what is breast augmentation with Lift?
Some women not only experience sagging breasts, but also breasts with too little volume and undesirable size. However, all of these problems can be solved with mastopexy augmentation surgery. It lifts the breasts into a higher position on the chest wall, and adds volume through the placement of breast implants. After Inland Empire board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Ben Childers, performs this surgery, the patient is left with fuller, perkier, more sensual breasts. Not only are the breasts improved, but the woman’s entire figure looks better thanks to this surgery. This is a great surgery to improve the breasts of women who have gone through pregnancy and who breastfed.
How Is Breast Augmentation With Lift Performed?
During a breast lift with augmentation, the procedure typically begins with Dr. Childers reshaping the breasts by removing excess skin and lifting the underlying muscle and tissue to a higher position. The nipple is usually repositioned, and for excessively large breasts, the areola may be surgically reduced by removing the outer circle and adjusting the surrounding skin. Depending on the specific case, varying incision patterns may be used, including around the areola, a vertical incision down to the natural fold below the breast, or a combination of full circumareolar, vertical, and horizontal incisions (known as an anchor or inverted "T").
If an implant is being added during the same procedure, it is typically placed beneath the pectoralis muscle to provide additional support and ensure a longer-lasting result, functioning like an internal bra. Some patients may opt to separate the lift and augmentation into two surgeries if they are uncertain about the desired breast size or appearance after the lift. When performed as a combined procedure, a breast lift with augmentation enhances the shape, position, and volume of the breasts for a more youthful and lifted appearance.

Breast Augmentation with Lift Reviews
I couldn’t recommend Dr.Childers enough. I had a breast lift and implants in 2017 everything went great and I was super happy with the results. I had a reaction the the sutures after surgery and Dr.Childers was super helpful. I just has a "tummy tuck" with no muscle tightening as my abdominal muscles were back together. I had some lower abdominal loose skin after two kids so it wasn’t your average tummy tuck, I didn’t have enough skin to pull down and move the belly button so he was able to do it without moving it and I LOVE the results. Dr. Childers did an amazing job and was super helpful before and after surgery. I would say he gives an honest opinion which is nice when you’re thinking about getting cosmetic surgery.

what to expect aftere breast augmentation with Lift surgery
Breast augmentation with a lift is performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. Because this is a combination surgery, the recovery time can last a bit longer than a lift or augmentation alone. Most patients are able to return to work within a few short days, but exercise and aerobic activities should be eliminated for at least 2-4 weeks. It will take a few months for the breasts to settle fully into their new position and assume a soft, natural look. Women who have lived with sagging, deflated breasts are thrilled with their new breast appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Implants Help Sagging?
Breast augmentation surgery will help with size, but will not lift a sagging breast. If there is moderate to severe sagging, women should be leery of any surgeon who recommends implants alone. Patients who are happy with the size of their breasts, but want to correct the sagging, will usually benefit with a breast lift procedure (without the placement of implants).
Which Incision is Best?
During your consultation, the incision placement will be discussed after your breasts have been thoroughly assessed. Women with smaller breasts will usually benefit from an incision that circles the areola only. Larger breasts, or those that have severe sagging, may need the anchor-shaped incision in order to garner the best results.
Long-Lasting Results?
Breast lifts are designed to last a very long time. As long as you do not experience a huge weight gain or become pregnant, the results can last for years. The implants are surgically placed in a way that protects the breasts from sagging. Age and gravity are unavoidable elements that will create some natural sagging throughout the years.
What About Scarring?
Unlike breast augmentation alone where the incisions can be carefully hidden, it is hard to conceal the incisions that are made during the lift procedure. The number of scars and their location will depend on the surgeon’s incision strategy. Every effort is made during surgery to minimize scarring. With proper scar care and an avoidance of sun exposure, the scars will fade and become thinner over time. Most women feel that the physical results following this surgery far outweigh the scarring left behind.
