Breast Augmentation With Lift in Orlando & Winter Park

Enhance breast volume and lift sagging tissue for a fuller, lifted breast contour with Dr. Brian P. Joseph.

Breast augmentation with lift combines breast augmentation and mastopexy to address both breast volume and sagging. Breast implants add volume and fullness, while a breast lift raises and reshapes breast tissue and repositions the nipple when needed.

Dr. Brian P. Joseph of Park Avenue Plastic Surgery & Spa provides breast augmentation and lift surgery for patients seeking a fuller, lifted breast contour in Orlando and Winter Park, FL.

What Is Breast Augmentation With a Lift?

Breast augmentation with a lift combines breast implants with breast lift surgery. The augmentation portion increases breast volume using an implant, while the lift addresses sagging by removing excess skin and reshaping and repositioning the breast tissue.

Breast augmentation alone can increase breast size, but does not lift significantly sagging breast tissue. A breast lift can raise and reshape the breasts, but does not add the volume provided by an implant. Combining the procedures allows both concerns to be addressed during the same surgical plan.

The specific approach depends on your breast anatomy, degree of sagging, amount of existing breast tissue, skin characteristics, and desired change.

Who Is a Candidate for Breast Augmentation With Lift?

Breast augmentation with lift may be appropriate for patients who want to increase breast volume while also addressing sagging or a lower breast position. You may be considered for the procedure if you have:

Lost breast volume or fullness
Breasts that have become less firm or more sagging with age
Changes in breast shape or volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
Nipples that point downward or sit lower on the breast
A desire for larger breasts along with a breast lift
Realistic expectations about what surgery can accomplish

Benefits of Combining Breast Augmentation and a Lift

Combining breast augmentation and a breast lift allows the procedure to address both volume and breast position. Depending on your anatomy and surgical plan, potential benefits include:

Increasing breast volume
Addressing breast sagging
Improving breast position
Restoring fullness that has been lost over time
Reshaping the breasts
Creating a more balanced relationship between breast size and breast position

How Breast Augmentation With Lift Is Performed

Breast augmentation with lift begins with surgical planning based on your existing breast tissue, skin, breast position, and desired volume. Your surgeon will determine the appropriate implant and breast lift approach for your anatomy.

During surgery, the implant is placed to increase breast volume. The breast lift portion removes excess skin and reshapes and repositions breast tissue to raise the breasts. The nipple and areola may also be repositioned as part of the lift.

The incision pattern and surgical technique vary according to the degree of breast sagging and the amount of reshaping needed. Your surgeon will discuss the planned approach during your consultation rather than using the same technique for every patient.

Choosing Breast Implants for Breast Augmentation With Lift

Implant selection is an important part of breast augmentation with lift. Your surgeon will consider your existing breast tissue, chest dimensions, skin characteristics, and desired increase in breast volume when discussing implant options.

Breast implants are available in different types, sizes, shapes, and profiles. Park Avenue Plastic Surgery & Spa offers breast augmentation using saline and silicone implants. The implant that is appropriate for you depends on your individual anatomy and surgical goals.

Choosing an implant is not simply a matter of selecting a particular size. Your surgeon will help determine an option that fits your breast and chest anatomy while accounting for the amount of volume you want to add.

Breast Augmentation With Lift Recovery and Results

Recovery begins with a period of swelling, bruising, and changes in breast position as the tissues heal. Your breasts may initially appear higher or feel firmer than expected. These early changes do not represent the final result.

As healing progresses, swelling decreases, and the breast tissue and implants settle into a more natural position. Incisions also continue to heal, and scars gradually mature. The timing of these changes varies from patient to patient.

Your activity restrictions and return to exercise, work, and other activities will depend on your surgery and individual recovery. Following your postoperative instructions and attending scheduled follow-up appointments are important parts of recovery.

Breast augmentation with lift results are not immediately apparent after surgery. The final appearance develops as swelling resolves and the breasts settle during healing. Changes to breast size, shape, and position can also occur later with aging, weight changes, pregnancy, and other factors.

Cost of Breast Augmentation With Lift Surgery

The cost of breast augmentation with lift varies from patient to patient because the procedure combines two surgeries and requires an individualized surgical plan. Factors that can affect the total cost include the type and size of breast implants selected, surgical and facility fees, anesthesia, and the extent of breast lifting and reshaping required.

Because these factors differ for each patient, the most accurate way to determine the total cost is through a consultation.

Surgical Expertise in Breast Surgery in Orlando

As a double board-certified plastic surgeon in Orlando, Dr. Brian P. Joseph has focused on cosmetic surgery of the breast, face, and body for more than 25 years. His extensive experience with breast augmentation and breast lift surgery gives him a deep understanding of how changes in breast volume, skin, tissue, and position can affect the overall breast shape.

For breast augmentation with lift, the goal is not simply to make the breasts larger or lift them higher. The implant and lift must work together to achieve the desired change in volume and contour while accounting for the patient’s existing anatomy.

Dr. Joseph brings this perspective to each surgical plan, considering the breast as a whole rather than focusing on a single aspect of the procedure.

Breast Augmentation With Lift FAQs

Do I need a breast lift with my breast augmentation?

Not necessarily. Breast augmentation alone may be appropriate when the primary concern is breast volume, and there is little or no significant sagging. A lift may be considered when the breasts have a lower position or excess skin that augmentation alone cannot adequately address.

Will I have scars?

Yes. A breast lift requires incisions, so some degree of scarring is expected. The location and extent of scars depend on the lift technique needed for your breast anatomy. Scars are initially more noticeable and typically change in appearance as they mature over time.

Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation with a lift?

Breast surgery can affect the ability to breastfeed, and it is not possible to predict with certainty how surgery will affect an individual patient's ability to produce milk. If future pregnancy or breastfeeding is important to you, discuss this with Dr. Joseph before surgery.

Should I lose weight before breast augmentation with a lift?

Significant weight changes can affect breast size and shape and may alter surgical results. If you are planning substantial weight loss, discuss the timing of surgery with your surgeon so your treatment can be planned appropriately.
