For some women, a breast lift alone isn’t enough to achieve their ideal shape—especially if there’s also a desire for added volume or upper-breast fullness. Combining a breast lift with implants addresses both concerns at once: lifting the breasts to a more youthful position and enhancing size for fuller, balanced contours.
At The Brandow Clinic Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Kirk Brandow performs breast lifts with implants for patients in Main Line Philadelphia and Somers Point, NJ. His approach focuses on achieving natural, proportional results that suit each patient’s body and goals.
What Is a Breast Lift with Implants?
A breast lift with implants combines two procedures in one surgery:
- Breast lift (mastopexy) – Removes excess skin, reshapes the breast, and repositions the nipple for a lifted, firmer look.
- Breast augmentation – Uses an implant to add volume, improve shape, or enhance cleavage.
This combination is ideal for women who want to correct sagging while also increasing breast size or restoring fullness lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss.
Implant Choices
Implant type, size, and shape vary. The best choice depends on your anatomy, preferences, and your surgeon’s recommendations. Commonly used options in breast augmentation include silicone and saline implants, available in different shapes and surface textures.
During your consultation, Dr. Brandow will review the available options, explain the benefits of each, and guide you toward the one that aligns with your desired outcome.
How the Procedure Works
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia in a certified surgical facility. Dr. Brandow begins with carefully planned incisions to lift and reshape the breast tissue, then repositions the nipple and areola for a natural look. The chosen implant is placed either under the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle, depending on your anatomy and goals.
Incisions are then closed with fine sutures to encourage smooth healing and minimal scarring.
Recovery involves:
- Mild swelling and soreness for 1–2 weeks
- Returning to light activities within about a week
- Avoiding strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks
Results are visible immediately, with final shape and position settling over the following months.
Who Is a Candidate for Breast Lift with Implants?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have sagging breasts and want to restore volume at the same time
- Want fuller upper-breast contours in addition to lift
- Have realistic expectations and are in good overall health
This combination can be especially beneficial for women after pregnancy and breastfeeding, as it addresses both volume loss and stretched skin.
