Here’s a look at who a breast augmentation with lift is right for.
There are several reasons why you may be looking into breast surgery combining a lift with augmentation. It’s an ideal choice if you want to significantly rejuvenate your breasts while improving the firmness of your breast skin. You may have developed breast ptosis (sagging) caused by aging, significant weight loss, or pregnancy; therefore, you would like to enhance the volume of your breasts — this can all be achieved with an augmentation and lift. We will be able to determine if a lift alone will get your desired outcome, or if both a lift and implants are better to attain your goals.
How It Works
Surgical Techniques
Here’s how our surgical technique works.
A combination breast surgery is commonly done at an accredited surgical facility as an outpatient procedure where you will be sedated with general anesthesia. In most cases, the lift portion of the surgery is done first. The excess skin is eliminated, and the soft tissue is smoothed. Dr. Canales, Dr. Furnas, or Dr. Culbertson will explain the options available for breast implants before your surgery so your implants will be ready for placement. In certain patients, the nipple-areola complex may be moved to match your new breast shape and size.

FAQ
How much does breast augmentation with a lift cost?
Your costs for a breast augmentation with a lift will vary, depending on multiple factors, like whether you want implants (saline or silicone) or a fat transfer. Also, the complexity of the lift will help determine your cost. In your initial consultation, we will develop a personalized surgical plan and then estimate your costs. Plastic Surgery Associates of Santa Rosa takes many payment methods, and we can help you find low-interest financing.
Will a breast augmentation with a lift correct sagging?
A good reason to get breast surgery that combines augmentation with a lift is that it increases the size of your chest while also addressing sag by removing loose skin. The breast lift will also adjust your natural breast tissue so the results are perky and firm. This is crucial since augmenting breasts with mild sagging may cause a less than ideal outcome if a breast lift isn’t done to address the sag. To address sagging, a breast lift should be completed, and then a fat transfer or implants can be added. In your initial consultation with Dr. Canales, Dr. Furnas, or Dr. Culbertson, they will understand your concerns and wants before examining the condition of your chest. Following this, they can offer their suggestion on whether you need a lift, implants, or a combination of both.
Which incision is best for my surgery?
Incisions patterns for breast surgery have become more advanced with techniques being developed to help minimize the visibility of scars. The surgical incision that is best for you will be chosen based on the type of implants and severity of breast sag. To correct moderate to severe breast sag, an anchor-shaped incision pattern is most effective. When forming your surgical plan, Dr. Canales, Dr. Furnas, or Dr. Culbertson will go over incision options and which fits your needs. No matter what pattern is selected, they will make incisions carefully for natural-looking results.
How long will my results last?
If you don’t have dramatic weight changes or get pregnant, your results from a breast augmentation with a lift should last many years. Although both silicone and saline implants can last for many years, they should be assessed regularly to check their condition. In the surgery, our plastic surgeons set your implants with a technique that reduces breast sagging. This will help your results last for a long time. It’s important to know that while cosmetic breast surgery will give beautiful results, the natural aging process still occurs. In time, you might begin to notice sagging and loose skin again, but this can be addressed with another procedure.
How bad is the scarring?
Our plastic surgeons perform breast augmentation with a lift so all incisions are thin and small. They do their best to make incisions in areas that are difficult to see, like in the breast folds or on the areola border. If you properly care for them, the scars created by your breast augmentation plus lift will, in time, lighten so they blend more with your normal skin. We will discuss scar care instructions you need to follow after your procedure so your incisions heal properly.
