Breast Augmentation with a Lift in Orlando, FL

Restore Lift, Shape & Fullness

Serving Breast Augmentation With Lift Patients Throughout the Orlando Metro Area

Aging, pregnancy, and weight loss are common natural factors that cause the breasts to sag and lose volume over time. Many of our breast augmentation patients also want to lift and reshape sagging breasts, and many of our breast lift patients want to add volume with implants. That’s why breast augmentation with a breast lift is so popular at our practice. It combines two cosmetic procedures to enhance breast size, shape, and position at the same time.

As a surgeon with particular expertise in this area, Dr. Armando Soto delivers beautiful results for breast augmentation with lift patients from the Orlando metro region and across Florida at his Orlando practice. He commonly serves patients from communities such as Winter Park, Winter Garden, Kissimmee, and Sanford.

After having 3 kids, my breasts were left saggy and uneven. During the consultation, Dr. Soto made me feel completely comfortable, and he helped me set realistic goals for my breast augmentation with lift. I couldn’t be happier with the final result. It was exactly what I wanted.

What is a Breast Augmentation with Lift?

A breast augmentation with lift, also known as augmentation mastopexy, combines breast augmentation and breast lift surgery into a single procedure. The augmentation component restores or adds volume using breast implants or, in select cases, fat transfer, while the lift removes excess skin and reshapes and elevates sagging breast tissue. The nipple and areola can also be repositioned to better complement the newly shaped breast. By addressing both volume loss and sagging, Dr. Soto can create breasts that appear fuller, firmer, and more elevated while maintaining proportions that complement the rest of the body.

Combining My Breast Augmentation with Lift with Other Procedures

Breast augmentation with lift already combines two complementary breast procedures, but it may also be incorporated into a broader surgical plan when appropriate. Additional procedures can address areas of the body affected by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, aging, or other changes.

Breast augmentation is one of the most common procedures performed in plastic surgery. Patients can choose between silicone and saline implants. The type of implant chosen depends on the patient’s aesthetic goals and their examination.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Breast Augmentation with Lift?

Breast augmentation with lift is generally most appropriate when both volume loss and breast sagging contribute to the appearance of the breasts. Since the procedure combines two surgical techniques, determining whether you need both requires careful evaluation of your breast tissue, skin elasticity, nipple position, and aesthetic goals.

  • Your breasts have lost volume and begun to sag: This combination is common after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or aging.
  • Your nipples sit lower on the breast: Nipples that have descended or point downward may indicate that you need a breast lift in addition to augmentation.
  • You want to change both breast size and position: The combined surgery can increase fullness while simultaneously elevating and reshaping the breasts.
  • You are in good overall health: Ideal candidates should be healthy enough for elective surgery, maintain realistic expectations, and preferably be at or near a stable weight.

What Are the Benefits of a Breast Augmentation with Lift?

Breast volume and breast position are separate characteristics, so an implant alone may not create the desired result when significant sagging is present. Combining augmentation with a lift allows Dr. Soto to address several changes to the breasts during one operation. This can be particularly beneficial following pregnancy, breastfeeding, significant weight loss, or age-related changes.

  • Restore lost volume: Implants or fat transfer can replenish fullness that has diminished over time, after pregnancy, or with weight loss.
  • Lift sagging breasts: Excess skin is removed, and the remaining breast tissue is reshaped at a higher, more youthful position on the chest.
  • Improve breast shape: Combining added volume with tissue reshaping can create firmer, rounder, and better-defined breast contours.
  • Address multiple concerns at once: Patients who need both augmentation and lifting can accomplish both goals with one surgical plan and a shared recovery period.

How to Begin Your Breast Augmentation with Lift Journey

The decision to combine augmentation with a lift depends heavily on your existing breast anatomy. At your consultation with Dr. Soto in Orlando, the conversation will focus not only on how much volume you want to add, but also on how your skin and breast tissue need to be reshaped to support the result. This allows each component of surgery to be planned in relation to the other.

  • Identify the changes you want to make: Consider your preferences for breast volume, position, shape, cleavage, and overall proportions.
  • Have your breast anatomy evaluated: Dr. Soto will examine factors such as skin laxity, existing breast tissue, asymmetry, and nipple and areola position.
  • Discuss augmentation choices: Depending on your goals and anatomy, you can explore breast implants or, in select cases, fat transfer for additional volume.
  • Plan the lift and augmentation together: Dr. Soto can recommend an incision pattern, augmentation technique, and degree of lifting based on the changes needed to create your desired breast shape.

Surgical Technique

During this surgery, Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Soto removes excess, stretched skin and reshapes the tissues at an elevated position. He places breast implants (or, in some cases, fat) for increased volume and an overall rounder, firmer, and more youthful look. The details of your procedure depend on your preoperative examination, your goals, history, and Dr. Soto’s recommendations.

Breast Lift Incision Locations

All breast lift procedures require incisions to reposition the breast and nipple and remove excess skin. The ideal breast lift for you is safe and creates a beautiful shape to help you achieve your goals. Your results will depend on your starting anatomy and your goals for the final appearance of your breasts. Breast lift incisions are usually some combination of one or more component incisions:

  • An incision made along the borderline of the areola and the breast skin
  • An incision made vertically from the lower border of the areola down to the natural crease below the breast (similar to a lollipop)
  • An incision made along the natural crease below the breast

It is important to understand that not all incision patterns are appropriate for all patients. Each incision pattern alters the breast in a predictable, well-defined way. The choice of the wrong incision pattern introduces a much greater risk that you will be unhappy with the shape of your breasts. Conversely, choosing the right incision pattern for your starting anatomy and goals greatly increases the odds that you will be very pleased with your surgery outcome. This is where you will greatly benefit from Dr. Soto’s extensive training and experience in breast surgery.

Breast Augmentation with Lift Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Breast Augmentation with Lift Care

Recovery after breast augmentation with lift generally takes about four to six weeks, although healing continues beyond this initial period. Swelling, bruising, tightness, and soreness are expected during the early stages of recovery, and the breasts may initially appear higher or firmer than anticipated. These effects gradually improve as swelling subsides, the tissues relax, and the implants settle.

You will need to temporarily limit strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and activities that place pressure on the healing breasts. Dr. Soto will monitor your progress at postoperative appointments and let you know when you can safely resume each level of activity.

Breast shape will continue to refine over the following months, while incision lines gradually flatten and fade as the scars mature.

How Much Does a Breast Augmentation with Lift Cost in Orlando?

The cost of a breast augmentation with lift in Orlando varies because the procedure is customized to each patient. Factors such as the type of implant selected, the extent of lifting required, the surgical technique, anesthesia, operating room fees, and any additional procedures performed can influence the total price. After evaluating your breasts and discussing your goals, Dr. Soto can develop your surgical plan and provide a personalized cost estimate.

Financing options may also be available to make the cost of treatment more manageable.
