A breast lift with implants, also known as augmentation mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that combines two goals: lifting sagging breasts and increasing their volume with implants. The breast lift removes excess skin and tightens the surrounding tissue to reshape and raise the breasts. The breast implants add fullness and enhance the overall size and shape. At Amelia, bra line liposuction is often included at no additional cost for added shape and contour.
A lift with augmentation increases shape and volume (the implant's job), repositions the nipple, resizes the areola, and reshapes the breast.
Though unique to every patient, expect 3-7 days of downtime with 6 weeks of lifting/water submersion restrictions.
Though you’ll see improvements along the way, expect your results around 12 months post-op.
It's important to remember that these are general guidelines. Always check in with your provider and follow their specific guidelines for your unique anatomy and treatment.
The lollipop lift scar goes around the areola and down the center of the breast, kind of like a lollipop! The breast tissue from the lower part of the breast can either moved up to the center or removed to make the breast a little less heavy.
An anchor lift scar goes around the areola, down the front, and along the breast crease. This type of lift removes the most loose skin to reshape the breast and reposition the nipple.
