What Breast Augmentation with Lift Treats

A breast augmentation with lift is ideal for patients who want to address multiple concerns typically treated by breast augmentation or a breast lift (mastopexy) alone, including:

  • Sagging (ptosis) with volume loss
  • Nipples that sit too low or point downward
  • Soft, deflated shape after pregnancy or weight loss
  • Lack of upper-pole fullness
  • Mild to moderate breast asymmetry

This combined procedure provides a more complete result than breast augmentation alone when breast laxity and sagging also need attention.

What Are The Benefits of a Breast Augmentation with Lift?

Patients choosing breast augmentation with lift often experience:

  • Fuller, natural breast volume thanks to breast augmentation
  • Improved breast position and shape from the lift
  • Enhanced cleavage and proportion
  • Better fit in bras and clothing
  • Increased confidence and body image
  • More symmetrical and youthful-looking breasts

Dr. Wirth tailors each breast augmentation and lift in Newport Beach to your specific anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Breast Implant Options, Incision Placement and Incision Patterns

Implant Types:

  • Silicone implants (natural feel)
  • Saline implants
  • Cohesive gel (“gummy bear”) implants

Implant Placement

Dr. Wirth determines the best placement for your breast augmentation — above or below the chest muscle — based on tissue characteristics and desired results.

Incision Patterns

  • Periareolar (around the areola)
  • Lollipop
  • Anchor


For breast augmentation, incisions may be made inframammary (beneath the breast fold) or periareolar. Incision choice balances optimal access with scar minimization.

The Breast Augmentation with Lift Procedure

  • Lift and reshape: Excess skin is removed, breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipple–areola complex is repositioned.
  • Add volume with augmentation: Implants are placed to restore or enhance size and shape.
  • Contour and close: Final contour refinement creates a balanced, lifted, and fuller breast appearance.

Recovery from Breast Augmentation with Lift

  • Mild swelling and discomfort initially
  • Rest and limited activity for the first 1–2 weeks
  • Return to most daily activities by 3–4 weeks
  • Full recovery (including exercise clearance) at ~4–6 weeks

Tips for healing:

  • Wear your surgical bra as instructed
  • Avoid lifting or strenuous activities
  • Arrange help for the first 48 hours
  • Maintain a healthy diet and hydration

Why choose Dr. Wirth for a breast augmentation with lift?

Your breasts are a defining aspect of your figure. Many women are very unhappy with the appearance of their breasts, as they feel they are too small, too saggy and droopy, or have lost the pert, plump look of youth. In these cases, a breast lift with augmentation can be performed. This custom procedure should be performed with meticulous surgical techniques, so the result appears youthful, natural, and as if it was created by nature.

Breast Augmentation with Lift FAQs:

What does breast augmentation with lift procedure cost?

Pricing varies based on your individual goals and treatment plan. Exact costs are discussed during your private consultation, where you’ll receive a personalized quote. Your estimate will include the surgeon’s fee, facility and anesthesia costs, and all necessary follow-up care.

Will the recovery be longer than with a breast augmentation?

You may have a few days more of recovery after this dual procedure. You should plan on seven to ten days of rest before returning to work or other activities.

Will the implant be placed above or beneath the muscle?

Only a private consultation will reveal what will work best for you. Generally, women with less natural breast tissue achieve a more attractive result by placing the implants below the muscle, as the muscles hide the form of the implant.

Can I choose my new cup size for my breast augmentation with lift?

Breast implants are measured in cc’s rather than cup size, but yes. You have a vision about the size of breasts you want, and Dr. Wirth will help you choose the size, shape, and projection that matches your idea for your body, along with helping you with issues related to the width of the implants to be appropriate for your ribcage and frame.
