For many women considering breast enhancement, a combined approach – pairing a breast lift with implants – offers a way to achieve a fuller, more lifted appearance.
This transformative option – performed at Altos Oaks Plastic Surgery, where all our surgeons are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons – is ideal for addressing both sagging and volume loss in one surgery.
Here’s a closer look at when combining these two procedures might be right for you.
Breast Lift vs. Implants
A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, lifts and reshapes sagging breasts. It addresses concerns like drooping and excess skin. This procedure alone provides a lifted contour. It does not add volume, though.
In contrast, breast implants enhance the size and fullness of the breasts. They create a more rounded look.
When you combine these two procedures, they provide a dramatic enhancement. They lift and reshape the breasts while also adding volume for a youthful, fuller appearance.
When to Consider Combining Procedures
Combining a breast lift and implants often benefits women experiencing multiple changes in their breast shape.
This includes those who have undergone significant weight loss or pregnancy, both of which can lead to sagging and volume loss. The breasts may lose their natural lift and fullness as the skin stretches.
Additionally, natural sagging occurs as we age, often paired with a gradual decrease in volume. A combined breast lift with implants allows patients to address both issues simultaneously. It provides a single, streamlined recovery period for a more efficient transformation.
Benefits of a Breast Lift with Implants
Combining a breast lift and augmentation offers several unique benefits:
- It delivers enhanced fullness and shape. It gives patients a rejuvenated, youthful contour that a lift or implants alone might not achieve.
- It offers longer-lasting results by addressing sagging and volume at once. This reduces the need for future corrective procedures.
- It provides the opportunity to tailor the results of your procedure. This is ideal for those seeking a customized aesthetic.
