Breast Lift with Implants (Augmentation Mastopexy)
Redefine the Shape, Volume, and Firmness of Your Breasts
What Is Breast Lift with Implants ?
Breast Lift with Implants refers to a combined aesthetic surgical procedure also known as Augmentation Mastopexy. This surgery enhances the breasts by increasing their volume using implants, correcting sagginess and elevating the nipple position by means of a breast lift technique. This surgery results in more rounded, firmer, and well-centered breasts on the chest wall while respecting the harmony of the silhouette.
Why considering Breast Lift with Implants ?
A Matter of Self-Esteem and Desire for Transformation
Some women choose this intervention to feel more in tune with their bodies and to boost their self-confidence. Augmentation + Mastopexy offers a solution for achieving a bust that is in balance with their silhouette and aspirations. Others prefer fuller, lifted, and enhanced breasts.
Restoration of Volume and Firmness
Aging, pregnancy, or weight loss can lead to a loss of volume and sagging of the breasts. Breast lift with implants restores this fullness, repositions the breast gland relative to its implantation base, and improves firmness while providing a natural and rounded shape.
Correction of Saggy Breasts
This intervention is particularly suitable for addressing skin excess & laxity and restoring the breasts to their original position and shape.

Personalized Consultation
Before the procedure, a consultation with the surgeon is necessary to assess the needs and expectations of the patient. After an open and relaxed discussion about motivations, preferences, and concerns, the surgeon evaluates the breasts to establish an appropriate treatment plan. Measurements are taken to select the type and size of the implant that best suits your body. Additionally, information and explanations will be provided regarding the breast augmentation-lift surgery process, pre- and post-operative instructions, as well as the benefits and risks. Depending on the case, pre-operative tests may be prescribed. Breast implants can be classified based on: - Shape: Anatomical implants (tear-shaped) and round implants (half-sphere). - Filling material: Silicone gel or saline solution. - Surface: Smooth, nano-textured, micro-textured, textured, or polyurethane. - Brand: Several brands of implants catering to the characteristics and preferences of patients. The augmentation-lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and lasts between 2.5 to 4 hours.
Procedure Steps
Incisions are typically made in the infra-mammary fold and around the upper hemiareola (crescent lift) or in an inverted T scar (anchor) depending on the needs of each patient. Implants are most often placed behind the pectoral muscle to ensure good tissue coverage of the prosthesis and to achieve durable results that meet expectations.

Post-Operative Care after Augmentation Mastopexy: Recovery and Care Guidelines
Immediate Recovery Phase
A compressive bra is generally prescribed to support the breasts and promote healing for 6 to 8 weeks. Discomfort similar to soreness may be experienced, and pain relief medications may be prescribed to enhance post-operative comfort. Mild swelling and bruising are common and should gradually subside.
Return to Daily Life
A social rest period of 10 to 14 days is recommended. It is advised to avoid intense physical exertion for 6 to 8 weeks following the operation, including lifting heavy objects and engaging in sports.
Follow-Up and Healing
Follow-up appointments with the surgeon are essential to monitor healing progress and ensure that recovery is proceeding correctly. Scars gradually fade and can be treated with specific creams to improve their appearance.
Final Results
The final results of a Breast Augmentation + Mastopexy become visible after 6 months to 1 year, once tissues stabilize and scars fade. The breasts will then appear natural, harmonious, and in line with the patient's expectations.
Tips for Optimal Recovery
Avoid direct sun exposure on the scars to prevent pigmentation. Maintain a balanced diet and avoid smoking to promote optimal healing. Follow the surgeon's recommendations regarding wearing the supportive bra and activities to avoid during the recovery period. By adhering to these tips and having realistic expectations, patients can achieve a significant improvement in their silhouette and self-confidence after an augmentation-mastopexy.
