Breast Augmentation with Lift Surgery

Improve Breast Contour, Volume, and Position with Combined Breast Cosmetic Surgery by Dr. Won

Loss of breast volume and sagging can affect both shape and position. Breast augmentation with lift combines implants to restore fullness with surgical reshaping to elevate the breasts and reposition the nipples.

At Dr. Won Cosmetic Surgery in Seattle, Dr. Won evaluates your anatomy to achieve a fuller, lifted contour that complements your proportions.

Combining Breast Augmentation with Mastopexy

Breast augmentation with lift, also known as augmentation mastopexy, combines breast augmentation with a breast lift (mastopexy) to improve volume, shape, and position. Implants add fullness, while lifting techniques remove excess skin, reshape the underlying tissue, and raise the nipple-areola complex.

By addressing volume loss and sagging together, the surgery can create a fuller, firmer contour in one operation. The surgical plan depends on your existing tissue, skin elasticity, degree of ptosis (sagging), and implant preferences.

Breast Augmentation with Lift vs. Breast Lift Alone

A breast lift corrects sagging by removing excess skin, reshaping tissue, and elevating the nipple-areola complex. However, it does not add significant volume. Breast augmentation with lift also uses implants to restore fullness, making it a suitable option when both volume loss and ptosis are concerns.

The choice between the two procedures depends on your existing breast volume, skin elasticity, and desired contour. Patients who are satisfied with their size but want a higher, firmer shape may benefit from a lift alone. Those seeking increased fullness along with improved positioning may consider the combined approach. Dr. Won can evaluate these factors to determine which surgery is appropriate for your anatomy.

Who Is a Candidate for Breast Augmentation with Lift?

You may be a candidate for augmentation mastopexy if you want to restore volume while correcting sagging or changes in nipple position. Dr. Won evaluates your anatomy, skin elasticity, and overall health to determine whether combined surgery is appropriate.

Candidates may include individuals who:

• Have lost breast volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes.
• Have sagging tissue or downward-pointing nipples.
• Want increased fullness and a higher breast position.
• Have asymmetry in size, shape, or position.
• Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.

Patients should be at a stable weight and, when applicable, finished breastfeeding. Future pregnancy or significant weight changes may affect surgical results.

How Breast Augmentation with Lift Is Performed

Dr. Won performs augmentation mastopexy under general anesthesia. The procedure combines implant placement with techniques to reshape and elevate the existing tissue.

The surgery generally involves:

• Incisions: Incision patterns are selected based on the degree of sagging and the amount of skin to be removed.
• Implant placement: Implants are positioned to restore volume and improve contour.
• Tissue reshaping: Excess skin is removed, and the remaining tissue is lifted and shaped.
• Nipple repositioning: The nipple-areola complex is moved to a more balanced position while maintaining its blood supply.
• Incision closure: The incisions are closed to support healing and the resulting contour.

The specific technique depends on your anatomy, implant selection, and the extent of correction required.

Recovery and Results: What to Expect

Temporary swelling, bruising, and soreness are expected as the incisions heal and the implants settle into position, with these symptoms gradually subsiding over the first several weeks. Initial results are visible shortly after surgery, although changes in breast shape and position continue as swelling subsides over the following weeks and months.

Strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and activities that place tension on the incisions should be avoided until Dr. Won clears you to resume them. Wearing recommended support garments and attending follow-up appointments help monitor your healing progress.

Breast Augmentation with Lift Cost in Seattle

The cost of breast augmentation with lift in Seattle depends on several factors, including implant type, surgical complexity, the extent of tissue reshaping, and anesthesia and facility fees. Because the procedure combines two surgical techniques, the total cost may differ from augmentation or a lift performed alone.

During your consultation, Dr. Won will assess your anatomy, discuss implant options, and develop a surgical plan. You will receive information about the associated costs based on your recommended procedure.
