Breast lift with implants, also known as mastopexy with implants, is a surgery that combines a breast lift with volume enhancement using breast implants.

This procedure is ideal for women looking to restore the shape, firmness, and projection of their breasts following changes due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or simply the passage of time.

Below, we explain when this surgery is recommended and the benefits of combining it with other procedures like fat grafting.

What is a breast lift with implants?

A lift or mastopexy is the surgical procedure that corrects sagging breasts (breast ptosis), repositioning the breast tissue and the areola-nipple complex to achieve a firmer, more lifted bust.

When combined with implants, it also restores or increases volume, improving the shape and aesthetic balance of the chest.

When is a breast lift with implants ideal?

A mastopexy can be performed perfectly well without implants, and not all patients who want to lift their breasts need prosthetics, but there are certain circumstances where combining them is the best option, depending on your desires and aesthetic goals.

This surgery is ideal if you experience:

Loss of volume and sagging

After pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes, breasts can lose their internal structure and volume, resulting in a hollow appearance. In these cases, implants help restore fullness to the upper pole of the breast, which a lift alone cannot achieve.

Sagging breasts with little breast tissue

When the skin has stretched and there is little breast tissue available, an implant helps restore shape and firmness, avoiding flat results or a lack of volume.

Desire to lift and augment at the same time

If you want a larger bust or more projection in addition to improving its position, a breast lift with implants is the most suitable procedure. A mastopexy without implants can lift the breasts, but it does not increase their size.

Changes after breastfeeding or weight loss

When breasts look empty, deflated, or have stretched skin, the combination of a lift and implants adds volume and improves the cleavage area.

What are the benefits of a breast lift with implants?

• It redefines the shape and position of the bust.
• It restores volume lost after hormonal changes or weight fluctuations.
• It improves breast asymmetry.
• It offers a more voluptuous result.
• It can be tailored to each individual's anatomy and aesthetic preferences.

Can it be combined with fat grafting?

Yes. An increasingly common trend is to combine a breast lift with implants and fat grafting using your own tissue to achieve a more personalized and natural result.

Breast fat grafting allows you to:

• Soften the edges of the implant and improve the transition with the chest wall.
• Refining the cleavage contour with your own fat.
• Providing a more natural feel to the touch.

This approach combines technology, precision, and naturalness, allowing for balanced results that adapt to each patient's body.

Why isn't a lift without implants always enough?

When the goal is to lift and add volume, a mastopexy without implants may not be sufficient. Although a lift corrects sagging and improves shape, it does not add volume, which can result in less projection and a less voluptuous cleavage.

How do you know if you are an ideal candidate for a lift with implants?

A personalized medical assessment is the first step. During the consultation, we evaluate factors such as:

• Amount and quality of breast tissue.
• Degree of skin laxity and breast ptosis (sagging).
• Expectations regarding size and shape.
• General health status.

Based on this, we determine whether a mastopexy with or without implants is recommended, or even if it should be complemented with fat grafting to perfect the result. If you are looking to restore the shape and volume of your breasts, I look forward to seeing you for your assessment consultation. to provide you with comprehensive advice and determine the best technique for you.
