What Is a Breast Lift with Implants?

A breast lift with implants (medically referred to as an augmentation-mastopexy) addresses two common concerns at once: a loss of fullness, especially in the upper pole, and sagging of breast tissue. Silicone or saline implants can help restore volume and projection, while the lift repositions the breasts higher on the chest and reshapes the skin envelope for a perkier, firmer appearance. This combination of breast augmentation and breast lift surgery is often particularly appealing for women who have noticed changes after pregnancy, breastfeeding, significant weight loss, or aging. By blending augmentation with a lift, patients can achieve larger, shapelier breasts in a single surgery, avoiding the need for two separate procedures and recovery periods.

Am I a Candidate for Breast Augmentation with Lift?

The best candidates are typically women who wish to increase breast size or enhance fullness in the upper pole while correcting sagging breasts and/or downward-pointing nipples. Breast implants can also, in some cases, be combined with a breast reduction for enhancement in shape and an overall reduction in breast tissue. Good overall health, stable body weight, and realistic expectations are important for optimal outcomes. During your consultation, Dr. Amaka will assess your breast tissue, skin quality, and desired look to determine whether augmentation-mastopexy is right for you.

How Is the Augmentation-Mastopexy Procedure Performed?

The surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. During your private consultation, Dr. Amaka will review implant options—including the size, shape, and material—and discuss your preferences for placement either beneath the chest muscle or above it. On the day of surgery, she begins with carefully planned incisions to remove excess skin and reshape the breast tissue. Then, she inserts the implants and closes the incisions with meticulous suturing to support long-lasting results and minimize visible scarring.

Recovery varies with the extent of the lift and implant size, but most patients return to light daily activities within several days. Swelling and mild discomfort are normal during the first week. Dr. Amaka provides detailed aftercare instructions, recommends wearing a supportive surgical bra, and typically advises patients to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for at least six weeks. Final results should emerge as swelling subsides and the implants settle.

How Much Does a Breast Augmentation with Lift Cost?

Because every treatment plan is customized, the cost of a breast lift with implants procedure can vary based on implant selection, surgical complexity, anesthesia, and facility fees. After evaluating your goals, Dr. Amaka can create a detailed, personalized treatment plan and a friendly member of our team will develop a total price estimate. We can also go over payment options and financing opportunities for qualified applicants available through reputable third-party lenders. These flexible plans can make the procedure more affordable while allowing you to schedule surgery at the right time for your lifestyle.
