A Comprehensive Approach

Breast augmentation with lift (mastopexy-augmentation) combines two procedures: enhancing size and fullness through breast implants, and lifting sagging breast tissue to restore a more youthful breast position. While many procedures focus on just volume or just lift, this combination addresses both—making it ideal if you’ve experienced volume loss (like after pregnancy, nursing, or weight change) and sagging or loose skin.

Your Consultation 

Your procedure will begin with detailed planning to optimize your results. During these appointments, Dr. Gupta will use drawings and models to help you envision your new shape and projection.

This is a crucial step in selecting your implant size and shape. From there, he will suggest a breast lift technique based on how much skin you need removed and how much sagging you need corrected.

The Breast Augmentation With Lift Procedure in San Diego & Encinitas

Dr. Gupta will perform your breast augmentation with lift under general anesthesia in a fully accredited facility. To begin, he’ll create the planned incisions, following your bespoke surgical plan to minimize visible scarring. Through those openings, he’ll reposition your breast tissue, remove excess skin, and elevate your nipple and areola to a more youthful position. Once he’s reshaped the framework of your breasts, he’ll place the implants either beneath or above the chest muscle, depending on your anatomy and the look you want to achieve.

This dual approach allows him to restore lost volume while tightening the surrounding skin, creating a lifted and balanced contour that feels soft and natural. Once the implants are placed, Dr. Gupta will ensure that they are symmetrical and aligned. He will then close the incisions with layered sutures to ensure optimal healing. The result will be a rejuvenated breast shape that is full, elevated, and in beautiful harmony with your body. Before completing the procedure, Dr. Gupta will ensure that your breasts are symmetrical and aligned. He will then meticulously close the incisions with layered sutures for optimal healing.

Recovery and Results

You should be able to return to work and light activities within about one week. During the initial healing process, you can expect bruising and swelling. To support your chest and aid with recovery, you may need to wear a surgical bra for several weeks. As your body heals over the next few months, your final results will emerge with full, youthful, and perky breasts.

Breast Augmentation With Lift Frequently Asked Questions

How are the incisions different when a breast lift is combined with implants?

Combining a lift with implants may require a slightly larger incision depending on the technique used. However, with all procedures, Dr. Gupta strategically places incisions in less visible areas.

Can I breastfeed after augmentation with a lift?

There are ways to perform the procedure to preserve your ability to breastfeed. Ultimately, your ability to breastfeed after an augmentation with lift depends on your incision type, implant placement, and individual anatomy.

What are the benefits of combining these two procedures?

Many women choose to combine the two surgeries to shorten their total recovery time and avoid multiple procedures.

Will combining a lift with implants make recovery longer?

Not necessarily. The recovery for a combined procedure is usually similar to a lift alone. Because both surgeries are performed simultaneously, you heal during a single recovery period. Most patients find this approach to be more convenient and easier emotionally, as it reduces total downtime.
