WHAT IS A BREAST AUGMENTATION WITH MASTOPEXY (LIFT)?
Breast augmentations and breast lifts are two of the most commonly performed breast surgery procedures today; however, each procedure offers very distinct results. Breast augmentation surgery utilizes silicone or saline implants to increase the size and volume of the breasts, while a breast lift procedure (mastopexy) corrects the condition of breast ptosis (sagging), by lifting and raising the breasts to a more aesthetically desirable position. Breast lifts can also address and treat the issues of stretched skin, enlarged areolas, downward pointing nipples, and asymmetrical breasts. Breast lift procedures do not, however, impact the size or fullness of the breasts, nor can they replace depleted breast volume after breast feeding or weight loss.

Fortunately, for patients with the surgical goals of both lifting AND increasing the size of their breasts, the benefits of the two procedures can be combined with a single surgery, known as an breast augmentation with mastopexy (breast augmentation with a breast lift). Benefits of having a breast lift performed in conjunction with a breast augmentation include: decreased potential for surgical complications, the ease and safety of a single dose of anesthesia, cost effectiveness, a single post-operative recovery period, and final results after only one surgery, as opposed to sequential surgeries.
Although the breast augmentation with lift procedure has been declared both “safe and effective” by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the dual nature of the surgery necessitates an extensive knowledge of both procedures, and a high level of breast surgery experience.
