What is Breast Lift with Augmentation?
For selected patients, a breast lift may be combined with augmentation to improve both position and volume — ideal when breasts have lost fullness and also sag, often after pregnancy or weight loss.
Who is it for? Sagging breasts with volume loss, in women in good health with a stable weight.

Safety and risks
Like any surgery, this procedure carries risks such as bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry and anaesthesia-related complications. Combining two procedures needs careful planning; in some cases they are staged. Your surgeon will explain your individual risks and how they are minimised.
Frequently asked questions
Am I a good candidate?
Good candidates are in good general health, non-smokers (or willing to stop), with realistic expectations. Your surgeon decides after assessment.
Why combine a lift and implants?
Implants alone can't correct significant sagging, and a lift alone doesn't add volume.
Is it one operation?
Often yes, but some patients are safer with two stages.
What are the scars like?
Similar to a breast lift; they fade over time.
Surgical procedures require a surgeon consultation and pre-operative assessment. Results and risks vary between individuals.
