Can I get a mastopexy at the same time as implants?

Your surgeon has made this decision based on what they believe is the safest approach for you, determined by your physiology, goals and their surgical experience. If you trust your surgeon then it would be best to follow as they advise. If not, you are welcome to get second opinions.

Yes, it is common for women to undergo a mastopexy (breast lift) at the same time as breast augmentation with implants. This combination procedure is often referred to as an "augmentation mastopexy" or "breast lift with implants."

Women who consider this combination procedure typically have concerns about both sagging breasts and a desire for increased breast volume. A mastopexy is performed to lift and reshape the breasts, addressing issues such as sagging, while breast implants are used to enhance breast volume.

The benefits of combining these procedures include:

Single Surgery: Having a mastopexy and breast augmentation in a single surgery means a single recovery period and less overall downtime compared to undergoing separate procedures at different times.

Comprehensive Enhancement: The combination allows for a comprehensive enhancement of both breast shape and size, providing more balanced and satisfying results for many patients.

Customization: Surgeons can tailor the procedure to the individual's specific needs, achieving a more harmonious outcome.

However, it's important to note that not everyone is a candidate for combined mastopexy and breast augmentation. The decision depends on factors such as the degree of breast sagging, the desired size and shape, and the patient's overall health.

Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and determine the most suitable approach for you. They will evaluate your anatomy, discuss your expectations, and provide recommendations based on their expertise and your unique situation.
