Breast Augmentation With Lift – Fort Worth, TX
The breast augmentation with lift in Fort Worth, Texas, is a transformative procedure combining breast implants with a breast lift to simultaneously improve the size, shape, and orientation of a woman’s chest. At Fort Worth Plastic Surgery, board-certified surgeons Robert G. Anderson and Dr. Tony Daniels and board-certified general surgeon Dr. Dustin Derrick perform this treatment at our AAAASF-accredited surgical center, ensuring optimal results in a safe environment.
Why Is a Breast Lift Sometimes Combined With a Breast Augmentation?
In some cases, a breast augmentation will produce the best results when combined with a breast lift. Implants reduce loose, sagging skin on the breasts, but a breast lift eliminates any remaining excess skin for a more youthful appearance. A breast lift also elevates the position of the breasts for a perkier bust line that allows for a larger size.
Is a Breast Augmentation With Lift Right For Me?
Ideal candidates for this combination approach include individuals in good health seeking to address sagging and volume loss for a fuller, more youthful look. Patients with overly large or asymmetrical areolas may also benefit from the procedure, as the areola can be resized and repositioned. Women planning future pregnancies or those who are not in optimal health may be advised to postpone surgery.
The Procedure
After the administration of general anesthesia, Dr. Anderson, Dr. Daniels, or Dr. Derrick will create an incision using one of the following patterns:
- Around the areola
- Circumareolar with a vertical incision to the breast fold
- Full circumareolar with vertical and horizontal incisions (inverted “T” or anchor)
Your surgeon will then remove the excess skin on and around the breast to reshape it. The underlying muscle and tissue are pulled tight and lifted so that the breast sits in a higher position. In addition, the nipple is usually repositioned, and the areola is surgically reduced.
If implants are placed, they are typically positioned below the pectoralis muscle, acting as an internal bra for longer-lasting results. Depending on the patient’s needs, a breast augmentation with lift can be completed in a single day of surgery or in stages.
The Recovery Process
Because this is a combination surgery, recovery time can last a bit longer than a lift or augmentation alone. Most patients return to work within a few short days, but you should refrain from exercise and aerobic activities for at least 2–4 weeks or until your surgeon has cleared you to resume. It will take a few months for the breasts to fully settle into their new position and assume a soft, natural look.

Each patient’s surgery time is slightly different depending on individual anatomy and required results. On average, a breast augmentation with lift surgery will take about an hour.
Can I breastfeed after a breast augmentation with lift?
