Breast augmentation can beautifully restore or enhance volume — but for some women, implants alone may not be enough to achieve the full, youthful shape they want. If your breasts have begun to sag, or if your nipples sit lower than they once did, adding a breast lift (mastopexy) to your augmentation may help create a more balanced, natural-looking result.
On their own, breast augmentation and breast lift surgeries serve different purposes. Augmentation with implants adds volume and fullness, while a lift repositions and reshapes the breasts for a firmer, more elevated contour. When combined, these procedures can improve fullness and restore youthful positioning and shape by enhancing both the size and silhouette of your breasts.
So how do you know if you might benefit from a lift with your augmentation? Here are a few common signs:
- Nipple position: If your nipples sit at or below the breast fold, a lift is likely needed to reposition them to a more youthful height.
- Sagging or skin laxity: Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight changes can stretch breast tissue, causing drooping that implants alone can’t correct.
- Volume deflation: If your breasts appear “empty” in the upper portion, combining a lift with augmentation can restore both fullness and perkiness.
- Asymmetry: A lift can help even out breasts that differ in position or shape, ensuring your implants sit symmetrically.
For many women, a breast augmentation with lift provides the best of both worlds — the youthful elevation and shape you crave along with the volume enhancement that implants provide. The result is not just larger breasts, but a more sculpted, proportional figure that looks natural and harmonious with the rest of your body.
I’m Dr. Leela, and I believe breast enhancement should be about restoring confidence, not just size. During your consultation, I’ll evaluate your anatomy, discuss your goals, and help you determine whether implants alone or a combined breast lift and augmentation will give you the most beautiful, lasting result.
