Combining Breast Lift and Augmentation: Is It Right for You?

By The Plastics Clinic + Spa

Sagging breasts and loss of fullness are common concerns, especially after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. A single procedure may not always deliver the results you’re looking for, but combining a breast lift with implants can restore breast volume, improve shape, and lift the tissue for a more youthful, natural look. At Jerry Chidester, MD in South Jordan, UT, serving Draper and Greater Salt Lake City, Dr. Jerry Chidester offers breast augmentation with lift for women who want to lift and enhance breasts in one procedure. 

Is a breast lift with implants right for me? 

Many women ask this question when considering cosmetic breast surgery. A breast lift alone repositions sagging breasts but doesn’t add volume. Implants restore fullness but won’t correct drooping. When combined, the procedure creates a natural-looking breast lift with implants that addresses both concerns at once, giving balanced, youthful contours.

What is the difference between a breast lift vs augmentation, vs both? 

Knowing the differences helps you make the right choice. A lift reshapes breasts, an augmentation restores volume, and a combined procedure does both. Each option comes down to your goals, but for many, the combined surgery achieves the most natural-looking outcome possible. Dr. Chidester works closely with each patient to customize the approach. 

How long do breast lift with implant results last? 

When it comes to a breast lift with implants, results are designed to be long-lasting, often a decade or more. While the natural aging process continues, maintaining healthy habits, keeping a steady weight, and wearing supportive bras can help preserve your outcome. Many women continue to enjoy their enhanced breast shape and improved contours for years after surgery. 

What can I expect during breast lift and augmentation recovery time? 

Recovery is a key part of the process. The breast lift and augmentation recovery time typically spans several weeks. Swelling and soreness are normal early on, but most women return to work within one to two weeks. Exercise and heavy lifting are gradually resumed over time. With guidance from Dr. Chidester’s team, recovery is structured and supportive, ensuring comfort and safety. 

What are the benefits of combining breast lift and augmentation? 

The benefits of combining breast lift and augmentation go beyond cosmetic improvement. This procedure can:  

By choosing to lift and enhance breasts in one procedure, you can maximize results and minimize downtime compared to scheduling separate surgeries.
