Breast Augmentation with Lift

Breast augmentation with lift, or a breast lift with implants, is a popular procedure chosen by women who want to simultaneously address sagging breasts and enhance their breast size. Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kelly Bolden prioritizes safety and natural-looking results, offering personalized treatment plans that match each woman’s unique goals and anatomy. For women experiencing both volume loss and sagging, breast augmentation with lift provides dramatic, comprehensive rejuvenation.

What is a Breast Augmentation with Lift?

Breast augmentation with lift is an advanced cosmetic surgery procedure that combines the benefits of breast augmentation surgery with a breast lift, creating fuller breasts that sit higher on the chest. Patients can easily customize their procedure with silicone implants or saline implants, depending on their preference, to enhance the size of the breasts. Fat grafting can also be considered for a subtle enhancement while maintaining the look and feel of natural breast tissue. Patients can also choose from various breast implant placement options, typically behind or in front of the chest muscles (pectoral muscles). Before these implants are placed, Dr. Bolden will remove excess skin from the breasts and reshape the remaining tissue to create a beautiful, rounded breast shape that restores a more youthful appearance.

Benefits of a Breast Augmentation with Lift

Enhance Breast Size

Breast augmentation with lift provides a noticeable increase in breast volume. Your breast implant size will be customized for your desired results and unique physique.

Improves Symmetry

By repositioning the breast tissue and nipples, patients can achieve more symmetrically sized and positioned breasts. Down-turned nipples or irregularities in the nipples can also be addressed.

Restore Youthful-Looking Breasts

A breast augmentation with lift elevates the breasts, bringing them to a more youthful position on the chest wall. This can combat the appearance of sagging breasts after pregnancy, aging, or weight loss.

Boost Confidence

By achieving fuller, lifted breasts, women feel more comfortable and confident in their appearance. This newfound confidence can have a positive impact on social interactions, professional life, and overall well-being.

Ideal Candidates for a Breast Augmentation with Lift

Candidates for breast augmentation with lift are often those whose breasts have changed due to pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging. This combination is a great way to enhance breast volume while lifting sagging breasts to restore breast symmetry and a beautiful contour that accentuates your body contour. Patients must be in good overall health with no underlying health concerns and committed to following all post-surgical guidelines to ensure a safe and successful recovery. At your initial consultation with Dr. Bolden, she will assess your medical history, examine your breasts, and discuss your concerns to create a personalized breast enhancement surgery plan.

Common Related Procedures

A breast augmentation with lift can be performed with other body contouring procedures for a dramatic transformation.

• Tummy Tuck: Remove sagging skin from the stomach and tighten weakened abdominal muscles for a more toned appearance.
• Liposuction: Eliminate stubborn fat that is resistant to diet and exercise for a leaner physique.
• Brazilian Butt Lift: Accentuate your contours and achieve your body goals.

What to Expect During Treatment

The breast augmentation procedure with lift is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes a few hours. During your breast implant surgery with lift, Dr. Bolden will carefully remove excess fat and breast tissue, place the breast implants of your choice, and lift the remaining breast skin and tissue to create proportionate, balanced breasts. This is done through an incision in the breast crease and/or around the nipple areolar complex, where visible scarring can be minimized. Once the procedure is completed, the incisions will be bandaged, and drains may be placed. This is an outpatient procedure, meaning patients can return home after a short monitoring period with our surgical team.

Recovery & Results

Patients should expect moderate swelling, bruising, and soreness after their surgical procedure, but this will improve significantly after one week. You will be given prescription pain medication and a surgical bra, which should be worn at all times for the first few weeks to support the healing process and keep the breasts in their new, lifted position. Most patients can return to work and daily activities after two weeks, but strenuous activities must be avoided for up to six weeks. As swelling continues to reduce and the scars heal, patients will see the final results of their procedure. With a healthy lifestyle, these results will last many years.
