Breast Augmentation with a Breast Lift Introduction

Breast Augmentation with a Breast Lift, or augmentation mastopexy, is a combined procedure that puts together two of the most sought-after plastic surgery procedures for women. Many women desire both an increase in the size of the breast and a breast lift, which can be done in 1 surgery. Board-certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Bianca Molina offers breast augmentation with a breast lift to her New York patients, helping them achieve both the ideal breast size and shape.

What is a Breast Augmentation with a Breast Lift?

Augmentation mastopexy, or breast augmentation with a breast lift, is a surgical procedure where a breast implant is placed, and then the breast is lifted overtop the implant to appropriately reposition the nipple and give a larger and perkier breast appearance. Many women have both breast deflation or volume loss and sagging, which can be due to pregnancy or breastfeeding, weight loss, or age-related. For these women, an augmentation to replace or enhance breast volume or size, in addition to a breast lift, will give the best cosmetic result.

Breast Augmentation + Breast Lift First Step

What’s the first step?

For patients interested in breast augmentation + breast lift surgery in Manhattan, the first step is to schedule an initial consultation with award-winning female plastic surgeon Dr. Bianca Molina. She will discuss your medical history, past surgeries, goals, and desires, as well as the various techniques that could be used for breast augmentation with a breast lift.

When determining the ideal approach, Dr. Molina will consider your frame, breast shape, body proportions, and surgery goals. The goal of a breast augmentation and breast lift is to create an aesthetically pleasing breast size and shape. 

Dr. Molina will create a surgical plan, and our concierge team will then provide you with detailed pricing and help you schedule your surgery.

What to Expect On the Day Surgery: Breast Augmentation with a Breast Lift (Augmentation Mastopexy)

Dr. Molina performs all surgery at an accredited ambulatory surgery center. Augmentation mastopexy is done under general anesthesia. Dr. Molina sees all patients prior to surgery, confirms the operative plan, and ensures they have no last-minute questions. 

Augmentation mastopexy surgery typically takes 2-3 hours but can vary depending on which technique is being used.

The breast implant is placed first, either submuscular (under the pec muscle) or above the muscle during surgery. After this is done on both sides, the breast tissue and skin are repositioned and elevated over the implant. In this way, the nipple is repositioned to the most projecting point of the breast and in an anatomically correct position

There are different ways to perform a breast lift, and the technique used is very patient-specific. Each approach to breast lift surgery is associated with a different scar pattern. Dr. Molina will explain and advise on which type of lift and scar pattern is required for your specific case.

Anchor lift: Dr. Molina will place an incision that runs around the areola, go vertically down the lower breast tissue, and horizontally across the lower breast crease. This is typically used when more intensive lifting is required.

Donut breast lift: Also called a peri-areolar lift, this procedure involves making a circular incision around the areola. It is often used to reduce the size of the areola. This technique is best for women with mild sagging or who need the areola or colored part of the nipple resized.

Lollipop lift: During a lollipop lift, Dr. Molina makes the incision around the areola and vertically along the lower part of the breast below the nipple. It corrects moderate sagging and is a good option for women needing a moderate lift.

Recovery After Breast Augmentation with a Breast Lift

Augmentation mastopexy is an outpatient surgical procedure. You will be observed in the recovery room after your surgery until you are approved to go home by Dr. Molina and the anesthesia team. You will need someone to take you home after surgery. You will be given prescription pain medications and a post-operative recovery plan.

You will be able to gradually return to work and daily activities about one week after your breast augmentation and breast lift. Exercise is gradually reintroduced up until about three months after the procedure, at which point maximal activity is allowed. 

Dr. Molina will see you regularly in her office to ensure everything is healing appropriately.
