About Breast Augmentation with Lift
As women age, they can lose breast volume while others may develop loose skin on their chest. Some women will have both changes with deflated, sagging breasts. If you want to improve breast volume while also eliminating excess skin, board-certified surgeon Dr. Tsion Berhane can perform a breast augmentation plus a lift (mastopexy). This combination of breast surgeries at Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery in Silver Spring, MD starts by removing fat from unwanted areas and adding it to the breasts to achieve your desired size. Breast augmentation with a lift improves multiple concerns, including position, size, and shape, to give you perkier, more youthful-looking breasts. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Berhane to go over your unique goals and needs so she can help you decide if a combination breast surgery with both augmentation and a lift best fits you.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Augmentation with Lift
There are many factors that may have you looking into breast surgery combining a lift with augmentation. It is an ideal choice if you desire to dramatically transform your breasts and improve your skin elasticity. You may have developed breast sagging due to natural aging, pregnancy, or significant weight loss, thus you want to increase the fullness of your breasts — this is all achieved with an augmentation and lift. Dr. Berhane can usually determine whether a breast lift alone can get your desired results, or if both a lift and fat transfer are better to reach your goals.
Surgical Technique
Breast augmentation with a lift is commonly done as an outpatient procedure where local anesthesia and mild sedation will be administered. In most cases, the lift portion of the surgery is done first. Any excess skin is eliminated and the soft tissue is tightened. Dr. Berhane will go over the options available for fat transfer before your surgery to discuss the desired change of size and shape of your breasts. In certain cases, the nipple-areola complex will need to be moved to better match your new breast shape and size.
What to Expect After Surgery
Breast surgery recovery time will vary by patient, but you should be strong enough to return to your normal activities within about seven days. However, you should abstain from exercise and strenuous activities for at least 2 – 6 weeks. There may also be some swelling following your surgery that can last for three weeks. Your breasts will begin to settle into their final position after several months, at which point, you will be able to enjoy your results.
