Breast augmentation and mastopexy is a combined procedure that enhances breast volume with implants and lifts the breasts for a more youthful position. A mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical technique that removes excess skin and reshapes the tissue to raise sagging breasts and improve nipple placement. When performed alongside augmentation, the procedure addresses both volume loss and drooping in a single surgery. This combination is especially beneficial after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight changes. The result is a fuller, more lifted, and symmetrical appearance tailored to each patient’s goals.
Breast augmentation and mastopexy is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia. The procedure begins with incisions, typically around the areola and vertically down the breast, to allow access for both implant placement and skin tightening. Implants are inserted to restore or enhance volume, while excess skin is removed to lift and reshape the breast. The nipples may be repositioned, and the areolas can be adjusted for symmetry. Each step is customized to match your body, preferences, and implant choice for harmonious, natural-looking results.
Results are long-lasting. Implants can last many years, and the lift typically holds well with proper support and healthy habits.
