Also called augmentation mastopexy, this procedure combines two operations. The lift removes stretched skin, reshapes the tissue, and raises the nipple. The implant restores fullness, especially in the upper breast where deflation shows most. Together they achieve what neither can alone.
This combination fits patients who have:
If you have sagging but are happy with your size, a lift alone may serve you better. If you have volume loss without sagging, augmentation alone may be enough. The consultation sorts this out precisely.
Combining a lift and an implant in one operation requires balancing opposing forces. The lift tightens while the implant stretches. Dr. Goel plans both together, choosing a conservative implant size that the lifted tissue can support long term. Incisions follow the lift pattern your anatomy requires. Surgery takes place in an accredited facility and usually runs two to three hours.
Recovery mirrors a breast lift: about a week before returning to desk work, several weeks in a support bra, and two to three months for the final shape to settle as the implants soften.
Augmentation mastopexy is considered one of the harder operations in breast surgery to get right. Dr. Goel's training at USC's Keck School of Medicine and as Chief Resident at UC Irvine, plus his conservative sizing philosophy, is built for it.
Usually yes. In select cases with severe sagging, staging the procedures is safer, and Dr. Goel will tell you if you are one of them.
Oversized implants can. That is why Dr. Goel sizes conservatively, so your tissue supports the result for years.
The incision pattern is the same as the lift you would need anyway. The implant adds no extra scarring.
Lift and fullness in one recovery. Request a consultation with Dr. Goel in Beverly Hills.
