What Is a Breast Lift With Implants?

A breast lift with implants, known medically as augmentation mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgery that combines a breast lift (mastopexy) and augmentation. The lift repositions and reshapes the breasts to correct sagging, while the implants add volume and enhance the overall breast contour. This dual approach is especially beneficial for women experiencing both loss of firmness and decreased breast size due to factors like aging, pregnancy, or significant weight changes.

Implant Options for a Breast Lift With Implants

Choosing the Right Implants

There are three primary types of implants to consider for this procedure:
Silicone Gel Implants
Known for their natural feel and appearance, silicone implants are popular for those seeking a soft, supple result.
Silicone Gel Implants
Filled with sterile salt water, saline implants are adjustable in size and can offer a slightly firmer feel.
Silicone Gel Implants
A newer variation of silicone implants made from better material that minimizes risks and provides an excellent shape.
Your choice will depend on your desired look, body type, and personal preference, all of which will be discussed during your consultation. Selecting the right implant size is a collaborative process. Dr. Sanchez-Navarro will consider your body frame, existing breast tissue, skin elasticity, and your aesthetic goals. Sizers and digital imaging may help you visualize potential outcomes and ensure your new breast size is harmonious with your proportions. Achieving a natural look is a top priority. By combining the lift with carefully chosen implants, the breasts can appear fuller and perkier without looking overdone. The surgical technique and implant placement are tailored to your anatomy for optimal results.

Breast Lift With Implants: The Procedure Explained

Anesthesia
Dr. Sanchez-Navarro performs breast lifts with implant procedures under general anesthesia at our fully accredited surgical facility. Your safety and comfort are paramount, with a board-certified anesthesiologist overseeing your anesthesia throughout the surgery.
Incisions for a breast lift with implants are made according to your needs and degree of breast ptosis (sagging). Common patterns include:
  • Periareolar: Around the nipple area
  • Vertical (“Lollipop”): Around the nipple and extending downward
  • Anchor: Includes a horizontal incision along the breast fold
The incision choice ensures minimal visible scarring while allowing for optimal lift and implant placement.

During the procedure, Dr. Sanchez-Navarro removes excess skin, reshapes breast tissue, and inserts the chosen implants above or under the muscles of the chest wall. The nipples may also be repositioned for symmetry and a natural look. The result is a lifted, fuller breast contour tailored to your preferences.
After breast implant placement and tissue reshaping, Dr. Sanchez-Navarro carefully closes the incisions with layered sutures to support healing and minimize scarring. A surgical bra is applied to provide gentle compression and support. You’ll then be taken to a recovery area, where our team monitors you as you wake from anesthesia before you’re cleared to return home the same day.

Recovery and Results

Expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the first week, which is managed with medication and supportive garments. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided to support your healing.

Tips for comfortable sleep
during recovery:
  • Sleep on your back with your upper body elevated using pillows
  • Avoid sleeping on your stomach or sides to protect your incisions and implants
  • Wear your surgical bra as directed for support
What to avoid after a breast
lift procedure with implants:
  • Lifting heavy objects or engaging in vigorous exercise
  • Sleeping on your stomach or side until cleared by your surgeon
  • Smoking or using nicotine products, as these can hinder healing

Most patients return to work and daily activities within 1–2 weeks, depending on the nature of their job and individual healing. Complete recovery, including return to high-impact exercise, can take 4–6 weeks. Your timeline may vary, and Dr. Sanchez-Navarro will provide personalized guidance at each follow-up visit.

Breast Lift With Implants vs. Lift or Augmentation

How Long Do Breast Lift
With Implants Results Last?

Benefits of Combining a Breast Lift With Implants

  • Enhanced Shape and Fullness: Restores lost volume while correcting sagging for a firmer and rounder breast contour.
  • Customizable Results: Tailored to each patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals.

  • Advanced Breast Lift Techniques: We offer the latest techniques and use innovative technology to achieve excellent results and increase safety.

Procedures That Can Be Added to a Breast Lift With Implants

Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Enhancement Surgery?

You may be a good candidate if you desire to:
  • Restore fullness lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes
  • Address sagging, drooping, or deflation of the breasts
  • Achieve a more lifted, youthful breast contour and increased size
  • Combine breast enhancement with nipple correction (if nipples point downward or are below the breast crease)

If your breasts have lost both shape and volume, or if you have always wanted a fuller, higher bustline, a breast lift with implants may be right for you.

Ideal candidates are in good overall health, do not smoke, and have realistic
expectations. During your personalized consultation with Dr. Sanchez-Navarro, MD, your goals, anatomy, and lifestyle will be carefully evaluated to determine the surgical plan. If you are considering future pregnancies or breastfeeding, discuss this with Dr. Sanchez-Navarro for tailored recommendations.
