Breast Augmentation with Mastopexy
What Is Breast Augmentation with Mastopexy?
Breast augmentation with mastopexy is a combined procedure that enhances breast volume while also lifting and reshaping the breasts for a more youthful, balanced contour. Mastopexy is another term for a breast lift. It addresses drooping by tightening the breast tissue and repositioning the nipple and areola to a more natural location. Augmentation adds volume, most commonly with an implant, to improve fullness and shape. When performed together, the goal is a breast appearance that is both more lifted and more proportionate, with results that look refined and natural.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Augmentation with Mastopexy?
This combination procedure is designed for patients who want both improved position and added volume, rather than choosing one or the other. Benefits may include:
A higher, more youthful breast position with improved shape
Restored volume and fullness, including upper pole fullness when desired
Improved nipple and areola position for a more balanced appearance
Better overall proportion and symmetry, especially after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
A single, coordinated surgical plan and recovery when it is safe and appropriate
The outcome is intended to look elegant and natural, with the breast shape and volume tailored to your anatomy and preferences.
Who Are Candidates for Breast Augmentation with Mastopexy?
You may be a good candidate for breast augmentation with mastopexy if you want to address both drooping and loss of volume. Ideal candidates often:
Have breast sagging along with volume loss or a “deflated” appearance
Want fuller breasts but also need a lift to achieve an attractive, stable shape
Have nipples that sit low on the breast or point downward
Are in good overall health and at a stable weight
Understand that surgical scars are an expected trade-off for improved shape and position
During your consultation, Dr. Cheng will evaluate your anatomy, skin quality, and goals to determine whether the combined approach is appropriate, and to recommend implant type, size, and lift technique for the most natural, proportionate result.
