Post-pregnancy deflation leaves breasts both sagging and empty, a combination that requires both lift and volume restoration. Mastopexy-augmentation addresses both issues in one procedure, delivering fuller, elevated breasts with a single recovery period and beautifully coordinated results.
What Is Breast Lift with Implants?
This combined lift-and-augmentation procedure pairs mastopexy with implant placement in a single surgery. It elevates and reshapes breast tissue whilst adding volume, creating a fuller, more youthful contour ideal for women who have experienced deflation and drooping after pregnancy, weight loss, or ageing.
By performing both procedures together, you benefit from a single recovery period and harmoniously balanced results tailored to your frame.
Common Concerns Breast Lift with Implants Can Address
- Sagging breasts with deflated upper poles after pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Loss of volume and firmness due to ageing or significant weight loss
- Nipples pointing downwards or sitting below the breast crease
- Asymmetry in size, shape, or position requiring correction and enhancement
Are You a Good Candidate?
- Women in good health with realistic expectations about combined surgery outcomes
- Non-smokers or willing to quit at least 4 weeks before and after surgery
- Those who have completed their family or do not plan future pregnancies
Techniques & Options
Combining lift and augmentation is a balancing act, because adding volume to sagging tissue requires precise planning. Your surgeon will assess the degree of ptosis, skin laxity, chest width, and your volume goals during your consultation to recommend the best approach. The procedure pairs a specific lift pattern with implant placement to address drooping and volume loss simultaneously.
There are three main technique combinations:
Vertical Mastopexy with Implants
A lollipop-shaped incision around the areola and vertically down to the crease, combined with implant placement. Suitable for moderate sagging.
- Suitable for moderate sagging with good skin elasticity
- Leaves a vertical scar from areola to crease plus periareolar scar
- Allows precise reshaping and implant pocket creation
Anchor (Inverted-T) Mastopexy with Implants
An anchor-shaped incision for significant sagging, repositioning the nipple-areola complex and inserting implants. Provides the greatest degree of lift and reshaping.
- Best for severe ptosis with substantial excess skin
- Creates an anchor-shaped scar (around areola, vertical, and along crease)
- Provides greatest degree of lift and reshaping capability
Crescent or Periareolar Mastopexy with Implants
An incision around the areola only, suitable when sagging is mild. The implants provide most of the rejuvenation with minimal scarring.
- Ideal for minor sagging with minimal excess skin
- Scar concealed around the areola edge only
- Fastest recovery with least visible scarring
Recovery Timeline
Days 1–3
Moderate pain and tightness across the chest are normal and well-managed with prescribed medication. You'll rest comfortably at your hotel with daily check-ins from your care coordinator. Light walking is encouraged from day one.
Week 1–2
Swelling and bruising begin to subside. Light walking is encouraged and return to desk work is possible after 10–14 days. You'll start to see the new lifted, fuller shape emerging as early swelling resolves.
Weeks 3–6
Gradual return to normal activities as swelling continues to decrease. Breasts begin to settle into their final position as implants drop into place. Avoid heavy lifting and chest exercises during this period.
Months 2–6
Final breast shape and implant position fully established by 3–6 months as tissues heal and adapt completely. Scars mature and fade, becoming less noticeable over time. You can resume all normal activities including full exercise.
What to Expect
Safety & Risks
Mastopexy-augmentation is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon, but like all surgeries, it carries some risks.
- Scarring (fades over 12–18 months)
- Temporary changes in nipple sensation
- Capsular contracture (implant hardening)
- Minor asymmetry
- Infection or seroma (rare)
- Poor wound healing (uncommon)
Combining lift and augmentation introduces variables from both procedures, including implant-related and incision-healing considerations, so your surgeon will address each risk layer in relation to your tissue quality and chosen implant profile.
