Teach Me: Augmentation Mastopexy:
Lift + Volume
Today's "Teach Me" lesson: augmentation mastopexy—the procedure that combines a breast lift with added volume for comprehensive rejuvenation.
What Is Augmentation Mastopexy?
This procedure combines two popular surgeries:
Augmentation - Adds volume with an implant
Mastopexy - Lifts and reshapes the breast to a better position
Together, they restore fullness and lift for naturally beautiful results.
Safety First: The 4-Centimeter Rule
When combining these procedures, safety is paramount. Here's what you need to know:
If your nipple needs to be lifted more than 4 centimeters, we'll discuss staging your procedures—doing them separately rather than simultaneously. While this means two surgeries, it significantly improves safety and results.
For lifts under 4 centimeters, combining procedures can give you beautiful results in one surgery.
Who Needs This Procedure?
The typical patient seeking augmentation mastopexy has deflated breasts and wants:
✓ Fullness in the upper breast
✓ Volume toward the cleavage line
✓ Better breast position on the chest
✓ A more youthful appearance
Common Causes of Breast Deflation
- Time and gravity - Natural aging process
- Breastfeeding - Post-pregnancy changes
- Weight fluctuations - Stretched skin and tissue
What You Can Expect
Results Include:
- Restored upper breast fullness
- Enhanced cleavage
- Elevated breast position
- Improved overall shape
- Natural, proportionate results
Is This Right for You?
Augmentation mastopexy may be perfect if you have deflated breasts and want both lift and volume restored in the upper breast and cleavage area.
Whether your breasts have changed over time through breastfeeding and gravity, or you've always wanted a fuller bust, this procedure can help you achieve your goals.
