Top Benefits of Breast Lift with Implants Surgery
Breast lift with implants surgery provides numerous benefits, especially for those who are struggling with both volume loss and excess breast skin (sagging breasts). These issues may be due to aging, weight loss or general weight fluctuations, or pregnancy and breastfeeding.
No matter your interest in a breast lift with implants, this surgery can be transformational for both your silhouette and your confidence levels. Before we take a closer look at the particular benefits, however, let’s explain exactly what this procedure entails.
What Is a Breast Lift with Implants Procedure?
Breast lift with implants surgery (also known as breast augmentation mastopexy or a breast augmentation with lift) is a plastic surgery procedure that combines two traditional procedures: Breast augmentation (breast implants) and breast lift surgery.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Lift Surgery with Implants?
Both for breast lift surgery and for breast augmentation, it’s important that patients be in good physical health. This is a complex procedure that will take extended time in the operating room, so we want to do everything we can to avoid complications during surgery and during your recovery.
This means that we’re going to check your general health during the pre-surgery phase, and some patients will need to undergo additional
physical tests, (imaging scans, blood draws, etc.) in order to be cleared to proceed.
The best candidates for breast lift surgery with implants are looking to increase the size of their breasts while also lifting them. Commonly, this includes women who have gone through childbirth and/or breastfeeding and women who have had more extreme weight fluctuations in the past. Aging can also cause volume loss and sagging breasts.
Many women who have gone through one or multiple pregnancies and one or multiple seasons of breastfeeding will find out their breasts have sagged over time. They may have some stretch marks on their breasts that they don’t like, and their nipples may be pointing downward. The same can be true after aging and weight loss.
When women with these issues also want to add volume to their breasts, a breast lift with implants is usually the perfect surgery.
Benefits of Breast Lift with Implants
1. Lifted, Perkier Breasts
During breast lift surgery, plastic surgeons remove excess skin and adjust the remaining breast tissue and skin to create perkier breasts.
This provides a more youthful shape and overall appearance. The nipples can also be lifted to a higher position and projection so that they are no longer lower than the breast crease.
2. Increased Breast Volume (Larger Breasts)
Unfortunately, sometimes a breast lift alone can actually cause a breast reduction when you look at overall size. Therefore, the breast augmentation procedure portion of this breast enhancement surgery will increase the breast size. Patients will choose a breast implant that meets their needs (size, shape, material, texture, and projection).
3. Less Recovery Time Overall
Many patients who desire lifted breasts with an increase in volume conclude: “If I want implants breast lift surgery is just one more step”. And this can be true.
The breast lift with implants recovery time will be shortened if you compare it with the combined recovery time of going through the two surgeries separately. This is particularly helpful for patients who may have trouble getting time off from work for recovery.
4. Fewer Scars
In the vast majority of augmentation mastopexy procedure cases, scars on the breast lift with implants are not extensive because the same incisions can usually be used for both the implant insertion and the lift component of surgery. This is typically done through an incision around the areola or in the breast crease.

FAQ: Breast Augmentation MastopexyHow much is a breast lift with implants?
Your breast lift with implants cost is going to naturally vary depending on the specifics of your proposed procedure and your unique goals. It’s best to schedule a consultation appointment first. That way, Dr. Sieber will have a chance to assess your goals, anatomy, and medical history, and from there, he can provide you with an accurate estimate.
Can a breast lift be done with existing implants?
Typically, yes. If you have current breast implants that are in good condition and you are in good physical health, you should be able to undergo a breast lift surgery while you have existing breast implants.
Note: It may be beneficial to go to the same plastic surgeon who performed your breast augmentation surgery when undergoing breast surgery post-implants.
