Pregnancy, weight changes, and aging can cause breasts to lose volume and begin to sag. If you’re looking to restore both fullness and position, a breast augmentation with lift—also called augmentation mastopexy—can deliver powerful results in a single surgery.
At the American Institute for Plastic Surgery, we help women across Frisco, Dallas, and surrounding areas achieve natural, long-lasting breast enhancement that feels right for their body.
What Is Breast Augmentation with Lift?
A breast lift with implants combines two techniques into one procedure:
- Breast augmentation adds volume and shape using implants.
- A breast lift repositions sagging breast tissue and raises the nipple for a more youthful contour.
By performing both together, we address two goals simultaneously: restoring fullness while eliminating droop or deflation. The result is a more lifted, balanced, and proportionate appearance without the need for separate surgeries.
This procedure can be customized to suit your anatomy, skin quality, goals, and preferred implant type.

Types of Procedures We Offer
During your consultation, your surgeon will recommend a surgical plan designed specifically for you. At AI4PS, options include:
Implant Choices:
- Silicone implants for a natural feel
- Saline implants for adjustable volume and smaller incisions
- IDEAL implants (structured saline) for a hybrid of feel and safety
Lift Techniques:
- Periareolar (donut) – for mild sagging and smaller scars
- Vertical (lollipop) – for moderate sagging
- Anchor (inverted-T) – for more significant reshaping
Single-Stage vs. Staged Approach:
Many patients are candidates for a combined procedure in one surgery. In some cases, performing the lift and implant surgery in stages may be safer or more effective.
Who Is a Candidate for Augmentation Mastopexy?
You may be a candidate for a combined breast augmentation and lift if you:
- Have sagging (ptosis) and loss of volume in the breasts
- Notice nipples that point downward or sit below the breast crease
- Want to address both size and shape in one procedure
- Are in good health, a non-smoker, and at a stable weight
- Are finished with pregnancy and breastfeeding (or don’t plan to breastfeed in the future)
During your consultation, our board-certified surgeons will evaluate your anatomy and goals to confirm whether this approach is the best option.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Breast lift and augmentation surgery is performed under general anesthesia at our accredited surgical center. The procedure typically lasts one to three hours.
Here’s how it works:
- Your surgeon makes incisions based on the lift technique needed
- A pocket is created beneath the breast tissue or muscle for the implant
- The implant is placed and positioned for natural projection
- Excess skin is removed, and the nipple-areola complex is resized and repositioned
- Incisions are closed with layered sutures to support healing
Our team will walk you through the process step-by-step so you know exactly what to expect.
Recovery After Breast Lift with Implants
You’ll return home the same day wearing a surgical bra and equipped with detailed aftercare instructions. Most patients experience bruising, swelling, and soreness during the first one to two weeks. Activity is limited for four to six weeks to allow the tissue to heal properly without strain.
While scars are an expected part of the recovery, incisions are placed strategically to remain discreet and typically fade nicely with time. You’ll also attend scheduled follow-up visits so your surgeon can monitor your healing and address any concerns.
Many women are ready to return to desk jobs within 7–10 days. Your surgeon will guide you on when it’s safe to resume lifting, exercise, and other daily routines.

Breast Augmentation FAQs
Will my chest look fake or overly augmented?
That’s a common concern. Results depend heavily on implant size, profile, and how well the implant fits your body. We use imaging and sizing trials during consultations to tailor the look to your frame and desired outcome.
Will breast implants make it harder to get a mammogram?
They can complicate imaging, but with proper technique—like displacement views or special imaging—radiologists can still examine breast tissue safely. Be sure to tell your mammography center that you have implants.
Do I need to have implants replaced someday?
Yes. Implants are not lifetime devices. Silicone and saline implants can rupture or shift over time. Routine monitoring, such as MRI or ultrasound screening every few years, is recommended.
What about rippling or visible implant edges?
Visible edges or rippling are more likely in thinner individuals with little breast tissue. Proper implant size, deeper placement (often under the muscle), and selection of more cohesive gel implants can help minimize this.
Can I lose sensation in my nipples?
Some temporary numbness is normal after surgery, especially in the first few months. In many patients, sensation returns. Permanent changes are rare but possible, depending on surgical technique and anatomy.
