Breast Lift with Augmentation

(Augmentation-Mastopexy)

Shape and volume in one—harmonizing lift and tasteful enhancement for balanced, elegant results.

Overview

When both position and volume are concerns, a combined lift with augmentation elevates the breast and adds precise fullness. Dr. Slamin balances implant size with internal support so the breast holds shape gracefully over time.

Surgical Notes

  • Downtime: Desk work in 7 days; phased activity over 3–6 weeks
  • Anesthesia: General anesthesia
  • Setting: Accredited surgery center
  • Incisions/Scars: Vertical or anchor scars
  • Results Timeline: Early uplift and volume immediately; final shape by ~3-6 months
  • Longevity: 10+ years for lift; implant monitoring as needed

 

Goals of Breast Lift with Augmentation

  • Restore upper-pole fullness while lifting nipples to ideal position
  • Create round, youthful contour with proportionate projection
  • Improve symmetry in a single stage when appropriate
  • Enhance confidence in clothing and self-image

Candidates for Breast Lift with Augmentation

  • Deflation plus descent after pregnancy/weight change
  • Desire comprehensive correction in one operation, lift plus modest enlargement
  • Good health and realistic expectations about scars and healing
  • Nonsmoker committed to recovery protocols

Dr. Slamin’s Approach to Breast Lift with Augmentation

Consultation & Planning

We map your breast footprint, skin envelope, nipple position, and asymmetry, then select an implant/projection that respects your anatomy and lifestyle. Comprehensive 3D simulation of results helps you envision the results.

Technical Aspects

  • Pocket Control: Prepectoral or dual-plane placement for natural slope
  • Soft Tissue Shaping: Skin and breast parenchyma are molded around the implant to create an ideal shape, excess is removed.
  • Internal Bra: In select cases mesh support can be utilized to improve lift longevity
  • Areolar Refinement: Size and shape harmonized with the new breast mound
  • Staging When Prudent: In complex anatomy or very thin tissues, we may recommend a staged plan for safety and precision

Day of Procedure

Surgery typically takes 2–3 hours. You’ll go home the same day in a soft surgical bra.
