Eterna Breast Lift in San Antonio
With the passage of time, breasts can start to sag. Weight loss, pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing can also take their toll on the breasts, leaving the skin stretched and loose. Many women say they would love to rejuvenate their breasts — to have them look and feel firmer and higher again. But do you have to resort to major surgery to accomplish that?
If you do not want to physically enlarge your breasts, but just give them a boost, our Eterna Breast Lift could be exactly the alternative you’re looking for.
What is the Eterna Breast Lift?
Dr. Hernandez offers this non-surgical alternative that can produce significant improvement without the negatives associated with invasive surgery. For the Eterna Breast Lift, she performs a Renuvion J-Plasma procedure on the breasts, primarily to firm the skin. Patients love this option because it offers:
- Shorter procedure time
- Less recovery time
- Less pain and discomfort
- Surgical-like results
Renuvion J-Plasma is the latest advancement in skin tightening — a safe, precise technology that uses radiofrequency-heated helium gas to contract proteins, collagen, and the fibrous network beneath the skin’s surface. Renuvion treatment helps the breasts regain their firmer shape and feel. Dr. Elizabeth Hernandez may also use EuroThreads for added lift in some patients. In some cases, she may use VASERlipo to reduce the size of both breasts, if desired, or to rebalance symmetry, if needed.
Dr. Hernandez is experienced and skilled in using these treatment options to achieve optimal, personalized results.
Who is a Good Candidate for an Eterna Breast Lift?
Because breasts can start to lose their firmness at any age, even young women in their 20s who have loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy can benefit from a Renuvion J-Plasma treatment on the breasts. Our patients are typically in their 20s to 50s.
That said, the best candidates for the Eterna Breast Lift:
- Have breasts that are a C or smaller cup size
- Have a BMI (body mass index) of 30 or lower
- Have skin that still retains its elasticity (if skin is too thin or too loose, results will be disappointing)
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, you will have to wait to schedule your Eterna Breast Lift.
What happens during an Eterna Breast Lift?
The Eterna Breast Lift is an outpatient procedure, so you can arrive and go home the same day. Dr. Hernandez uses local anesthesia, which she will discuss with you prior to your treatment. During the procedure, Dr. Hernandez makes just 1 or 2 tiny incisions to insert the device that delivers the Renuvion J-plasma energy which works to contract the skin.
The Eterna Breast Lift usually takes from 1 to 3 hours, depending on breast size. Rarely do patients require more than one treatment to achieve their desired results.
