Augmentation Mastopexy Surgery
Augmentation mastopexy is one of the most transformative procedures in aesthetic surgery and one of the most technically demanding. It combines a breast lift with implant placement in a single surgical session, addressing both lost volume and breast ptosis at the same time. In Trusta Clinic, our board-certified surgeons perform augmentation mastopexy surgery with precision, artistry, and a deep commitment to each patient’s individual goals.
Whether your concerns stem from pregnancy, significant weight loss, or the natural process of aging, this procedure offers a complete solution not a partial fix. Recovery is typically managed with close follow-up care, allowing patients to return to daily routines gradually while results continue to refine over the following weeks and months.
What Is Augmentation Mastopexy?
Augmentation mastopexy also called a breast lift with augmentation is a dual-action cosmetic surgery that lifts and reshapes sagging breast tissue while simultaneously adding volume through silicone or saline implants. Unlike a standalone breast lift, which corrects position without changing size, or breast augmentation, which adds volume without correcting droop, mastopexy with augmentation techniques addresses both concerns in one procedure. The result: a fuller, firmer, more symmetrical breast profile that looks natural and feels proportionate to your body.
Procedure | Lifts Breast | Adds Volume | Corrects Ptosis | Single Session |
Breast Lift Only | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
Breast Augmentation Only | No | Yes | No | Yes |
Augmentation Mastopexy | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |

How Does Augmentation Mastopexy Work?
The procedure works by addressing the two core issues tissue position and breast volume through carefully planned surgical techniques.our surgeon begins by designing an incision pattern suited to your degree of ptosis and aesthetic goals. The breast tissue is then lifted and reshaped, excess skin is removed, and the nipple-areola complex is repositioned to a more youthful height.
Simultaneously, a breast implant chosen together with you during consultation is placed either beneath the chest muscle (submuscular) or directly behind the breast tissue (subglandular). The combination of lift and augmentation produces a result that neither procedure could achieve on its own.
Why Is the Combination Technically Demanding?
Because the two procedures work in opposite directions an implant pushes the skin outward while a lift tightens and removes it achieving harmony requires significant surgical expertise. In Trusta Clinic, our surgeons plan each case individually, ensuring the implant size, incision placement, and lift technique work together rather than against each other.

Ideal Candidates for Augmentation Mastopexy
Not every patient is a candidate for augmentation mastopexy. A thorough consultation is essential to confirm suitability. Generally, good candidates include:
- Women who have experienced breast sagging (ptosis) following pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
- Patients who want to restore volume lost after weight fluctuation
- Those whose breasts have lost firmness and position due to ageing
- Women with asymmetrical breasts seeking correction alongside a lift
- Non-smokers, or patients willing to quit smoking at least six weeks before surgery
- Adults in good overall physical health, with realistic expectations
Patients who are planning future pregnancies or significant weight loss are typically advised to postpone the procedure, as these changes can alter results.
Augmentation Mastopexy Surgery Procedure Step-by-Step
- Consultation and surgical planning: our surgeon assesses breast anatomy, degree of ptosis, skin quality, and your aesthetic goals. Implant type, size, and placement are agreed upon at this stage.
- Anaesthesia: The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia for your comfort and safety.
- Lift and implant placement: Incisions are made (typically anchor-shaped, vertical, or periareolar depending on ptosis severity). Breast tissue is lifted, excess skin removed, and the nipple repositioned. The chosen implant is then placed.
- Closure and dressing: Incisions are carefully sutured and dressed. A supportive surgical bra is fitted before you leave the theatre.
What to Expect After Augmentation Mastopexy
Recovery from augmentation mastopexy surgery follows a structured timeline. Most patients find the first week the most demanding, with discomfort, swelling, and limited mobility all of which are entirely normal.
Recovery Stage | Timeline | What to Expect |
Immediate post-op | Days 1–3 | Swelling, tightness, mild pain — managed with prescribed medication |
Early recovery | Week 1–2 | Rest at home; avoid lifting; wear surgical bra at all times |
Mid recovery | Weeks 3–4 | Swelling reduces; light activity resumes; follow-up appointments |
Return to work | 2–4 weeks | Office roles: 2 weeks. Physical jobs: 4–6 weeks |
Exercise resumption | 6 weeks+ | Light cardio at 4–5 weeks; full gym at 6 weeks with surgeon clearance |
Final results visible | 3–6 months | Implants settle; scars fade; full outcome becomes apparent |
Our surgeon will provide a personalized post-operative protocol. Following these instructions closely is the most important factor in achieving your best possible result.
Areas That Can Be Treated With Augmentation Mastopexy Surgery
Augmentation mastopexy surgery addresses several interconnected concerns across the breast and chest area:
- Breast volume: restored through implant placement
- Breast position: corrected by lifting ptotic tissue
- Nipple-areola complex: repositioned to a natural, forward-facing height
- Areola size: reduced if overstretched
- Breast symmetry: adjusted so both sides match in size, shape, and position
- Skin laxity: excess skin removed to restore a tighter, firmer contour
If you are also considering non-surgical options to complement your results, our team can discuss treatments such as Morpheus8 or Ultherapy for surrounding skin tightening.
Is Augmentation Mastopexy Surgery Safe?
Augmentation mastopexy is a well-established surgical procedure with a strong safety record when performed by qualified surgeons in accredited facilities. In Trusta Clinic, all procedures take place in DHA-licensed operating theatres with full anaesthetic support and post-operative monitoring.
What Are the Risks?
As with any surgery, there are inherent risks. These include:
- Temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort
- Changes in nipple or breast sensation (usually temporary)
- Scarring managed with aftercare and gradually fades
- Implant-related risks: capsular contracture, rupture (rare with high-quality implants)
- Asymmetry requiring revision (uncommon with experienced surgeons)
Our surgeon will discuss each risk in detail during your consultation, and pre-operative screening significantly reduces the likelihood of complications. For further reading on breast surgery safety standards, the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) publishes guidelines that Trusta Clinic’s surgeons adhere to.
