Over time, a woman’s breasts can begin to droop, losing their youthful firmness and shape. A breast augmentation with a breast lift can help patients to achieve enhanced breasts that are also perkier and more youthful. By combining these two procedures, patients can cut down on the number of surgeries and recovery time in order to achieve the aesthetic they desire.
Anyone whose breasts have lost volume shape, or firmness due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations can benefit from a breast augmentation with lift. Those who are in good health, have maintained a steady body weight, and have realistic expectations are likely good candidates for this procedure. In order to determine candidacy, contact our office today to schedule a consultation with one of our skilled plastic surgeons.

learn moreThe breast augmentation with lift procedure incorporates the steps of a breast lift procedure with a breast lift procedure. First, incisions for the breast augmentation will be created to insert the breast implants (saline or silicone). There are a number of incision techniques used for a breast augmentation and lift, including:
This incision is created around the outer edge of the areola. This technique is often used when a mild to moderate breast lift is performed along with an augmentation.
Is created around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease. This technique is often used for patients with a moderate degree of ptosis or drooping.
This incision is created around the areola and vertically down the breast crease, with an additional incision along the breast crease. This option is often used for breasts with a significant amount of sagging.
The nipple and areola will then be moved higher on the breast, and the breast reshaped to achieve the desired contour. Any excess skin will be trimmed away to create a more defined outcome. Any incisions will be closed with sutures.
Following breast augmentation with lift, bruising, swelling, and discomfort may occur, which should fade over the first two weeks. BE sure to sleep on your back in an inclined position during healing to help reduce swelling. Also, patients should avoid heavy lifting or extensive exercise for up to six weeks. Your plastic surgeon will provide you with special recovery instructions to ensure a quick and safe recovery with optimal results. Any scars resulting from surgery will begin to fade within a few months and will continue to fade for years to come. Please do not hesitate to contact Tucson Plastic Surgery if you have any concerns or questions following your procedure.
