Breast Augmentation With Lift
With major life transitions, the shape, size, and projection of the breasts may change, creating an upper-body appearance that is unbalanced. Aging, pregnancy, nursing, genetics, hormonal shifts, and weight fluctuations can all play a role in destabilizing the breast mounds, compromising their volume, elasticity, and overall youthfulness.
Breast augmentation with lift is a combination procedure that addresses not only the breasts’ size and shape but also combats breast sagging and the descent of the nipples towards the breast creases. Excess skin is removed, the nipples are repositioned, and the breasts are beautifully enhanced with implants of your choice.
Dr. Beale is a world-renowned, rigorously trained plastic surgeon who served as Chief Resident at the prestigious University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. He is dedicated to providing you with a natural, elegant result that is perfectly suited to your express wishes and aesthetic tastes.
What is breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation helps to correct the volume loss that occurs in the breasts over time. The surgery has a high rate of satisfaction since women find that breast augmentation helps expand their wardrobe choices, boosts their self-confidence, and gives them the sculpted, proportionate figure they always desired.
Today’s breast implants come in many different sizes, shapes, and textures, so your procedure can be highly customized to your unique figure. Dr. Beale will meet with you in private to discuss the best approach for your body. You will be able to choose from the following options:
Saline
Saline implants can be inserted unfilled, allowing for a smaller incision and less scarring. They are made with a silicone shell surrounding sterilized saltwater, which, in the rare event that the implants rupture, can be harmlessly absorbed by the body without repercussions. Saline implants have a round, firm appearance and are approved for women over 18.
Silicone
Silicone implants are made with a silicone shell surrounding silicone gel. With a wide variety of shapes and sizes to choose from, these devices are reported to look and feel impressively natural. They are less prone to rippling than their saline counterparts, but leakage and rupture are harder to detect. Women must undergo regular diagnostic tests to ensure the implants remain intact. Silicone devices are approved for women over 22 years old.
Gummy Bear
Gummy bear implants got their name because of their firm, form-stable consistency. They are made with cohesive silicone gel, which holds its shape regardless of what activity the patient is performing. Gummy bear implants have a natural-looking tear-drop shape that many women find is a good match for their aesthetic goals.
What is a breast lift?
Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, is performed to reduce sagging in the breasts and address low-hanging nipples. The surgery removes excess skin and elevates the breast angle so that a perkier, more youthful upper body profile is achieved. Based on your preferences and the implants chosen, Dr. Beale will select the best incision type for your treatment plan. He will choose from the following:
Circumareolar lift
Here, Dr. Beale will make an incision encircling the nipples with scars nicely hidden in the darker shading of the areolas. This technique will work best for those who are only just beginning to witness breast ptosis.
Lollipop lift
The lollipop approach follows the shape of a child’s favorite treat. The incision is first made around the areola then it stretches down vertically to the breast crease. This technique allows Dr. Beale a great deal of flexibility when it comes to elevating and reshaping the breasts naturally.
Anchor lift
When a woman deals with moderate to severe sagging in the breasts, an anchor lift may be the best approach. Here, an incision is made encircling the nipple, stretching down vertically to the breast crease, and then stretching horizontally across the inframammary fold. The shape of the incisions resembles an upside-down “T” or an anchor.

Who is a good candidate for a breast augmentation with lift?
The ideal candidate for a combination breast augmentation and mastopexy is unhappy with a loss of breast volume as well as breast sagging. This client desires a larger cup size along with a perkier breast angle and repositioned nipples. Dr. Beale will perform an in-depth consultation, physical evaluation, and thorough review of your medical history before making his best recommendation for your treatment.
In order to qualify for a breast augmentation with lift, patients need to be non-smokers of sound mind and body who are not currently dealing with any significant health concerns. Clients should have a positive and realistic outlook towards their surgery results and be willing to follow Dr. Beale’s instructions before and after their procedure.
What can I expect from my recovery?
After breast surgery, it is common to experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the chest. Dr. Beale will provide you with prescription pain medications as well as a personalized aftercare plan. You’ll be advised to wear a compression garment that works to preserve the newly improved breast shape and cut down on swelling.
Recovery is different for everyone, but most patients can expect to return to work within 1-2 weeks, provided that their job is not physically demanding. Patients will be asked to abstain from vigorous activities and heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks, depending on the doctor’s recommendations.
