Breast Augmentation With Lift

Lifted. Fuller. Perfectly Balanced.

Breast Augmentation With Lift at John M. Compoginis, MD, Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery

When breasts lose volume and begin to sag due to aging, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy, a single procedure may not fully address both concerns. Breast augmentation with lift (also known as augmentation mastopexy) combines implants with surgical lifting techniques to restore both breast volume and position.

Dr. Compoginis approaches this dual procedure with a sculptor’s precision, carefully balancing implant size, implant positioning, and skin reshaping to create a lifted, youthful, and natural breast shape that complements your body.

The Art of Volume + Lift

What is Breast Augmentation With Lift?

Breast augmentation with lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure that combines breast augmentation (using implants or fat transfer) with a breast lift to enhance both size and shape.

While breast implants restore lost volume, a lift removes excess skin and repositions the breasts to a more youthful position. This dual procedure is ideal for patients experiencing sagging breasts, volume loss, and stretched breast skin.

By combining both techniques, patients can achieve a more complete transformation, addressing both deflation and drooping in a single surgical plan.

Precision Planning

What is the Breast Augmentation With Lift procedure like?

This procedure is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia.

Dr. Compoginis begins by placing the breast implants, either silicone breast implants or saline implants, to restore volume. He then performs the lift portion by removing extra skin, reshaping breast tissue, and repositioning the areola to a more youthful height.

Depending on your anatomy, incision techniques such as the lollipop lift or anchor-shaped incision may be used to achieve optimal results with minimal scarring. The result is a carefully sculpted breast with enhanced volume, improved symmetry, and a naturally lifted appearance.

For patients who want the added volume without implants, Dr. Compoginis offers a breast lift with fat transfer breast augmentation surgery, delivering fuller, perkier breasts that look and feel impeccably natural.

When Volume Loss Meets Sagging

What conditions does Breast Augmentation With Lift address?

This dual procedure is ideal for addressing:

  • Sagging breasts (breast ptosis)
  • Loss of breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss
  • Stretched or loose breast skin
  • Downward-pointing nipples
  • Breast asymmetry
  • Flattened or deflated breast shape

By combining augmentation with lift, both structural and aesthetic concerns are treated simultaneously.

Better Breast Shape

Am I a candidate for Breast Augmentation With Lift?

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Have sagging breasts and lost breast volume
  • Notice nipples sitting below the breast crease
  • Have experienced changes due to pregnancy, aging, or weight fluctuations
  • Are in good health and at a stable weight
  • Have realistic expectations about outcomes

This procedure is especially beneficial for patients who want both enhanced size and a lifted appearance in a single breast surgery.

One Recovery, Beautiful Results

Breast Augmentation With Lift Recovery

Recovery after augmentation with a lift is similar to both procedures combined.

Most patients wear a supportive surgical bra during the initial healing phase to protect implant positioning and support the newly lifted breast tissue. Swelling, tightness, and mild discomfort are common in the first week.

Light activities can typically resume within 7–10 days, while more strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks. Following all post-operative instructions, including proper support and limited movement, helps ensure optimal healing.

Fuller Volume, Elevated Confidence

Breast Augmentation With Lift Results

Results from breast augmentation with lift are noticeable immediately, though swelling will temporarily affect the final appearance. As the healing process progresses, the breasts settle into a softer, more natural shape.

Patients enjoy restored volume, improved breast position, and enhanced symmetry, resulting in a more youthful, balanced silhouette. Over time, scars continue to fade, and results become even more refined. With proper care and stable weight, results are long-lasting, helping patients maintain a lifted, fuller look for years to come.

"Dr. Compoginis was a referral from my Primary Care Physician, and she’s super picky, so that was a great start. When I met Dr. C & his staff (especially Meg & Gabby), they immediately put me at ease. Dr. C has outstanding credentials and a great low-key style. He listens to what you want to accomplish and gives you options to consider. I’m now 9 weeks post op and doing extremely well. I followed all his guidelines, and he was always available for questions and concerns. The whole team is approachable, accessible, and flexible. The results are well above my expectations, and I highly recommend Dr. C. You will be in experienced and compassionate hands and look awesome!"

"He was a great surgeon. I had major surgery on my jaw, and to fix the trauma that happened to my face about 4 months ago. He did a great job, and I'm able to sing and eat food without pain. Sometimes the metal plate makes my face a bit tingly at times, but it's not that bad. I'm grateful to have met and worked with a wonderful surgeon. I woke up a bit faster from the anesthesia and my nose was all fixed up. He has a great bedside manner."
