What Is a Breast Lift with Implants?

A breast lift with implants is a combination procedure that involves removing loose skin and placing silicone or saline implants to achieve your goal size. Breast surgery with a lift and augmentation addresses multiple concerns such as position, shape, and size to create younger, perkier-looking breasts.

As women age, it’s common to experience a loss of breast fullness, sagging skin, or both. Some may notice that their breasts appear deflated or droopy due to pregnancy, weight changes, or the natural aging process. If you would like to increase breast volume while also eliminating loose skin, our board-certified plastic surgeon in Dallas, TX, Dr. Phillip Dauwe, can perform a breast lift with implants — also referred to as breast augmentation with a lift — to rejuvenate the breasts in a single procedure.

Make an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Dauwe to go over your unique goals and needs so he can help you decide if a combination breast augmentation and lift is right for you.

What Are the Benefits of Breast Lift with Implants?

There are many benefits to a breast lift with implants, including:

  • Enhanced breast volume
  • Lifted, perkier breasts
  • The ability to provide optimal results in one treatment
  • Removal of excess skin from the breasts
  • Nipple repositioning for natural results
  • Customized procedure options created specifically for you

Is a Breast Lift with Implants Right For You?

There are several reasons why you may be looking into a breast lift with implants. It’s an ideal choice if you want to significantly rejuvenate your breasts, especially if you have developed breast ptosis (sagging) caused by aging, pregnancy, or significant weight loss. It can also enhance the volume of your bust for a more natural appearance. Dr. Dauwe will be able to determine if a lift alone will get your desired outcome, or if both a lift and implants are better to attain your goals.

What Does the Breast Lift with Implants Procedure Involve?

This combination breast surgery is commonly done at an accredited surgical facility as an outpatient procedure where you will be sedated with general anesthesia. In most cases the breast implant is placed first, then the nipple is repositioned, and the excess skin is removed. Dr. Dauwe will explain the options available for breast implants before your surgery, so you will get a good idea of your post-operative result. In some patients, this operation can correct asymmetries in the breast or nipple-areola complex.

What Does the Breast Lift with Implants Procedure Involve?

The recovery timeframe for a breast lift with implants will be different for every patient; however, you should be able to get back to light activities in about 7 days. You will need to refrain from exercise and strenuous activities for at least 3-6 weeks. There will also be mild to moderate swelling after your surgery that may last for 2-3 weeks. Your implants should settle into their final position after several months where at that time, you should be able to see your long-term results.

How Will Scarring from My Breast Lift with Implants Look?

Dr. Dauwe will do his best to make incisions in areas that are difficult to see like in the breast folds or on the areola border. With proper care, in time, the incisions should fade and blend in more with your normal skin. Dr. Dauwe can enroll you in the laser scar management protocol to blend your scars. Additionally, Dr. Dauwe or someone on his staff will discuss scar care instructions you need to follow after your procedure.

How Long Will My Breast Lift with Implants Last?

If you don’t have dramatic weight changes or get pregnant, your results from a breast lift with implants should last many years. Although both silicone and saline implants are long-lasting, they should be assessed regularly to check their condition. In the surgery, Dr. Dauwe sets your implants with a technique that reduces breast sagging. This will help your results last for a long time. It’s important to know that while cosmetic breast surgery provides beautiful outcomes, it does not stop the natural aging process. In time, you might begin to notice sagging and loose skin again, but this can be addressed with another procedure.

How Much Does a Breast Lift with Implants Cost?

Your costs for a breast lift with implants will vary depending on multiple factors, like whether you want implants (saline or silicone) or a fat transfer. Also, the complexity of the lift will help determine your costs. In your initial consultation, Dr. Dauwe will develop a personalized surgical plan and then estimate your costs. Dauwe Plastic Surgery takes many payment methods, and we can help you find low-interest financing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Lift with Implants

  • Will a breast lift with implants correct sagging?

    A good reason to get breast surgery that combines augmentation with a lift is that it increases the size of your chest while also addressing sag by removing loose skin. The breast lift can also adjust your natural breast tissue so the results are perky and firm. This is crucial since augmenting breasts with mild sagging may cause a less than ideal outcome if a breast lift isn't done to address the loose skin.

    To address sagging, a breast lift should be completed and then a fat transfer or implants can be added. In your initial consultation with Dr. Dauwe, he will take his time to understand your goals before examining the condition of your chest. Following this, he can offer his suggestion on whether you need a lift, implants, or a combination of both.

  • Which incision is best for my breast lift with implants surgery?

    Incision patterns for breast surgery have become more advanced with techniques being developed to help minimize the visibility of scars. The surgical incision that is best for you will be chosen based on the type of implants and severity of breast sagging. To correct moderate to severe breast sagging, an anchor-shaped incision pattern is most effective. When forming your surgical plan, Dr. Dauwe will go over incision options that fit your needs. No matter what pattern is selected, Dr. Dauwe will make incisions carefully to minimize the appearance of scars.

  • Will my nipples be repositioned during a breast lift with implants?

    Yes, in most cases the nipples are repositioned during a breast lift with implants to achieve the most natural-looking result. When the breasts are lifted and implants are added, the nipple-areola complex may need to be moved to a higher, more youthful location on the chest. Dr. Dauwe carefully plans the new nipple position during surgery to maintain proper proportion and symmetry. In some cases, this part of the procedure can also help correct existing nipple asymmetry.

  • Can I breastfeed after my breast lift with implants?

    Breastfeeding after a breast lift with implants is possible for many women, but not guaranteed. During surgery, Dr. Dauwe takes care to preserve the milk ducts and glandular tissue when possible. However, some techniques — especially those involving more extensive lifting or repositioning — can affect the ability to breastfeed. If future breastfeeding is important to you, discuss this during your consultation so Dr. Dauwe can tailor your surgical plan.
