Breast Lift with Augmentation

Lake Norman Plastic Surgery

Introduction

Introduction to Breast Lift with Augmentation

For many women, enhancing the breasts is about more than just size or lift alone; it’s about achieving the perfect combination of fullness, firmness, and youthful contour. Life events like pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, and aging can cause breasts to lose both volume and position, leaving women feeling less confident in their shape. At Lake Norman Plastic Surgery, Dr. Henry Wilson offers breast lift with augmentation, a comprehensive procedure that restores perkiness and fullness in one surgery. With a personalized approach, Dr. Wilson helps women achieve natural, proportionate results that last for decades to come.

What is a Breast Lift with Augmentation?

A breast lift with augmentation, also called augmentation mastopexy, combines two procedures into one: lifting sagging breasts into a higher position while adding volume through implants or fat grafting. The lift addresses excess skin and nipple position, while augmentation restores or enhances fullness. This dual approach is especially beneficial for women who have experienced volume loss and sagging simultaneously, such as after pregnancy or major weight changes.

Implants are the most common way to add volume during a breast lift with augmentation. Patients can choose between silicone or saline implants, with options for size, shape, and placement customized to their anatomy. Implants allow for a significant increase in fullness and projection, while the lift ensures they sit naturally and proportionately. This combination delivers a balanced, youthful look that feels both attractive and natural.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Breast Lift with Augmentation?

The best candidates for this procedure in the Lake Norman area are healthy, non-smoking women who are dissatisfied with both sagging and volume loss. If your breasts look deflated, nipples point downward, or you’ve noticed a loss of upper fullness, this procedure may be ideal. Women who want both lift and volume in one surgery often opt for this option over having the procedures performed separately. Candidates should also have realistic expectations and understand both the benefits and the recovery process.

What Are the Benefits of a Breast Lift with Augmentation?

A breast lift with augmentation offers comprehensive improvements that neither procedure can achieve alone. Benefits include:

  • Restoring youthful breast position and perkiness
  • Enhancing fullness and cleavage for a balanced silhouette
  • Improving breast symmetry and contour
  • Correcting volume loss after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging
  • Achieving natural-looking results tailored to your frame and goals
  • Boosting self-confidence in and out of clothing

By combining procedures, patients can achieve more dramatic results with just one surgery and a single recovery period.

Breast Lift with Augmentation Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Breast Lift with Augmentation Care

Recovery takes a few weeks, with most patients returning to light activities within 10 to 14 days. Some swelling, bruising, and soreness are common, but these side effects improve steadily in the first week. A supportive surgical bra is worn to protect your results and aid healing. While you’ll notice immediate improvement in breast shape, final results take several months as swelling subsides and implants settle. Exercise and strenuous activity should be avoided for four to six weeks. As part of your surgical care, patients receive a customized scar care regimen, which includes the products they will use. Follow-up appointments with Dr. Wilson will ensure your recovery stays on track.
