Why Combine a Breast Lift With Augmentation?
For many women, achieving the ideal breast appearance requires addressing more than one concern. Aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and breastfeeding can all contribute to sagging breasts, volume loss, and changes in shape. While some women may opt for a breast lift (mastopexy) to correct sagging or a breast augmentation (augmentation mammoplasty) to increase size, combining both procedures can deliver more harmonious and longer-lasting results.

Here’s why choosing to combine a breast lift with augmentation can be an excellent decision for women seeking to restore their chest appearance:
Comprehensive Aesthetic Improvements
Performing a breast lift with augmentation allows us to target two primary concerns simultaneously: sagging and volume loss. Breast lift surgery is used to reposition and reshape sagging breasts, creating a more youthful, lifted appearance. For women who also desire fuller breasts, an augmentation complements the lift by restoring or increasing size.
A Streamlined Recovery
Undergoing a breast lift and augmentation in a single surgery offers the advantage of a reduced recovery time. Patients avoid the need for two separate surgeries and healing periods. This not only saves time but also minimizes the overall surgical risks associated with anesthesia and multiple surgeries.
Long-Lasting Results
The results of a combined breast lift with augmentation are typically long-lasting, especially when patients maintain a stable weight and follow Dr. Park’s post-operative care guidelines. The breast lift component helps correct sagging that may develop over time, while the augmentation ensures fullness and shape, giving patients complete confidence in their new appearance for years to come.
More Options With Implants or Fat Grafting
When it comes to breast augmentation, patients can usually choose between implants or fat grafting. Each method offers unique advantages:
- Implants – These provide precise control over breast size, shape, and projection. They are ideal for women looking for significant volume increase and long-term durability.
- Fat grafting – Also known as fat transfer, this technique utilizes the patient’s own fat (harvested from other areas of the body) to enhance breast size. It’s perfect for those seeking a more natural, subtle increase in volume with permanent results.
Combining a breast lift with either implants or fat grafting allows for even greater flexibility and personalization. Whether a patient desires a dramatic change or a more natural enhancement, the combination approach ensures that we are able to address patient objectives more accurately.
