What it is
Breast augmentation with breast lift, also called augmentation-mastopexy, combines two procedures. An implant or fat restores volume and upper-pole fullness, while a lift raises and reshapes the breast and repositions the nipple. It is chosen by patients who have both lost volume and developed sagging, a common combination after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight change.
Doing both together addresses size and position in a single recovery. The implant adds the fullness a lift alone cannot provide, while the lift corrects the sagging that an implant alone cannot. Incision patterns follow the lift component, from around the areola to a vertical or anchor shape.
It is a more complex procedure than either alone, requiring careful planning so volume and position work together. The goal is a fuller, lifted, natural-looking breast. All surgery carries risks, and results vary.
What it can improve
- Sagging combined with lost volume
- A deflated or empty upper pole
- A low or downward-pointing nipple position
- Stretched skin after pregnancy or weight change
- Overall shape, fullness, and proportion
It cannot eliminate scars, cannot guarantee a precise cup size, and cannot stop future aging or sagging. Skin quality and stretch marks are not corrected by the implant.
Before the procedure
You will receive detailed instructions on medication, supplements, smoking, alcohol, fasting, and tests. Implant choice and the lift pattern are planned together, balancing the volume you want with the degree of lift your tissue needs.
During the procedure
The lift removes excess skin and reshapes the breast while the implant is placed to restore volume and upper-pole fullness. The nipple is repositioned to a natural height, and incisions follow the agreed lift pattern.
After the procedure
Swelling, bruising, and tightness are normal and ease over the first weeks. A support bra is worn as advised, and heavier activity is avoided during initial healing. The breast settles into a softer, more natural shape as swelling resolves and scars mature over months.
Results: what it can and cannot achieve
A fuller, lifted, naturally shaped breast is achievable in a single recovery. The procedure cannot remove scars, cannot guarantee an exact size, and does not remove the future need to address the implant, since implants are not lifetime devices.
Possible risks and complications
Augmentation-mastopexy combines the risks of both procedures. Possible risks include:
- Bleeding or hematoma
- Infection
- Delayed wound healing
- Changes in nipple or skin sensation
- Capsular contracture or implant malposition
- Visible or widened scars
- Asymmetry or recurrence of sagging
- Implant rupture over time and need for future surgery
Combining procedures can carry a slightly higher revision rate than either alone. Smoking and impaired circulation raise healing risks, so smoking cessation is essential.
Who it suits
This combined procedure may suit patients with both sagging and volume loss. It is especially suitable for patients who:
- Have lost volume and also developed sagging
- Want both fullness and a lifted position
- Prefer to address both concerns in one recovery
- Accept the scars involved in a lift
- Are in good general health with realistic expectations and do not smoke or can stop before and after surgery
It may not suit patients with sagging or volume loss alone, who may need only one procedure, or those planning pregnancy that could change the result. Your surgeon assesses whether a combined or staged approach suits you.
Why Skulpturkliniken
Breast surgery by Dr. Matteo Amoroso
Augmentation-mastopexy at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon whose anatomical precision allows volume and lift to be planned as one balanced result.
Natural, balanced results
Dr. Amoroso plans the implant and lift together so fullness and position complement each other, achieving a natural, lifted shape rather than an over-projected or tight result.
Reconstructive precision meets aesthetic judgment
From the first consultation, Dr. Amoroso explains how the two components interact, the scar pattern, and whether a combined or staged plan is safest for your tissue and goals.
Individualized assessment
Every combined procedure begins with a detailed assessment. We evaluate:
Degree of sagging and nipple position
Volume loss and desired fullness
Skin quality and elasticity
Implant size, profile, and placement
Symmetry between sides
Whether a combined or staged approach suits you
What Does Surgery Cost?
The costs of treatments are listed in the price section and often don't change. However, the price depends on the extent of the procedure, the technique used, anesthesia, surgical time, and whether additional procedures are combined.
Every operation is individually planned, and the final price is discussed clearly during consultation after Dr. Matteo Amoroso has assessed your anatomy, goals, and surgical needs.
All surgical prices include one of the most extensive, transparent, and safe warranty programs. The price is designed to be comprehensive and includes everything related to the operation, from consultation and surgical planning to the procedure itself, compression garment when applicable, direct access to Dr. Matteo Amoroso and the medical team, and unlimited follow-up controls during the first year.
