What Is Breast Augmentation With a Lift?

Performed on its own, breast augmentation increases bust volume and improves the overall chest shape. Options for breast enhancement include implants or fat grafting for a more natural, modest increase in cup size. 

Despite its popularity and many benefits, breast augmentation cannot address the issue of breast ptosis (sagging.) For this reason, it is commonly performed in tandem with mastopexy (breast lift) to create the most flattering and restorative outcomes. A breast lift can address not only sagging skin but can also restore the nipples to a more attractive location on the chest wall.  

A combination breast augmentation and lift is typically recommended for women whose upper bodies have transformed after pregnancy and nursing. However, it is also an excellent contouring option for those who have noticed breast drooping and deflation after aging or weight loss.

Breast Augmentation with Lift Insider Tips from the Surgeons at Ann Arbor Plastic Surgery

  • If you need a lift, get a lift – Breast implants do not correct breast sagging independently. Placing implants into sagging breasts will not lift them. If your breasts sag, ask your surgeon if you need a breast lift with your implants.
  • Work with a top plastic surgeon – Getting a breast lift with implants is more complicated than getting breast implants on their own. For natural-looking results, choose a surgeon who performs many breast surgeries each year. Ann Arbor Plastic Surgery is the top breast augmentation provider in Michigan with Mentor implants.
  • Explore your options for implant type – There are three options for breast implants: saline, silicone, and cohesive silicone (gummy bear). Ask your surgeon about the pros and cons of each option to find your best fit.
  • If you have undergone weight loss surgery, your procedure will most likely have to be in two stages to achieve optimal results.

Do I Need a Breast Lift? How Can I Tell?

You need a breast lift with your breast implants if you have moderate sagging. Nipples that point downward or sit below the breast fold are indications that you may need a breast lift.

Can I Avoid A Breast Lift?

Ann Arbor Plastic Surgery specializes in the use of Gummy Bear implants. This implant, in some cases, can lift the breasts internally without breast lift scars. This procedure is reserved for people who are in between the need for a breast lift versus an implant alone. Also, these implants can be placed subfascially, which is an innovative technique developed in Brazil to increase the internal lifting ability.

How Long Does It Take to Perform a Breast Lift with Implants?

The duration of breast lift with implants surgery varies depending on the extent of the procedure and surgical techniques used. Typically, the surgery may take two to three hours. After your initial consultation, the experts at Ann Arbor Plastic Surgery will provide an estimated duration for your surgery.

Do I Need to Stay in the Surgical Facility Overnight?

During your surgery, you will be under anesthesia, ensuring you do not feel pain. After the surgery, you may experience soreness and discomfort as the anesthetic wears off. Pain medications will be prescribed to help manage discomfort, which typically subsides within a few days to a week.

How Soon Can I Return to Work Following Breast Augmentation with Lift?

Most patients can return to work one to two weeks after the procedure, depending on individual recovery. Follow your surgeon's personalized advice to ensure a safe return to work. Ann Arbor Plastic Surgery provides guidance on resuming normal activities after assessing your health and recovery.

How Soon Do You See Results After a Breast Lift with Augmentation?

Swelling and bruising around the treatment area typically resolve within one to two weeks, allowing for noticeable differences in breast shape and size. Full results may take three to six months to become visible as the body heals.

Can You Combine Other Surgeries with a Breast Lift and Augmentation?

Yes, procedures such as a tummy tuck and liposuction can be combined with a breast lift and augmentation. These combined treatments are often referred to as a mommy makeover, designed to help redefine your figure.
