Your breasts can change over time due to pregnancy, weight fluctuations, aging, or genetics, leading to sagging and loss of volume. If you seek both a fuller breast shape and a more youthful position, breast augmentation with breast lift (mastopexy-augmentation) is an effective solution.
Dr. Gregory Wiener, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Chicago, specializes in advanced breast enhancement procedures designed to restore confidence. With years of experience and a commitment to surgical precision, Dr. Wiener tailors each procedure to the patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Why Choose Breast Augmentation with a Lift?
A breast augmentation with lift offers several benefits, including:
- Restoring lost breast volume for a fuller, more youthful look
- Lifting sagging breasts to a higher, more natural position
- Improving breast symmetry and overall contour
- Enhancing cleavage and firmness with the addition of implants
- Reshaping the nipple and areola, if necessary, for a proportionate appearance
Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation with Lift?
This procedure is ideal for women who:
- Experience breast sagging (ptosis) and volume loss
- Have nipples that point downward or sit below the breast crease
- Desire fuller, more youthful breasts with added projection
- Maintain a stable weight and are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations about the results
During a consultation, Dr. Wiener assesses your breast structure, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals to determine the best surgical approach.
Breast Lift with Implants Procedure Details
A breast augmentation with breast lift involves lifting and reshaping the breast tissue while enhancing volume with implants. The specific incision pattern depends on the degree of lift needed:
- Periareolar incision:Â A small incision around the areola, used for minor lifting
- Lollipop incision:Â Extends around the areola and down the lower half of the breast
- Anchor incision:Â Includes a horizontal incision along the breast crease for significant sagging
During surgery, Dr. Wiener removes excess skin, repositions the breast tissue and nipple, and inserts breast implants (saline, silicone, or gummy bear) to add volume and firmness. He uses medical-grade adhesives for incision closure, helping minimize scarring.
Breast Augmentation with Lift Recovery and Expected Results
After surgery, you should wear a soft support bra to aid with healing. Temporary swelling, bruising, and soreness are expected but subside in the days and weeks to follow. Discomfort can be managed with pain medication. Most patients feel well enough to return to work after a couple weeks, while strenuous activity and exercise should be avoided for four to six weeks.
As the swelling diminishes, your final results will become more visible, revealing firmer, lifted, and fuller breasts. With proper care, the results of a breast augmentation with lift can be long-lasting.
How Much Does Breast Augmentation with Lift Cost?
The cost of breast augmentation with lift varies based on individual factors, including implant type, surgical technique, and complexity of the procedure. During your consultation, our team will provide a personalized cost estimate and discuss financing options.
