Breast Augmentation + Lift Overview

What is a Breast Augmentation with a Lift?

Breast augmentation with a lift, often referred to as "mastopexy augmentation", is a cosmetic surgery that combines two procedures: breast augmentation to increase breast size using implants and a breast lift to lift and reshape sagging breasts. This breast augmentation with a lift in NYC is ideal for women who want both increased volume and improved breast shape and position. It's performed in a single surgery to achieve a fuller and more youthful breast appearance.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation with a Lift?

Breast augmentation with lift is an excellent option for women who want to enhance their breasts in both size and position—all in a single, comprehensive procedure. You may be a strong candidate if you:

  • Desire fuller, rounder breasts with added volume through implants
  • Have sagging or drooping breasts and want to restore a youthful, lifted shape
  • Notice loss of firmness or shape due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes
  • Have nipples that point downward or fall below the breast crease
  • Want to avoid multiple surgeries and recoveries by combining augmentation and lift into one procedure
  • Are in good general health, at a stable weight, and do not smoke
  • Have realistic expectations and a desire to improve breast appearance for personal confidence and comfort.
    During your private consultation, Dr. Hyman will evaluate your anatomy, medical history, and goals to ensure this approach is safe and customized for your best outcome.

What can I Expect from a Breast Augmentation with Lift?

The first step in your procedure will be a private consultation with Dr. Hyman, who will speak with you at length about what can be done to restore a youthful, lifted, and augmented look to your breasts. You will receive Dr. Hyman’s undivided attention without being rushed or pressured. The size, projection, and volume of the implants will be discussed and planned in great detail. Dr. Hyman offers detailed sizing at your initial consultation so you can see which breast implant will help you achieve your goals.

Our Advanced Surgical Techniques

Dr. Hyman performs breast augmentation with lift without placing drains, which is one of the most uncomfortable aspects of traditional breast surgery. His precision approach will reshape your breast tissue and remove excess skin so that your breasts sit at a higher, natural-looking position on your chest, now lovely, rounded, pert, and youthful.

Incision Patterns 

A breast augmentation with lift in NYC requires incisions, with several options for placement. Your unique condition will determine which incision pattern is appropriate in your case.

Periareolar incision

In this procedure, the incision is made around the circumference of the areola, the darker skin around the nipple. This incision pattern is typically for women with minor sagging who do not desire larger implants.

Vertical incision

This incision pattern stretches around the areola and runs vertically down to the lower center of each breast. The incision scars are placed to be invisible, even in bikini tops or plunging bras.

Anchor incision

For women who have more significant breast sagging, an incision encircling the areola, stretching vertically down to the center of the lower portion of each breast and then horizontally along the breast crease, may be the best option.

What is the Recovery from Breast Augmentation with Lift?

Your procedure will be performed in our private surgery suite located on our office premises. Once completed, you are free to return home to rest and recover, or we can arrange private nursing care for you. You will have prescription medication for the early stages of your recovery and will need to sleep on your back to avoid putting pressure on your restored breasts.

The Timeline to Recovery

You can expect some swelling and bruising and will need to wear a compression bra to keep your newly enhanced, lifted breasts secure during healing. You will wear a sports bra for about four weeks. A lifted, round breast appearance will be visible at once, and as your breasts settle, they will become more and more attractive. Avoid lifting anything heavy, raising your arms above your shoulders, or any vigorous physical activities until Dr. Hyman allows you to return to your exercise program. You can typically resume your full range of sports and exercise within four weeks. Most patients return to light exercise within two weeks of the procedure.

An Extraordinary Level of Follow-up

We will follow up with you to ensure your recovery is uneventful and will see you several times after your surgery. Our entire team is always available by phone or text. In many cases, Dr. Hyman may perform custom scar treatments to further enhance your lovely new breasts if indicated. You will be thrilled with how you look within seven to ten days.

Getting Started with Your Breast Augmentation with Lift

If you already have implants, you may have experienced sagging due to the weight of these devices. Some surgeons fail to inform their patients of this risk, leaving them disappointed. If you are in this situation, we invite you to meet with Dr. Hyman to discuss what can be done to create the look you envision. You will be under the care of one of the most accomplished cosmetic surgeons in the NYC area. Call today to schedule your complimentary consultation.

Breast Augmentation With Lift Q&A

Can I combine breast augmentation with a lift and another procedure at the same time?

How should I prepare for breast augmentation with a lift?

Will I lose nipple sensation after the surgery?

How noticeable will my scars be after surgery?

Will this procedure affect my ability to breastfeed in the future?

How do I choose the right implant size and shape?

Can I combine breast augmentation with a lift and another procedure at the same time?

Yes, absolutely. Many of my patients choose to combine a breast augmentation with lift with other procedures, like a tummy tuck or liposuction, especially in a “mommy makeover” setting. As long as you're in good health, combining procedures can be a safe and efficient way to achieve multiple goals with just one recovery period. During your consultation, I’ll evaluate your anatomy and surgical goals to make sure it’s a good fit for you.

How should I prepare for breast augmentation with a lift?

I’ll guide you through every step of your preparation. Typically, you’ll need to stop smoking well in advance, avoid certain medications or supplements that can increase bleeding, and get any necessary lab work done. We’ll also discuss what to expect in the days leading up to surgery, and I’ll make sure you have clear, detailed instructions for a smooth and safe experience.

Will I lose nipple sensation after the surgery?

Some temporary changes in nipple or breast sensation are common after this procedure, but most of my patients find that sensation returns as healing progresses. I take great care to preserve the nerves, and I’ll always tailor the technique to your anatomy to reduce that risk. We’ll talk about this in depth so you know exactly what to expect.

How noticeable will my scars be after surgery?

Scars are a natural part of any surgery, but I place them very strategically to make them as discreet as possible, even in a swimsuit or low-cut top. Over time, most scars fade considerably. I also offer scar management options if needed after healing. My goal is always to deliver beautiful results with the most subtle scarring possible.

Will this procedure affect my ability to breastfeed in the future?

In most cases, women are still able to breastfeed after a breast augmentation with lift. I use techniques that protect the milk ducts and preserve function, especially when breastfeeding is something you may want in the future. I’ll take your individual goals and lifestyle into account to help guide the best approach.

How do I choose the right implant size and shape?

This is one of the most important parts of your consultation, and I spend a lot of time discussing your options. We’ll talk about your lifestyle, your frame, and your desired look, and then I’ll show you sample sizes and use detailed sizing tools to help you visualize the result. I’m here to guide you toward a choice that complements your body beautifully and looks completely natural.
