Many surgeons recommend doing the breast lift and breast augmentation at different times due to the difficulty in controlling all of the variables that are necessary when doing them together. Our plastic surgeons usually recommend doing the procedures at the same time as long as the patient understands that there is a slightly higher chance of needing a revision when the two procedures are done together. Dr. Koenig’s revision rate is about 5% for this combined operation.
Dr. William J. Koenig is a double board-certified plastic surgeon with over 26 years of experience. He specializes in breast and body procedures and has performed over 6,000 breast augmentations throughout his years of practice.
Dr. Ashley N. Amalfi is a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic surgery of the breast and body. With her experience and innate attention to detail, Dr. Amalfi achieves personalized surgical outcomes that help patients look and feel their best.
As a destination practice offering world-class care, the Quatela Center attracts patients from around the globe. Our virtual consultations and support program take the effort out of travelling for surgery.
When considering breast surgery, there are many benefits and risks to think about. The following documents are provided by the manufacturers of breast implants for patient education in accordance with the FDA. This information should be reviewed prior to your consultation. Our doctors are up-to-date in their knowledge about the science and safety of breast implants, and they will review these documents with you and answer any and all of your questions at your consultation. Thank you for doing your part to educate yourself before your visit, and we look forward to seeing you at the Quatela Center very soon.

The majority of patients after a breast augmentation with a lift are able to resume normal activity within a day or two and most can return to work after three to four days; although recovery varies with individual factors. Driving should be avoided for at least five to seven days.
You may resume lower body exercise after one week. You are not allowed to do upper body work for three weeks, but after three weeks you may resume exercise with no restrictions.

There are many over-the-counter creams and oils that are available for scar treatment with variable results. We offer Silagen® scar cream as an effective way to enhance healing. Ultimately, the most important factors that aid in the best healing of your scars are to avoid UV exposure to the scar, and to massage and moisturize the scar.
You can expect to see your final result at about three months post-surgery, although changes may continue for up to one year.
