What Is a Breast Augmentation with Lift?

This dual procedure combines the volumizing effects of breast implants with the reshaping benefits of a breast lift. It addresses both volume loss and sagging by adding fullness while lifting and tightening breast tissue and repositioning the nipple-areolar complex. The result is an elevated silhouette with improved shape, projection, and symmetry.

Is This Procedure Right for You?

This procedure might be right for you if you:

  • Are unhappy with breast sagging and volume loss
  • Have nipples that point downward or fall below the breast crease
  • Want to enhance breast size while improving overall breast shape
  • Are in good health and have realistic expectations
  • Have noticed changes after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations

A personal consultation will help determine whether this combined procedure is right for you.

“I had a great time with this practice. Had my original breast augmentation, revision, and BOTOX here and have nothing but great things to say. Courtney has done such a good job helping me with just the right amount of BOTOX where I look good but my husband can still tell when I’m mad at him!” - S.H.

How Much Does It Cost?

Pricing for breast augmentation with lift depends on several factors, including the complexity of your surgery, your choice of implants, and whether any additional procedures are included. You'll receive a detailed, personalized quote during your consultation based on your unique treatment plan.

What to Expect During Surgery

Your surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically lasts 2 to 3 hours. The lift portion removes excess skin and repositions the breast tissue and nipples, while implants are placed to restore or enhance volume. Incisions are made strategically to minimize visible scarring, and all sutures are placed with a focus on long-term aesthetics.

Breast Augmentation with Lift Recovery and Results

  • Most patients return to light activity within 5 to 7 days
  • Swelling and tightness are normal in the early healing phase
  • A surgical bra will be worn for support during recovery
  • Final results begin to reveal themselves over several weeks as swelling subsides
  • Full results are typically visible within 2 to 3 months

Types of Breast Augmentation with Lift

  • Periareolar Lift with Augmentation: Ideal for mild sagging; incision around the areola.
  • Vertical Lift with Augmentation: For moderate sagging; includes a vertical incision to provide additional lift and reshaping.
  • Anchor Lift with Augmentation: Best for significant sagging; allows maximum reshaping.

Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate method to match your goals.

Breast Augmentation with Lift FAQ's

How long do breast implants typically last?

Most breast implants last 10 to 20 years, but they do not have an expiration date. Regular monitoring with your surgeon is important to assess implant integrity over time.

Can I breastfeed after a breast augmentation with lift?

While many women can still breastfeed after this surgery, it depends on the surgical technique used and individual anatomy. This should be discussed with your surgeon during consultation.

Will I need to replace my implants in the future?

Implant replacement is not always necessary but may be recommended due to aging, cosmetic preference, or implant-related complications like rupture or capsular contracture.

Does this procedure affect nipple sensation?

Changes in nipple sensation can occur after surgery. Some patients experience increased or decreased sensitivity, which is often temporary but can be permanent in rare cases.

Is a breast augmentation with lift safe for patients with autoimmune conditions?

Safety depends on the specific condition and overall health. A thorough medical evaluation is essential before proceeding with surgery if you have an autoimmune disorder.

Can I fly or travel soon after surgery?

It’s generally recommended to avoid flying for at least 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. Your surgeon will advise based on your healing progress and risk of complications.

Are there any restrictions on exercise after surgery?

Strenuous exercise, especially upper-body workouts, should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Light walking is encouraged early in recovery to support circulation.

How soon can I sleep on my side after breast augmentation with lift?

Patients are usually advised to sleep on their back for several weeks post-surgery to avoid putting pressure on healing tissues. Side sleeping can resume with your surgeon's approval.

Do implants interfere with mammograms?

Breast implants can make mammograms slightly more complex but not impossible. Inform your radiologist about your implants so they can use special imaging techniques if needed.

Can I combine this procedure with fat transfer?

Yes, some patients choose to enhance their results with fat grafting for additional contouring or to smooth transitions. This should be discussed during your consultation.
