Is a Breast Lift with Implants Painful?

Most patients describe discomfort after a Breast Lift with Implants as manageable and similar to the soreness felt after a chest workout. Our team provides detailed postoperative instructions along with appropriate medication to keep you comfortable throughout the early recovery period. The majority of discomfort improves within the first few days as swelling decreases and mobility becomes easier. We monitor your progress closely and encourage you to contact our practice with any concerns during your recovery. Our goal is to ensure you feel supported and well cared for every step of the way.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Most patients will have an initial consultation, a preoperative visit, the surgery itself, and several follow-up appointments to monitor healing. These visits allow our team to evaluate your progress, answer questions, and ensure your recovery is on track. The number of follow-ups can vary depending on your individual needs, but we provide a clear schedule before your procedure so you know what to expect. Our practice is committed to maintaining open communication and offering continued support throughout your surgical journey.

How Long Will My Results Last?

As long as you do not have massive weight changes or become pregnant, a breast augmentation with a lift should last for a long time. Although both saline and silicone implants can last for many years, they do need to be assessed regularly to check for issues. During surgery, Dr. Marshall sets your implants using a method that minimizes future breast sag. This will help your results last for a long time. It is important to understand that while cosmetic breast surgery will give amazing results, natural aging will continue. Eventually, you may begin to develop loose skin and sag again, which can be addressed with a second procedure.

Can I Combine a Breast Lift with Implants with Other Procedures?

Yes, many patients choose to combine a breast lift with implants with additional procedures to achieve more comprehensive results. Common combinations include liposuction or body contouring procedures, especially when patients are seeking a more complete transformation. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your goals and determine which procedures can be safely performed together. Dr. Marshall will create a surgical plan that prioritizes safety, balanced proportions, and long-term outcomes. We guide you through each option so you can make informed decisions that best support your aesthetic goals.

What Are the Risks Associated with a Breast Lift with Implants?

As with any surgical procedure, a Breast Lift with Implants carries potential risks, which we review thoroughly during your consultation. These may include infection, bleeding, changes in nipple sensation, scarring, or implant-related concerns such as capsular contracture. Dr. Marshall follows advanced surgical techniques and strict safety protocols to reduce these risks and support a smooth recovery. Our team provides detailed postoperative instructions and ongoing follow-up to ensure any concerns are addressed promptly. We emphasize transparency and education so you feel fully informed before moving forward.

Will a Breast Lift with Implants Correct Sagging?

The benefit of a breast lift with implants is that it increases the size of your chest while correcting sagging by removing excess skin. The breast lift will also adjust your natural breast tissue, so your results are perky and firm. This is important because augmenting breasts with even mild sagging can create a negative outcome if a lift isn’t performed to address the sag. If moderate to severe sagging is present, a lift should be performed, followed by implants or a fat transfer. During your consultation with Dr. Marshall, he will listen to your concerns and goals before examining your chest. Following this, he can give you his recommendation on whether your goals require a lift, implants, or a combination of both.

Which Incision is Best for My Surgery?

Breast surgery incisions have become more advanced, with new techniques being performed that help reduce scarring. The surgical incision that is best for you will depend on the type of implants and the severity of breast sag. If you have severe breast sag, an anchor-shaped incision pattern is most effective. When developing your surgical plan, Dr. Marshall will review incision patterns and determine which is best for your needs. Regardless of the method used, Dr. Marshall makes incisions carefully for natural-looking results.

How Bad Is the Scarring?

Dr. Marshall performs surgical augmentation with a lift, so all incisions are thin and small. He does his best to place incisions in areas that are less visible, such as in the folds of the breast or along the areola border. If you properly care for them, the scars created by your breast augmentation with a lift will eventually fade — so they blend with your normal skin. Dr. Marshall or a member of his staff will discuss scar care tips you should follow after your surgery — so your incisions heal flat and smooth.

What is a Breast Lift with Implants?

As you get older, your breast volume can decrease, and you may begin to notice deflated, sagging breasts. If you want to increase breast volume, improve breast symmetry while also removing excess skin, you may be a great candidate for breast augmentation surgery with a lift (mastopexy). This procedure at the practice of Dr. Andre Marshall in Beverly Hills, CA, starts by removing loose skin from the breasts and then placing saline or silicone implants to reach your desired size. Breast surgery with augmentation and lift improves several concerns, such as position, size, and shape, to give you perkier, more youthful-looking breasts. Schedule a consultation with double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Andre P. Marshall so he can help you determine if breast surgery with lift and augmentation is best for your goals.

Breast augmentation and lift can enhance your overall curves by adding volume and addressing sagging caused by significant weight loss, aging, or pregnancy. Dr. Marshall will be able to assess whether a breast lift alone will achieve your desired results, or if both a lift and implants are better to attain your goals for natural-looking breast enhancement.

Dr. Marshall will be able to determine whether a breast lift alone can achieve your best outcome or if a breast lift with implants is better to attain your goals. A combination breast surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. In most cases, the lift portion of the surgery is done first. Any excess skin is cut away, and the surrounding tissue is tightened. Dr. Marshall will discuss breast implant options with you before the surgery so the selected implant can be easily placed.

For some patients, the nipple and/or areola may be moved to match your new breast size and shape better. The recovery time for augmentation and lift will vary from patient to patient, but you will likely be strong enough to resume your normal activities within about a week. You will need to refrain from any exercise or strenuous activities for at least 2–6 weeks. Your breasts will begin to settle into their new, transformed position after several months.

What to Expect Following A Breast Lift with Implants

The recovery time for this procedure will vary from patient to patient. Still, you should be able to return to your everyday activities within 1-2 weeks. However, you do need to refrain from exercise and strenuous activities for at least 4–6 weeks. There may also be moderate inflammation after surgery, which may last for a month or so. Your breasts will settle into their new position in a few months, and at that time, you should be able to see your beautiful results.
