Is a Breast Augmentation with Lift Right for You? What You Need to Know

If you’re considering enhancing your curves but also want to correct sagging or restore youthful breast shape, a Breast Augmentation with Lift (also known as Augmentation Mastopexy) could be the ideal solution. At Vennemeyer Plastic Surgery in Southlake, TX, we specialize in combining breast implants with a breast lift to give women natural, beautiful results that boost confidence and body proportions.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation with Lift?

Women between the ages of 18 and up often choose this combined procedure when they:

  • Want fuller, rounder breasts and also need a lift to correct sagging (ptosis)
  • Have lost volume or shape after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging
  • Experience stretched skin, nipples that point downward, or breast asymmetry
  • Are in good health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations

Many women seeking this procedure tell us they want to look better in clothes and swimsuits or feel more confident without a bra.

Why Combine Breast Augmentation with a Lift?

A breast augmentation adds volume using implants, while a lift reshapes and repositions the breast tissue and nipples. The combination:

  • Restores youthful position and shape
  • Creates a perkier, more lifted appearance
  • Corrects deflation, sagging, and loss of firmness
  • Delivers fuller, natural-looking results in one surgery

Without a lift, placing implants alone on sagging breasts can lead to an unnatural look where the implant sits too high and the breast tissue hangs below. This combination solves that issue.

What Happens During the Procedure?

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2–3 hours. Incisions vary based on the amount of lift needed and may include:

  • A circle around the areola (periareolar)
  • A “lollipop” incision (vertical from areola down to breast crease)
  • An “anchor” incision for more significant lifts

Implants are placed to restore volume, and the breast tissue is lifted and tightened for an attractive, perky shape. Dr. Vennemeyer customizes every surgical plan to meet your unique body and aesthetic goals.

What to Expect During Recovery

  • Most patients return to light activity within 3–5 days
  • Full healing and return to exercise typically take 6 weeks
  • You’ll wear a surgical bra for support and follow personalized post-op instructions
  • Some swelling, bruising, and tightness are normal in the first few weeks

Our fast-recovery protocols help many women feel back to themselves quicker than expected.

How Long Will Results Last?

Breast augmentation with lift results are long-lasting, especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle and good support bras. Over time, natural aging and gravity will still affect the breasts, but most women enjoy their results for many years before considering future revision.
