Combining Breast Lift and Implant Augmentation: What You Need to Know Before Surgery

Considering a Change to Breast Shape and Size?

Many women notice changes in their breasts over time due to pregnancy, aging, weight fluctuations, or genetics. This can lead to both sagging (ptosis) and a loss of volume. At Lorraine Golosow, MD in Fort Myers, we frequently meet with patients interested in a combined breast lift and augmentation. This approach allows you to achieve a natural, youthful shape in a single surgery—saving time and creating beautiful results.

Why Combine a Breast Lift with Implants?

A breast lift (mastopexy) repositions and reshapes the breast tissue for a perkier, more youthful appearance. Implants, on the other hand, restore or enhance lost volume. By performing these two procedures together, you can enjoy both improved shape and fullness. This one-step process means one surgery, one recovery, and transformative results that balance your figure and boost your confidence.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Combined Procedure?

You may be an ideal candidate for combining a breast lift with implants if you have both deflation and sagging—often common after pregnancy or significant weight loss. If your nipples point downward or sit below the natural breast crease, or if you hope to improve both breast shape and size, this solution may be right for you. During your private consultation, Dr. Golosow will review your health history, discuss goals, and examine your unique anatomy to create the best surgical plan for you.

What to Expect During the Procedure

This combined surgery is highly personalized. Dr. Golosow will lift and reshape your natural breast tissue and may adjust or resize the nipples for ideal symmetry. Then, saline or silicone implants are placed according to your preferences and body type. Every step is performed with an artistic eye and meticulous attention to minimize visible scarring and ensure your results look natural and beautiful for your frame.

Your Recovery and Final Results

Most women can return to light activities within about a week after surgery. While some swelling and mild discomfort are normal, these subside as you heal. Because both the lift and augmentation are completed together, you’ll have just one recovery period and can appreciate your results sooner. Over the following weeks, your breasts will settle into their rejuvenated, youthful shape.
