Breast Lift With Implants

A breast lift with implants, also known as a mastopexy-augmentation, combines breast lift surgery with breast augmentation. This procedure not only lifts the breasts to a more youthful position but also enhances their size with implants, resulting in fuller and perkier breasts. It addresses common issues such as sagging and volume loss or part of the weight loss surgery. The procedure restores breast shape, creating a balanced and rejuvenated appearance that complements your body.

Who Should Consider Breast Lift Surgery?

Breast lift surgery is ideal for women seeking a breast lift with or without implants. Women who notice breast sagging, reduced firmness, or volume loss due to age, pregnancy, or weight changes may benefit. If you desire more fullness along with lifted breasts, combining the lift with implants might be suitable. Candidates should be in good physical health and at a stable body weight. It’s a transformative procedure aimed at improving both appearance and confidence.

Benefits of Breast Lift with Implants

A combined breast lift and augmentation procedure offers multiple advantages:

• Improved fullness and symmetry
• Enhanced body proportions
• Reduced sagging
• Boost in confidence

The combination approach is particularly popular for women who want the effect of a push-up bra without needing additional padding.

Types of Techniques

Various techniques are available for achieving optimal outcomes in a breast lift with implants:

• Anchor Technique: This method is well-suited for correcting significant drooping. It involves incisions around the areola, extending vertically down the breast and along the fold, which allows for substantial reshaping and lifting.
• Vertical or Lollipop Technique: Intended for moderate sagging, this technique involves an incision around the areola and a single vertical line down to the breast crease, avoiding any horizontal scars. It provides an effective lift and a more subtle enhancement.
• Implant Placement Options: Implants can be positioned either over or under the chest muscle, depending on factors like body type and desired outcome. Both saline and silicone implants are available, each with distinct advantages depending on individual preferences.

These techniques are selected based on your individual needs to ensure a natural and aesthetically attractive result.

The Surgical Process

The breast lift with implants procedure typically takes 3 to 4 hours and is performed on an outpatient basis. Both lifting and volume enhancement are addressed during surgery to achieve a balanced and natural look. Liposuction may be included to contour surrounding areas. Our physicians, Dr. Natasha Luckey and Dr. Kristina O’Shaughnessy ensure compassionate and individualized care throughout the process.

Breast Lift Recovery Time and Care

Recovery involves an initial rest period of around one week, followed by a gradual return to normal activities. Full breast lift recovery takes a few weeks, during which swelling and discomfort can be managed with medication. Following postoperative care instructions is essential for optimal healing and lasting results.
