A breast lift with implants combines two popular cosmetic procedures—breast augmentation and breast lift (mastopexy)—to enhance both the size and shape of the breasts. This combination surgery is ideal for women seeking to increase breast volume while addressing sagging or drooping. Whether you’ve experienced breast changes due to aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or simply want a more youthful, fuller look, a breast lift with implants can deliver dramatic, long-lasting results.
A breast lift with implants is a dual procedure that reshapes and raises sagging breasts while also increasing volume using silicone or saline implants. The breast lift component tightens and lifts the breast tissue, removing excess skin to create a more youthful and firmer appearance. The implants are then placed to add fullness and achieve a balanced, enhanced look. This combination surgery allows you to achieve both lift and volume, addressing multiple aesthetic concerns in a single procedure.
You may be a good candidate for a breast lift with implants if you:
Have sagging or drooping breasts but also want to increase their size.
Have lost breast volume due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss.
Have stretched or loose breast skin.
Experience downward-pointing nipples or stretched areolas.
Are in good overall health and maintain a stable weight.
Have realistic expectations about the results.
Women who are planning future pregnancies or significant weight loss are usually advised to wait before undergoing the procedure, as these factors can affect the long-term results.
The procedure allows you to choose between two main types of implants:
Silicone Implants: These implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel, which mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. They are popular for providing a more natural look and feel.
Saline Implants: These implants are filled with sterile salt water and are inserted empty, then filled once inside the breast. Saline implants can be adjusted for size and are generally firmer than silicone implants.
The implants come in different shapes (round or teardrop) and sizes to suit your body type and desired outcome.
The surgery typically takes about 2 to 4 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon begins by making an incision for the breast lift. The type of incision varies depending on the amount of sagging, with common techniques including:
Crescent or Periareolar (Donut) Incision: For minimal sagging, the incision is made around the areola.
Lollipop Incision: For moderate sagging, the incision is made around the areola and down to the breast crease.
Anchor Incision: For more significant sagging, an additional horizontal incision is made along the breast crease.
Once the lift is completed, the surgeon places the implants either above or below the chest muscle, depending on your anatomy and goals. The breasts are then reshaped, the nipples repositioned if necessary, and the incisions are closed with sutures.
Recovery from a breast lift with implants typically takes 1 to 2 weeks. During the first few days, you may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Your surgeon will provide a supportive surgical bra to wear during the healing process, which helps minimize swelling and promote proper healing.
You should avoid strenuous activities, lifting, or exercise for about 4 to 6 weeks. Most patients can return to work and light activities within a week or two, depending on the extent of the surgery and individual recovery rates.
Increased Volume and Fullness: The implants add volume to the breasts, creating a fuller and more proportionate appearance.
Restored Youthful Shape: The breast lift raises and tightens sagging breasts, giving them a more youthful, perkier appearance.
Improved Nipple Position: Sagging often leads to downward-pointing nipples, which are corrected during the breast lift for a more balanced and natural look.
Customizable Results: You can choose the size, shape, and type of implants to match your aesthetic goals, providing highly personalized results.
Long-Lasting Confidence: Many women report a significant boost in self-confidence after the procedure, as they feel more comfortable and satisfied with their body’s appearance.
As with any surgery, there are potential risks involved, including infection, scarring, implant rupture, and capsular contracture (hardening of the tissue around the implant). However, these risks are minimized by choosing a skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon and following all post-operative care instructions.
A breast lift with implants is a highly effective way to achieve both fuller, lifted breasts and a rejuvenated, youthful appearance. Whether you're looking to restore volume lost from pregnancy, aging, or weight changes, or simply want to enhance your natural breast shape and size, this combination surgery can provide long-lasting, beautiful results. By working with an experienced surgeon, you can achieve personalized outcomes that enhance both your figure and your self-confidence.
Most professional transplant surgeon in recent times I would recommend for any skin related or transplant related issues.
The appointment service was straightforward to use and well-managed, and I had no issues.
I must admit that I was apprehensive to visit a plastic surgery. He informed me of my problem and promised to find a solution.
Doctor Services exceeded my expectations.
I have been going to see Dr. Praveen Chandra for over few months back and can’t say enough about his care. From entering his office and working with his kind assistant, to the cleanliness and order of his treatment room, all the way to the check out process – his office and professionalism is second to none. As for the care he provides I truly appreciated his approach of treating me as a whole, not a collection of potential disparate problems.
I consulted Dr Praveen for Hair Transplant. He did an excellent job!!! My hair transplant healed in no time and I never experienced any pain. I highly recommend Dr Praveen to anyone who wishes to undergo Hair transplant. He is the Best Doctor in Bangalore and the pricing in his clinic is very good too!
Really Exellent Doctor.
Treatment started month back, following all instructions regularly. Seems already seeing my good response. Happy now
Dr explained in detail everything and also suggested options. He didn’t push for any major treatment which generally otherwise I have seen people doing. He explained what result to be expected of each of the three treatment styles and how much time it will take. I have started my treatment and I will recommend him over many others.
The doctor was clear about the intricacies of the process. The doctor was observant in hearing about my thought process and clarified with all my queries. This made me more comfortable and gave me a relaxing mindset. I would recommend the clinic for my family and friends.
