Breast Lift with Implants (Augmentation Mastopexy)

Breast lift with implants, also known as augmentation mastopexy, is a comprehensive procedure that combines lifting and reshaping the breasts with increasing their volume. It is particularly suitable for patients who experience both sagging and volume loss, commonly after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, or aging.

This combined approach allows the breasts to be repositioned to a more youthful level while restoring fullness, especially in the upper pole. While a breast lift alone can reshape and elevate, it may not provide sufficient volume or fullness in certain cases. The addition of implants enhances projection and creates a more defined and aesthetically pleasing contour.

The procedure involves removing excess skin, reshaping the breast tissue, repositioning the nipple and areola, and placing implants in the most suitable anatomical plane. Implant selection, including size, shape, and projection, is carefully tailored based on the patient’s anatomy, chest structure, and desired outcome.

As with breast lift procedures, this is a scar-based surgery, and incision patterns such as periareolar, vertical (lollipop), or inverted T are selected according to the degree of sagging and the amount of correction required. The goal is always to achieve optimal shape while maintaining discreet and well-positioned scars.

This procedure is highly individualized and requires a precise balance between lifting and volumizing. When properly planned and executed, it delivers natural, proportionate, and long-lasting results, enhancing both breast aesthetics and overall body harmony.
