Breast Augmentation with Lift

A Breast Augmentation with a Lift enhances volume and position in one step by adding implants to achieve fullness and remove excess skin. This procedure is ideal for women who’ve experienced changes due to pregnancy, weight loss, aging, or breastfeeding, but it also addresses concerns like sagging, asymmetry, and loss of volume.

What Breast Augmentations with Lift types are out there?

Several factors should be considered when discussing a Breast Augmentation and Lift with your surgeon and Care Advisor. You need to think about the degree of sagging, your desired breast size, and what you want the final results to look like. All of this will determine the incision patterns and method your surgeon uses.

01.

Implants:

This approach gives your breasts a noticeable, reliable boost in volume, which is perfect for those confidently choosing a more dramatic transformation. Your surgeon will place the implant either beneath the pectoral muscle or just behind the breast tissue, depending on your anatomy and aesthetic preferences. Your surgeon will either make a periareolar incision (a semi-circular cut tracing the lower half of your areolas) or an inframammary incision that follows the curve underneath your breasts. 

02.

Fat transfer:

This approach offers a more naturally beautiful enhancement because it uses what you already have. A fat transfer is paired with the bonus of body contouring. Using your fat, gently harvested from other bodily areas, your surgeon increases breast volume and improves shape with precision. Because it’s your tissue, the risk of allergic reaction is minimized, making it a safer and personalized option.  

03.

Combination procedures:

This approach blends all the best benefits of implants and a fat transfer to create your ideal size and shape. Implants have the power to deliver a significant volume boost, while fat transfer adds a smooth, sculpted finish, highlighting your new contours and softening edges for a more natural look and feel.

What to expect before and after your Breast Augmentation with Lift journey.

Before the procedure

01

Get a mammogram, breast imaging, and a medical exam to qualify for the procedure.

02

Practice sleeping on your back to prepare for the recovery period requirements.

03

Hydrate your skin with moisturizer and wear sunscreen during sun exposure.

04

Adjust health habits like stopping medications that increase bleeding and quitting smoking.

05

Prepare for recovery by arranging transportation, a support person, and a cozy space.

The procedure day

01

Receive local or general anesthesia for complete comfort during your procedure.

02

Your surgeon makes incisions in strategic locations to minimize visible scarring.

03

Excess skin is removed, and breast tissue is reshaped.

04

Implants are inserted under the pectoral muscle or behind the breast tissue.

05

Incisions are closed with layered sutures in the breast tissue.

After the procedure

01

Wear your surgical bra to support your new breasts and the healing process.

02

Lie on your back until your surgeon gives you the “okay” to sleep on your sides.

03

Give yourself gentle massages to prevent the breast tissue from hardening.

04

Keep your incisions clean and dry, and use the scar cream prescribed to you.

05

Follow care instructions and attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing.

Bliss turns the typical procedure process into a transformative experience. From your first consultation to your final reveal, every step — before, during, and after — is personalized around you. Your Care Advisor will guide you through surgeon-matching, procedure prep, and post-op healing, making sure you’re fully supported, perfectly prepared, and cared for at every moment.

Let’s talk about results.

The investment you put in a Breast Augmentation and Lift comes with long-term rewards. The results, especially when paired with stable weight and good skincare, can last 10 years or more, with implants and lifted tissues maintaining their shape longer than a lift alone.

Immediate post-op

Expect soreness, discomfort, and the breasts to be firm where the implants are slightly high and still compressed.

Weeks 2-4

Swelling will subside, the implants will start to settle, and the asymmetry will slowly begin to correct itself.

Months 1-3

The breasts look more natural, and the incisions are fully healed.

Recovery Considerations

General Surgical Risks

A Breast Augmentation with a Lift increases size, typically by 1 to 3 cup sizes, while also improving projection and upper pole fullness (the roundness at the top of the breast). This dual approach addresses sagging by repositioning the nipple and tightening stretched skin, creating a firmer, more lifted look that closely mimics a natural breast contour.

This procedure is very beneficial for clients with noticeable asymmetry, whether due to genetics, aging, weight changes, or breastfeeding. By customizing implant size and placement, surgeons can create more balanced, proportionate results, not just between the breasts but also the entire torso. Many clients report an elevated sense of confidence in fitted clothing and swimwear after.

By combining a Breast Augmentation and Lift into one procedure, clients benefit from a single surgery, one anesthesia session, and one recovery timeline, typically lasting 1–2 weeks for light activity and 4–6 weeks for full healing.

Implants come with their own set of risks, including capsular contracture (tight scar tissue that can make the breast feel firm), implant rupture or leakage, and Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma. Implants can also make mammograms more challenging, which is why ongoing self-awareness is key. Around 90% of breast cancer cases are first detected through self-exams. It's essential to regularly check your breasts and become familiar with how they look and feel after your procedure. Choosing the right implant type, working with a board-certified surgeon, and staying up to date with screenings like MRIs or ultrasounds can reduce these risks.

Some clients may experience changes in nipple or breast sensation, breast pain, scarring, or implant malposition. Most of these effects are temporary or manageable with proper planning. Discussing incision placement, following post-op care instructions, and wearing supportive garments can help reduce discomfort, improve healing, and sustain your results.

As with any procedure, there are broader health considerations, such as infection, tissue necrosis (especially in smokers or those with certain conditions), and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). These risks can be minimized by avoiding smoking, staying mobile after surgery, keeping the surgical site clean, and following all prescribed medications and care guidelines.
