Breast augmentation with lift, also known as breast augmentation-mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that enhances the size, shape, and position of the breasts. The surgery is often performed to restore the appearance of the breasts after pregnancy, weight loss, weight gain, or the natural effects of aging. By combining breast augmentation with a lift, Dr. Stephens can address two concerns at once: the need for increased breast size and the removal of excess skin that causes a drooping appearance.
The first step toward undergoing breast augmentation with lift is to sit down for a consultation with Dr. Stephens. He will ask you about your goals for the procedure and answer any questions you have about the surgery. Dr. Stephens may also examine your breasts to determine the best way to approach the procedure. He will then work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your unique needs.
Breast augmentation with lift is performed as an outpatient procedure, and it’s typically done using general anesthesia. The specifics of the breast augmentation-mastopexy procedure can vary depending on the patient’s treatment plan.
After anesthesia has been administered, Dr. Stephens will usually begin by making incisions around the outer edges of the areolas and down to the folds beneath the breasts. He will then excise any excess tissue and lift your breasts to an elevated position.
Next, Dr. Stephens will carefully insert your customized silicone or saline breast implants and place them either behind your glandular breast tissue or behind your pectoral muscles. Once the implants have been properly positioned, the doctor will pull the skin tightly and close the incisions using tiny sutures. In total, the procedure typically takes between 1.5 and 3.5 hours, and you should be able to return home a few hours after it’s finished.
This combined procedure is specifically designed for women who have noticed their breasts lose volume and begin to sit lower on the chest wall. It addresses ptosis, or sagging, by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple to a higher position. It also treats the deflated look that often follows breastfeeding or major weight loss, using breast implants to restore the fullness that skin removal alone cannot provide.
Breast augmentation with lift can offer patients several benefits:
If you’re unsatisfied with the size, shape, and position of your breasts, you could be a good candidate for breast augmentation with lift. Ideal candidates for the surgery should meet the following requirements:
Most patients experience some bruising and swelling after breast augmentation with lift, but these symptoms should subside fairly quickly. You should be able to gradually resume your normal routine after about one week, but you’ll need to refrain from strenuous exercise for at least four to six weeks.
At Stephens Plastic Surgery, we believe the healing process is just as important as the surgery itself. Dr. Stephens is known for his hands-on approach, providing patients with his personal contact information and making nightly check-in calls to ensure you are comfortable and progressing well. Our team will provide a detailed aftercare treatment plan, including guidance on wearing a supportive sports bra and managing any temporary discomfort.

You will notice an immediate change in the position and fullness of your breasts following your breast enhancement surgery. While initial swelling and bruising are normal, these will fade over the first few weeks, allowing your new breast shape to emerge. Most patients see their final results within three to six months as the breast implants settle into their better position and the breast skin adjusts to its new contours.
The results of a breast lift with implants are long-lasting, providing a firmer and more youthful profile for many years. While no surgery can stop the natural effects of aging entirely, maintaining a stable weight and following our aftercare instructions will help preserve your new silhouette. You can look forward to a renewed sense of self-confidence and a figure that feels vibrant and restored.

A breast lift (mastopexy) focuses on removing excess skin and raising the breast position, but it does not change the breast size. A breast augmentation uses implants to increase breast volume. Combining breast augmentation with a lift addresses both the size and the position simultaneously for a comprehensive transformation.
Yes, in most cases of augmentation mastopexy, the nipple and areola are moved to a more youthful position on the breast mound. This ensures that your results look natural and proportional once the extra skin is removed and the breasts are lifted.
