Aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and genetics can lead to sagging breasts and loss of volume. For many patients, a dual approach, a breast lift (mastopexy) combined with breast augmentation, provides optimal contour, firmness, and shape.
Why Combine Breast Lift and Augmentation?
- Corrects Sagging and Restores Volume
- A breast lift repositions and tightens sagging tissue, lifting the breast and nipple to a youthful position
- Breast augmentation adds volume and enhances shape with silicone or saline implants
- Creates a Fuller, Firmer Silhouette
- Lifted and tightened breasts gain firmness and an improved profile
- Augmentation enhances fullness, addressing volume loss from factors like pregnancy or ageing
- Tailored Scarring with Precision Planning
- Dr. Hamilton uses vertical (short-scar) mastopexy techniques, ensuring shorter, less visible scars
- Implant incisions are placed discreetly (typically inframammary fold), further minimising visible scarring
- Achieves Natural-Looking, Balanced Results
- Saves Time and Reduces Overall Recovery
- Instead of separate surgeries, combining saves time and reduces aggregate downtime.
- Both are typically day procedures lasting around two to three hours each.
What to Expect
Consultation
A comprehensive evaluation covers breast shape, volume needs, and scar minimisation. Dr. Hamilton uses 3D imaging to customise implant selection and sizing.
Surgery
- Combined procedure under general or IV sedation.
- Lift involves removing excess skin, repositioning breast tissue, and raising nipple position.
- Implants are inserted through small inframammary incisions, placed submuscularly or subglandularly based on patient anatomy and preference.
Recovery
- Initial swelling and discomfort typically resolve within two days for augmentation and within two weeks for lift procedures
- Return to light activities around one week post-op; avoid heavy lifting for several weeks.
