Breast lift is one of the most effective procedures for rejuvenating the appearance of sagging breasts. It elevates the breast tissue, tightens stretched skin, and repositions the nipple for a more youthful contour. However, breast lift alone does not increase volume or fullness. That’s why many women choose to combine their breast lift with breast augmentation for more comprehensive enhancement.
As a board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience in cosmetic breast surgery, Dr. David Funt offers highly customized procedures that reflect the needs and goals of each patient. Funt Aesthetics in Long Island is known for delivering natural-looking, elegant results.
What Breast Lift Alone Can and Can’t Do
Breast lift (mastopexy) is ideal for women with sagging due to aging, weight loss, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. It reshapes the breast by removing excess skin and tightening the tissue. While this improves breast position and contour, it doesn’t restore volume that may have been lost over time.
If you are seeking rounder, fuller breasts or a more noticeable cleavage line, you may not be fully satisfied with breast lift alone. However, implants can play a valuable role in restoring or enhancing volume.
Why Consider Adding Implants?
Combining breast implants with breast lift offers multiple benefits, including:
- Improved fullness and shape: Implants restore lost volume, especially in the upper breast, where natural tissue tends to flatten with age.
- Longer-lasting lift results: The added structure from the implant can support the newly lifted breast shape, contributing to better long-term results.
- Customizable outcomes: Implants come in various sizes, shapes, and profiles, allowing patients to fine-tune the look they want — from subtle enhancement to a more dramatic transformation.
- Balanced proportions: For women whose breasts have deflated or become asymmetrical, implants can create a more proportionate and harmonious silhouette.
Is Breast Lift with Implants Right for You?
Dr. Funt evaluates each patient individually to determine whether implants will enhance their breast lift results. Ideal candidates are women who are generally healthy, maintain a stable weight, and want both a lifted and fuller breast appearance.
You may worry that adding implants will make your breasts look artificial. With Dr. Funt’s expert technique and keen aesthetic judgment, the results are consistently soft, natural, and tailored to the patient’s frame.
