In addition to increasing your self-confidence, breast augmentation can enhance your figure in the following ways: - Even Asymmetrical Breast Size - Increase Overall Breast Volume - Improve Breast Contouring

Breast implants come in a range of profiles, sizes, shapes, and types. The best option for your needs will depend on your desire for volume, shape, or enhanced cleavage. Both saline and silicone implants are approved for breast augmentation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Saline implants are made of a soft silicone shell that is filled with saline, or salt water. These implants are placed within your breasts before they are filled, allowing for a smaller incision. There is no difference in the quality of surgical placement, but many of our Minneapolis area patients find that saline does not achieve the same life-like feel as silicone. Silicone breast implants are filled with a viscous silicone gel. These implants are highly regarded for their ability to provide a lifelike appearance and feel, and when placed by Dr. Mesna, can last a long time. Silicone breast implants also carry a lower chance of breakage, but can be more expensive than the saline option.

Fat transfer, also known as natural breast augmentation, can also achieve beautiful results and is often used on its own to improve breast size or to complement other procedures. This approach requires an additional cosmetic surgery procedure: liposuction. We perform liposuction to remove excess fat from specific areas of your body. This fat can be processed, and then injected into the breasts to increase breast size or produce a more natural look in women with breast implants.

Breast implants can add volume and refine the shape of your breasts. However, if you wish to have perkier and higher breasts, then you will need a breast lift. Combining the two procedures is extremely common. With the right plastic surgeon, you can finally find the results you've wished for. If you are not a good candidate for breast implants or a breast lift, Dr. Mesna will kindly explain that to you. His patients' safety and comfort will always be his number one priority.

Breasts naturally lose elasticity and respond to the pull of gravity over the years, causing fat tissue and skin to sag. Some patients also complain of unsightly, wrinkled skin caused by skin stretching and fat loss along the cleavage area. Dr. Mesna performs breast lifts to reshape the breast tissue, tighten skin, and reposition the nipples for a perkier, more youthful look.

We offer three different types of breast lift surgery at our practice. While the anchor-keyhole technique is the most common type of breast lift surgery performed at our Minneapolis practice, the right one for you is a matter of personal choice. It also depends on Dr. Mesna’s recommendation on what will best meet your specific needs and goals, the techniques include: - Full Breast Lift or Anchor-Keyhole Incision - Mini or Lollipop Mastopexy - Crescent or Doughnut Mastopexy

All of our breast lift surgeries are outpatient, same-day surgeries performed under the comfort of general anesthesia.

Regardless of which technique is employed in your treatment, Dr. Mesna always strives to avoid removing the nipple entirely during surgery. This focus means your breast lift should not interfere with or prevent you from nursing in the future. However, it is important to note that the best time to pursue a breast lift is after you are finished having children for optimal long-term results.

Injectables contain ingredients that can reduce fine lines and wrinkles when injected under the skin. Some can reduce muscle movement along with the appearance of wrinkles, while others aim to plump the skin and stimulate collagen production. Join Dr. Mesna in our Minneapolis, MN, office to see which injectables can benefit you.

The injectable brands offered at Mesna Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Center are BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, and Sculptra®. Call or visit us online to schedule your complimentary consultation today!

Injectables can offer fantastic rejuvenation benefits for patients who have aesthetic goals but don’t want to undergo plastic surgery; however, injectables are not suitable for everyone. Candidates for treatment should be: - Physically Healthy - Non-Smokers - Of Age: The FDA requires patients to be 18 to receive botulinum toxin and at least 21 to receive fillers. - Understanding with realistic expectations for their results

Our plastic surgeon will help determine which option is best for your cosmetic goals at your initial consultation. Here at Mesna Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Center in Minneapolis, MN, we offer three types of tummy tucks: - Traditional Tummy Tuck - Mini Tummy Tuck: only addresses the area below the belly button - Extended Tummy Tuck: removes excess skin on the sides and back, in addition to performing the traditional tummy tuck

Many patients with sedentary occupations can return to work in about a week after a mini tummy tuck. After a traditional abdominoplasty, it may take up to two weeks to return to activities, and an extended tummy take may take up to several weeks.

Treatment can cost anywhere from $1,500 to $10,000. We go into the specific details about what affects the cost below, but in general, the size and location of the treatment area (or areas) are the biggest factors.

Liposuction works well in combination with many other types of body contouring procedures including abdominoplasty, arm and thigh lifts, butt lifts, and breast augmentation. While there are limits to what we can achieve in a single procedure, a combination treatment plan can be an efficient and streamlined way to achieve the comprehensive results you desire.

A blepharoplasty can provide many benefits. With this surgical procedure, Dr. Mesna can: - Improve peripheral vision - Reduce wrinkles around eyelids - Remove fat deposits that make eyes appear puffy - Eliminate bags under the eyes - Tighten loose skin - Create a more youthful appearance
