Many women begin to notice sagging breasts or changes in breast volume due to aging, weight changes, or pregnancy. When breast tissue stretches and droops, it can affect everything from your body shape to how you feel in your clothes. A breast lift with implants in Phoenix is a customized treatment plan designed to restore fullness, reshape drooping breasts, and achieve a natural, lifted contour. This page will walk you through everything you need to know about the procedure, from candidacy and cost to results and recovery.
Also known as augmentation mastopexy, a breast lift with implants combines two procedures: a breast lift surgery (to remove excess breast skin and reposition breast tissue) and breast augmentation (to add volume with saline implants or silicone implants). The breast lift component corrects sagging breasts by reshaping and elevating the tissue, while the implants enhance upper fullness, balance, and cleavage.
This surgical procedure is ideal for women looking to correct volume loss and ptosis in one outpatient procedure. It’s performed under general anesthesia and tailored to match your goals and anatomy, including implant placement (above or below the pectoral muscle), size, and incision type (often a lollipop or anchor incision, depending on the degree of lift needed).
Beyond aesthetics, this procedure is about restoring a sense of ownership and comfort in your own skin. Many women pursue this cosmetic surgery after breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or the natural aging process changes their breasts.
Benefits include:
This breast rejuvenation surgery is best suited for women who are done breastfeeding and want to improve the position, shape, and volume of their breasts. You should be in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and understand what the procedure can and can’t do.
Common concerns this procedure addresses
Some health conditions, smoking, or poor blood circulation may affect candidacy. A detailed consultation with one of our plastic surgeons ensures we develop the safest and most effective surgical plan for you.
Every treatment plan begins with a personalized consultation. Our board-certified plastic surgery team in Phoenix evaluates your anatomy, discusses goals, and reviews your history. We’ll talk about implant size, type, and implant placement, and whether your case involves revision surgery, breast reconstruction, or other breast procedures.
You’ll receive detailed pre-operative instructions, which may include undergoing lab tests and medical clearance, a temporary pause of certain medications or supplements, avoiding smoking or underwire bras that could affect proper healing, and planning for follow-up appointments and post-op support.
The surgical procedure typically takes two to four hours and is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. After making the incisions, the surgeon reshapes and lifts the breast tissue, often removing excess skin and repositioning the nipples. The breast implants are placed either above or below the chest muscle, depending on the chosen surgical plan.
Techniques such as auto augmentation (using your own tissue to enhance volume) may also be used in select cases. After surgery, patients are fitted with a surgical bra or compression garment to support healing.
Initial healing takes one to two weeks. During this time, you’ll be advised to rest, avoid lifting, and sleep on your back. Swelling, bruising, and changes in nipple sensation are normal early on. The healing process continues over several months as surgical scars mature and breasts heal.
Minimize swelling by following post-op instructions closely: wear your compression garment, attend all follow-up appointments, and avoid underwire bras until cleared. We provide scar-care protocols to minimize scarring and enhance results.
Your results (lifted breasts, improved contour, and balanced volume) become more visible as implants settle and tissues adapt. With good support and lifestyle habits, results can last many years.
