A breast lift is performed as part of the breast reduction. This is seen even with Breast Reduction patients, who have an excess of breast tissue. Even patients with large breasts before having a breast lift, may still have relatively little or no upper pole breast tissue. A breast lift can move the nipple up the breast and the breast mound off the abdomen and back onto the chest, but Mastopexy alone does not fill the upper chest. This is especially apparent in the upper aspects of the chest. Breast Lift with Breast Augmentationīefore and After Photos (Augmentation Mastopexy)īreast Lifts alone do not add volume to the breast. When breast augmentation is performed with the nipple already low in the breast, the added volume can appear to push the nipple further down on the breast, and give a matronly appearance. Since the nipple is already in the correct position, adding volume with a breast implant supports the breast tissue and nipple upwards, and creates a youthful appearance of the breast. Pseudoptosis is “fake sagging” and describes a breast with the nipple located above the inframammary fold (IMF) and the majority of the breast tissue located below the IMF. It can provide additional volume and support for a breast with pseudoptosis. While breast augmentation increases the breasts’ volume, breast lifts can address the breasts’ shape, and the position of the nipple.ĭespite what you may read, breast augmentation does not lift the breast. In our San Francisco Bay Area, Walnut Creek Plastic Surgery office, the combination of breast augmentation and breast lift can enhance both the breast volume and the breast shape. Breast augmentation and breast lifts are complimentary procedures.
