Breast augmentation with lift is a combined procedure designed to address both volume loss and sagging. While implants add fullness, they do not lift the breasts. When sagging is present, combining procedures creates more balanced and youthful results. Plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey provides breast augmentation with lift to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding locations.
Why Augmentation Alone Is Not Always Enough
Breast implants increase size but do not reposition the nipple or tighten loose skin. In patients with sagging breasts, implants alone can exaggerate drooping rather than correct it.
Signs You May Need a Lift With Augmentation
You may benefit from a combined procedure if:
- Nipples sit below the breast crease
• Nipples point downward
• Breasts appear deflated and sagging
• Skin has lost elasticity after pregnancy or weight loss
A lift restores proper breast position while implants restore volume.
How the Combined Procedure Works
During surgery, excess skin is removed, the breast is reshaped, and the nipple is repositioned to a more youthful height. Implants are then placed to achieve desired volume and contour.
The procedure is customized to anatomy and goals.
Recovery and Results
Recovery is slightly longer than augmentation alone but follows a similar timeline. Swelling and soreness improve gradually, with final results becoming more apparent over several months.
Breast augmentation with lift offers dramatic, long-lasting improvement in both shape and size.
