A breast lift with implants, also known as augmentation mastopexy, is a combination procedure that addresses two common breast concerns simultaneously. This surgical procedure combines the benefits of a breast lift (mastopexy procedure), which raises and reshapes sagging breasts, with breast augmentation surgery using implants to increase breast volume and improve overall breast contour. Unlike a breast lift alone, which only repositions existing breast tissue to create a more youthful appearance, or breast augmentation alone, which only adds volume without correcting breast ptosis, a lift with implants provides a comprehensive solution for women experiencing both sagging and volume deficiency. During this breast lift procedure, Dr. Jean removes excess skin, reshapes the breast tissue, repositions the nipple and areola to a more youthful position, and inserts carefully selected breast implants to achieve the desired size and shape. The result is firmer, fuller, and more natural-looking results with improved projection and contour.
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation where Dr. Jean evaluates your breast anatomy, discusses your aesthetic goals, and helps you select the appropriate implant type (silicone implants or saline implants), size, and placement options. During this initial meeting, Dr. Jean will explain the different incision patterns that may be used, including periareolar, vertical, or anchor/inverted-T approaches, each selected based on your unique degree of sagging and desired outcome. Before your surgery date, you’ll complete any necessary pre-operative testing and receive detailed instructions to prepare for your procedure, including guidelines on medications, smoking cessation, and fasting requirements.
On the day of your surgery, we will administer general anesthesia to ensure your complete comfort throughout the procedure. Dr. Jean will then create the predetermined incision pattern, which may encircle the areola, extend vertically down to the breast crease, and possibly along the breast crease itself, depending on your specific needs. These carefully placed incisions will allow Dr. Jean to access the breast tissue while ensuring that resulting breast lift scars are as discreet as possible and typically well-concealed beneath a bra or swimsuit.
For women looking to restore their pre-pregnancy body, combining an implants breast lift with abdominal procedures creates what’s commonly known as a “Mommy Makeover.” This comprehensive approach typically includes a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to remove excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles that have stretched during pregnancy. By addressing both breast and abdominal changes in one surgical session, patients benefit from a single recovery period and more dramatic transformation.
