Breast augmentation and breast lift surgeries are two popular cosmetic procedures that can enhance the appearance of the breasts. Many patients wonder if it’s possible to combine these procedures for an optimal result, and the answer is yes.
Dr. Dean Kleto, a board-certified plastic surgeon by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, is skilled in combining breast augmentation and lifts to help patients achieve a youthful breast contour. As a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and the Southeastern Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, Dr. Kleto offers expert guidance to help you achieve your desired look.
The Purpose of Breast Augmentation vs. Breast Lift
Breast augmentation focuses on increasing the size of the breasts using implants. These breast implants consist of saline or silicone. It’s ideal for women who want to enhance their breast volume, whether due to genetics, pregnancy, or weight loss. Implants add fullness, improve symmetry, and can help achieve a more balanced figure.
On the other hand, a breast lift is a procedure that can raise and reshape sagging breasts. Over time, factors like aging, gravity, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations can cause the breasts to droop. A breast lift tightens the surrounding tissue and removes excess skin to give the breasts a more lifted appearance.
Why Combine Both Procedures?
When performed together, a breast augmentation with a lift can enhance the shape and size of your breasts in one surgery.Â
After pregnancy or significant weight loss, many women experience both volume loss and sagging. Combining augmentation with a lift addresses both concerns by restoring fullness and correcting sagging.
While implants add volume, they don’t address sagging. On the other hand, a breast lift alone doesn’t provide significant volume. Combining both allows you to achieve fuller, lifted breasts that look more youthful and natural.
Lastly, it is a one-surgery, one-recovery approach. Since both procedures can be done simultaneously, you’ll only need to undergo surgery and one recovery period. Hence, the process is more convenient and reduces downtime.
