I was advised to have a Breast Lift with my augmentation. I am not sure I want to have it done due to scarring, recovery, and increased cost. If I just do the augmentation and don't like the results, can I have a lift at a later point?

Answer: Breast Lift with Implants
Having already had one anesthesia you might as well go ahead and have the breast lift at the same time saving yourself a second anesthia. If your doctor is recomending a lift it probably because you have excess skin , you do not want to end up with what is known as "snoopy boobs". If scarring is your fear there are many medical grade scarring creams that can used such as BioCorneum

Answer: Yes but you may not ever get as nice an outcome as if you had followed your surgeon's recommendation Hi there- Breast augmentation with mastopexy certainly can be staged into two operations, particularly if you and your surgeon are not sure the breast lift will be necessary to achieve your goals. This is a much different situation, however from one in which your surgeon is recommending that you have a breast lift with your augmentation in order to achieve the goal you have described to them... In my experience, achieving the optimal breast shape is absolutely critical, and much more important than size, and if you need a breast lift to have a pleasant shape and don't have this done, you are likely to be unhappy after augmentation as the breasts look larger, more droopy (due to the weight of the implants), and matronly. Even if it means delaying your surgery, I would recommend returning to your surgeon for another visit... Talk to them about why they made the recommendation and see if it makes more sense to you.
