, fill creases, and restore facial volume, and resurfacing techniques such as Fraxel laser treatments can help smooth wrinkles and texture. Additionally, [facial fat grafting](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/procedures/body/fat-grafting/), which uses your own fatty tissue, can be applied with many of the same benefits. One or both of these methods often can be added to your treatment plan. Our surgeons will discuss your desired outcome and provide options designed to give you the results you’re looking for. - ### Where are the incisions located? Depending on the particulars of your treatment plan, the techniques used to achieve the discussed results may vary. In many cases, an incision will be made along the hairline below the temple and within the natural ear creases. This allows our surgeons to conceal the marks as much as possible. Other incisions may be required, including under the chin, if you are also having a neck lift or another aesthetic procedure. Dr. Hankins or Dr. Sohn will review the specific locations of the incisions with you during your initial consultation. The most important thing to remember is that our physicians make every effort to keep the scars as inconspicuous as possible, and [laser skin resurfacing](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/skin-resurfacing/) may be helpful in further reducing their appearance. - ### Is facelift surgery painful? Some discomfort should be expected, but we prioritize your experience at every stage of treatment. Swelling, tenderness, numbness, and bruising are common effects that should fade with time. We will provide medication to manage your pain, and most patients report that the minor unpleasantness passes quickly and is well worth the outcome. We can also recommend additional tips to enhance your recovery, including elevating the head when lying down and utilizing arnica montana, a supplement known to help reduce inflammation. - ### When can I expect to return to my normal routine? Patients typically resume their regular activities within one to two weeks following their procedure, although this timeline may vary based on factors such as the specific treatment plan and individual healing pace. If facial fat transfer is included, swelling will likely persist slightly longer compared to facelift surgery alone. It’s advisable to refrain from strenuous activities and exercises like jogging, biking, and certain sports for at least a month post-surgery. Our skilled team can provide more details if you have questions about activity. After a couple of months, some signs of treatment may still be visible, but you should have an excellent idea of what the final results will look like. - ### When will I see results? Patients can typically expect to see the results of a face and neck lift procedures within several weeks to a few months after the surgery. However, it’s essential to keep in mind that individual healing times may vary, and some residual swelling or subtle changes may persist for up to one year before the full effects of the surgery are apparent. Additionally, with proper skincare maintenance, the improvement should endure for numerous years. - ### Are there any alternatives to facelift surgery? If you prefer a minimally invasive approach or are not yet ready for a facelift, there are a multitude of options to help you achieve a more youthful-looking appearance. BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers can be used to address fine lines and volume loss, as well as provide greater refinement of certain features. Skin tightening and body contouring technology can also allow you to effectively address mild skin laxity and excess fatty tissue. To learn more about your options, please explore our non-surgical treatments page for additional ideas about the latest cosmetic options. - ### Is a facelift without surgery possible? A non-surgical facelift using cosmetic injectables and/or skin tightening treatments can address mild to moderate concerns; however, this approach cannot treat significant skin laxity, deeper wrinkles, and loosening tissues. For the most comprehensive results, a facelift can provide noticeable yet natural-looking rejuvenation. In many cases, patients may wish to combine non-surgical and surgical techniques to achieve their desired outcome. We will discuss all your options during your initial consultation to help you determine the best approach for you. - ### What is a liquid facelift? A liquid facelift, or non-surgical facelift, is a procedure that uses dermal fillers and cosmetic injectables to soften wrinkles and restore volume to the face. The most common injectables used include BOTOX® Cosmetic, the JUVÉDERM® family of products, Restylane®, Radiesse®, and others. These are administered into the skin to provide rapid but temporary improvement in the treated area. Facelift surgery offers long-term results for individuals who prefer lasting rejuvenation. - ### How do I know if a facelift is right for me? The best way to figure out if facelift surgery is right for you is to schedule a consultation appointment with one of our experienced facelift surgeons, who will help determine if you are a candidate. If you would like to look younger, less tired, and rejuvenated with long-term results, then facelift surgery may be right for you. The good news is that studies show over 98% of facelift surgery patients felt that their results exceeded their expectations.2 - ### Is facelift surgery safe? Any type of surgical procedure carries some risk of side effects or complications. Potential risks of facelift surgery include bleeding, infection, scarring, and injuries to nerves or skin.3 At Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates, we take safety seriously and we will utilize our expertise and high level of care to optimize your outcome. ## **Schedule a Consultation For Facelift /** **Neck Lift** To find out if you are a good candidate for a facelift or other facial cosmetic surgery, or to obtain additional information, [contact our offices](https://www.hankinsplasticsurgery.com/contact-us/) or call [(702) 935-5739](tel:7029355739 "tel:7029355739") to schedule an appointment. 1 American Society of Plastic Surgeons. 2018 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report.
