What Is Breast Augmentation With a Lift?

Breast augmentation with a lift fuses the benefits of two gold-standard body contouring procedures to offer patients a more sculpted, proportionate silhouette. The augmentation portion of the surgery boosts chest volume with customized implants, while the mastopexy portion elevates drooping breasts, eradicates excess skin, and repositions the nipples in a more youthful-looking location. The end result is perkier, more youthful-looking breasts, increased self-confidence, and a wider range of options for clothing, swimwear, and lingerie. 

Whether your breasts have changed after pregnancy and nursing or you are unhappy with physical shifts due to aging or massive weight loss, a combination augmentation and lift procedure can help you regain the physique you desire.

Your Implant Choices

Breast implants come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes for ultimate customization. Our team will discuss your options in more depth during your private consultation, allowing you to “try on” different devices under your shirt in the mirror to get an idea of how you will look after surgery. In general, the following implant types can be selected:

Saline

These implants can be inserted unfilled, allowing for a shorter scar. They contain saltwater that can be harmlessly absorbed by the body in the rare event of rupture. Because each implant can be filled to a different volume capacity, saline devices are a good solution for breast asymmetry. The drawback is that they tend to look and feel less authentic than their silicone counterparts.

Silicone

While slightly more costly, silicone implants provide patients with a highly natural chest appearance, making them the most popular choice when it comes to breast augmentation. They hold their shape regardless of what activities the patient engages in. Women with silicone implants need to undergo regular testing to ensure there has been no leakage or rupture.

What to Expect From the Procedure

Your breast augmentation with a lift in Richmond, VA, is performed under general anesthesia, allowing you to sleep soundly as Dr. Reps Sundin and Dr. Burton Sundin restore the appearance of your breasts. To begin, the surgeons will create capsules or pockets in the chest to house the implants. The devices are then carefully placed to create a natural-looking, elegant outcome. Next, the doctors will trim excess sagging skin, sculpting more youthful, perky breast mounds. The nipples will then be repositioned to best complement your newly contoured chest. Finally, your incisions will be closed using state-of-the-art suturing techniques, and you will be placed in the recovery room for monitoring until you are cleared to go home. 

Your Recovery Journey

Most patients need 1-2 weeks of good rest and recuperation after a breast augmentation with a lift. As you heal, you should prioritize sleeping well, drinking plenty of fluids, and refraining from physical exertion for 4-6 weeks. Immediately after surgery, you will experience swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the chest. Wearing a supportive compression garment can help reduce your swelling, and you can take prescription and over-the-counter painkillers to offset any discomfort. 

Dr. Reps Sundin and Dr. Burton Sundin will provide a detailed aftercare plan with instructions for incision care, showering and bathing, resuming physical activities, and returning to work. It can take several months for all residual swelling to completely subside, so don’t judge your final results too early. Our team at The Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery will be on hand to address any questions or concerns that arise during the recovery process, so don’t hesitate to reach out.

Is Breast Augmentation With a Lift Painful?

Breast augmentation with a lift in Richmond is performed under general anesthesia. This means you sleep through the procedure and don’t remember anything. After surgery, it is common to struggle with soreness in the chest, but you will be prescribed narcotic painkillers to help manage discomfort.

How Long Until I See Results?

Right after surgery, you will be able to see improvements in the size and projection of your chest. However, it can take some weeks for all residual swelling to dissipate and for your implants to settle into place.

What Will Scarring Look Like?

Dr. Reps Sundin and Dr. Burton Sundin place incisions in areas where scars will later be the least noticeable. If the incision is created around the areola, scars are well-hidden within the area’s darker pigments. If the incision is made along the breast crease, the scar will be unnoticeable, covered by the bra or bikini line.

Can I Breastfeed After Breast Augmentation With a Lift?

If you wish to breastfeed in the future, make sure to discuss this with our team during your private consultation. Dr. Reps Sundin and Dr. Burton Sundin can select techniques and incision patterns that maximize your chances of being able to nurse again down the line.

Can I Combine Breast Augmentation With a Lift With Other Procedures?

Yes. Dr. Reps Sundin and Dr. Burton Sundin commonly pair breast augmentation and mastopexy with a more comprehensive mommy makeover to restore a woman’s appearance from head to toe.
