What is breast Augmentation + Lift?
When women get older, their breast volume can decrease while others may develop loose skin on their chest. Some women will experience both changes with deflated, sagging breasts. If you want to restore breast volume while also removing excess skin, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Julio Sosa could recommend breast augmentation with a lift (mastopexy). This effective combination of breast surgeries, regularly performed by our team at Bloomfield Plastic Surgery in West Bloomfield, MI, starts by excising loose chest skin and then inserting saline or silicone implants to achieve your desired outcome. Breast surgery with an augmentation and lift corrects several issues, including position, shape, and size to give you perkier, more youthful-looking breasts. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Sosa to talk about your specific goals and needs. He will help you determine if a combination breast augmentation and lift is best for your needs.

Who is a Candidate for BREAST AUGMENTATION + LIFT?
There are many factors that may have you wanting breast surgery combining augmentation and a lift. It is a good option if you would like to dramatically transform your breasts while also improving your skin elasticity. You may have breast sagging due to aging, pregnancy, or significant weight loss, thus you want to increase the fullness of your breasts — this is all addressed with a lift and augmentation. Dr. Sosa can usually assess whether a breast lift by itself can achieve your best results, or if both procedures are needed to reach your overall desired look.
What to expect during BREAST AUGMENTATION + LIFT
Breast augmentation with a lift is generally performed as an outpatient procedure where general anesthesia will be administered. Typically, the breast lift is performed first. Any loose skin is cut away, and the surrounding tissue is tightened. Dr. Sosa will discuss breast implant options with you before the surgery so the selected implant can be easily placed. In some cases, the areola and/or nipple will need to be repositioned to better match your new breast size and shape.
How long is recovery after BREAST AUGMENTATION + LIFT?
The time needed for recovery from breast surgery will vary in each patient, but you should be strong enough to resume your day-to-day activities within about a week. But you do need to avoid any exercise or strenuous activity for about 2 – 6 weeks. There may also be moderate swelling following the procedure that can last for three weeks. Your breasts will begin to settle into their new position in a few months where then you should be able to enjoy your beautiful results.
