Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Lift with Implants?
The best candidates for breast lift with implants have realistic expectations for the results of the procedure and an understanding of the risks.

If you plan to have more children after your breast surgery, discuss that during your consultation with Dr. Loizides.
You may be a good candidate for breast lift with implants if you are in good health, at a stable weight, and are bothered by:
- Sagging, deflated, or pendulous breasts,
- Small breasts or breasts that are smaller than you would like
- Asymmetrical breasts (breasts that are not the same size)
- Misshapen breasts

How Is Breast Lift with Implants Performed?
A combined breast lift with implants procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia.
Dr. Loizides will reshape your breasts, removing excess skin and tissue to correct sagging. He may reposition your nipples higher on your breast and reduce the size of your areolas. He will then form pockets for the implants and insert them, holding them in place and securing the new shape of your breasts using an internal bra suture technique. The external incisions are then closed with fine sutures, and your breasts covered with a sterile dressing and your compression bra.
The combined breast augmentation and breast lift surgery usually takes two to three hours. After the procedure is complete and you are fully alert, you will be able to go home. You should arrange ahead of time to have a friend or family member drive you home when you are discharged and stay with you for the first night.

FAQ
Breast Lift with Implants
Results from the procedure last about 10 to 15 years, although this varies based on factors like lifestyle, implant type, and aging. While breast implants may eventually need replacement, the lifting effects are long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight and avoid future pregnancies. Dr. Loizides employs advanced surgical techniques, including internal bra suture methods, to maximize the longevity of your breast enhancement results.
Breast augmentation adds volume using implants but does not address sagging breasts or the position of the nipple-areolar complex. A breast lift with implants combines two procedures to increase breast size while elevating drooping breasts and repositioning nipples to an upward curve. This approach is ideal for women needing volume restoration and correction of breast ptosis.
Many mothers successfully breastfeed after a breast lift with implants. However, the ability depends on surgical technique and incision placement. Dr. Loizides will discuss your desire for future breastfeeding during your consultation to determine the best surgical approach that preserves milk ducts and nipple sensation. However, breast surgery can affect milk production.
The optimal implant size for a breast lift with implants depends on your body frame, chest measurements, existing breast tissue, and aesthetic goals. Most women choose implants ranging from 250cc to 400cc when combining procedures. Dr. Loizides will help you select the appropriate implant volume for a proportionate result.
The cost for breast lift with implants varies based on surgical complexity, implant type, anesthesia, and facility costs. Combined procedures are more cost-effective than having surgeries separately because of the one-time cost for facility and anesthesia. Dr. Loizides provides detailed pricing information during your consultation, including all associated costs for this transformative procedure.
Most women return to work 1 to 2 weeks after surgery, depending on the physical demands of their job. Women with physically demanding work may need additional recovery time. Low-impact activities can typically resume after two weeks, while strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks.
Scarring is inevitable with any surgery, but Dr. Loizides employs meticulous surgical techniques and closes with fine sutures to minimize scar visibility. Incisions are strategically placed to be concealed by bras and swimwear, and scars typically fade significantly over 12 to 18 months. Following proper post-surgery care, including scar treatment options help optimize healing and reduce scar appearance.
Dr. Loizides can use different implant sizes for each breast if needed and adjusts the amount of tissue removed and skin tightening on each side to create balanced, symmetrical results. This customized approach addresses both size discrepancies and differences in breast shape or position.
During your recovery from augmentation mastopexy, you must wear a compression bra continuously, avoid lifting objects over 10 pounds, refrain from raising your arms above shoulder level initially, and sleep on your back elevated. You should avoid strenuous exercise, chest workouts, and activities that cause breast movement for 4 to 6 weeks. Dr. Loizides provides comprehensive recovery guidelines at your follow-up appointments to ensure optimal healing.
While you’ll notice immediate improvement after augmentation mastopexy, your final results will become apparent after swelling subsides and implants settle into position, typically within 3 to 6 months. During the first weeks, breasts may appear high and firm, but they gradually soften and take on a more natural shape as tissues heal. Dr. Loizides monitors your progress through follow-up appointments to ensure you’re healing properly and achieving the desired results.
