At Monarch Plastic Surgery & Skin Renewal Center in Buckhead, GA, our board-certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Carmen Kavali and Dr. Teri Moak, specialize in delivering beautifully balanced results for women seeking both enhanced volume and improved breast position. A breast augmentation with lift—also known as augmentation mastopexy—combines the benefits of breast implants with a surgical lift, creating fuller, more youthful contours while addressing sagging.

This advanced procedure is ideal for women who want to restore their breast shape after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or natural aging. By performing augmentation and lift together, you can achieve a comprehensive transformation with a single surgery and recovery period.

Our patients consistently praise our expertise, attention to detail, and compassionate care. As one happy patient, Melissa R., shared:

“Dr. Kavali took the time to listen to my goals and made me feel completely confident in my decision. My results are better than I imagined, and I finally feel comfortable in my own skin again.”

What is Breast Augmentation with Lift?

Breast augmentation with lift is a dual cosmetic surgery that enhances both the size and position of your breasts in one procedure. It combines the placement of breast implants—either saline or silicone—with a breast lift (mastopexy), which removes excess skin and reshapes the breast tissue for a more youthful, elevated look.

Many women in Buckhead choose this procedure because it addresses multiple concerns at once: increasing fullness, improving symmetry, and correcting sagging caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or aging. Instead of undergoing two separate surgeries, you can achieve your desired size and shape in a single operation, reducing both downtime and cost.

During your consultation at Monarch Plastic Surgery & Skin Renewal Center, our surgeons will work with you to choose the right implant type, size, and profile, as well as determine the ideal lift technique to match your body proportions and personal goals.

Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation with Lift?

Women in Buckhead and the surrounding Atlanta area consider a breast augmentation with lift when they want to restore both volume and youthful positioning to their breasts. This combined procedure is often ideal if you:

• Have breasts that have lost shape or firmness due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or aging.
• Notice sagging (ptosis) that implants alone would not correct.
• Desire a fuller cup size along with a lifted, more youthful breast position.
• Have asymmetrical breasts in size or shape.
• Maintain a stable weight and are in good overall health.
• Are a non-smoker or willing to quit before and after surgery to promote healing.
• Have realistic expectations about what surgery can achieve.

Many of our patients are active, social women who want to feel confident both in and out of clothing—whether that means enjoying a pool day at one of Buckhead’s luxury residences, dressing for a night out in Atlanta, or simply feeling more comfortable in everyday attire. The best way to determine if this procedure is right for you is through a personalized consultation with Dr. Kavali or Dr. Moak.

Procedure Overview

A breast augmentation with lift is performed at our accredited surgical facility, ensuring the highest standards of safety and comfort. The surgery typically takes 2–4 hours, depending on the complexity of the lift and implant placement, and is done under general anesthesia.
Combining these steps in one surgery allows patients to enjoy enhanced size and shape with a single recovery period. Most Buckhead patients return home the same day under the care of a friend or family member.

Recovery Process

Recovery from a breast augmentation with lift is typically smooth when you follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions. At Monarch Plastic Surgery & Skin Renewal Center, we provide personalized aftercare plans to ensure your healing process is as comfortable and efficient as possible.

First Week

• Mild swelling, bruising, and soreness are normal during the first few days.
• You’ll wear a supportive surgical bra to protect your incisions and minimize swelling.
• Most patients can manage discomfort with prescribed medication or over-the-counter pain relievers.
• Light walking is encouraged to promote circulation, but avoid lifting or strenuous activity.

Weeks 2–4

• Stitches may be removed or dissolve on their own, depending on the type used.
• Swelling continues to improve, and the breasts begin settling into their new position.
• Many Buckhead patients feel comfortable returning to desk work within 1–2 weeks.
• Light exercise, such as walking, can be resumed, but avoid high-impact activities.

Weeks 6 and Beyond

• Most patients can resume all normal activities, including upper body workouts, by 6 weeks.
• Scars will continue to fade over the next several months with proper care.
• Final results are typically visible by 3–6 months post-surgery.

Our team remains available throughout your recovery to answer questions, monitor your progress, and ensure you’re healing beautifully. We also offer follow-up appointments in our Buckhead office so you can feel confident every step of the way.

Risks & Considerations

While breast augmentation with lift is a safe and effective procedure when performed by experienced, board-certified plastic surgeons, all surgeries carry some degree of risk. At Monarch Plastic Surgery & Skin Renewal Center, we take every precaution to minimize these risks and ensure optimal outcomes for our Buckhead patients.

Possible Risks Include:

• Bleeding or hematoma formation.
• Infection at the incision sites.
• Changes in nipple or breast sensation (temporary or permanent).
• Implant-related complications such as rupture, leakage, or capsular contracture.
• Poor wound healing or visible scarring.
• Asymmetry or irregular breast shape.
• Need for revision surgery in the future.

We believe in full transparency, so we will review all potential risks during your consultation and provide detailed pre- and post-operative instructions to help reduce complications. Choosing a highly qualified surgeon—like Dr. Kavali or Dr. Moak—significantly lowers these risks and ensures that you have the guidance and expertise needed for a safe, satisfying outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do the results of a breast augmentation with lift last?

Results can last many years, but the natural aging process, weight changes, and life events like pregnancy can affect breast shape over time. Implants themselves are long-lasting, but may eventually require replacement or revision.

Will I have visible scars?

Yes, all breast lift procedures require incisions, which result in scars. However, our surgeons use advanced techniques to place incisions strategically so they are as discreet as possible, and scars typically fade over time with proper care.

Can I combine a breast augmentation with lift with other procedures?

Yes, many Buckhead patients choose to combine their breast surgery with procedures like a tummy tuck or liposuction as part of a mommy makeover for a more comprehensive transformation.

How soon can I return to work?

Most patients feel ready to return to desk work within 1–2 weeks, though recovery time varies depending on the extent of the lift and implant placement. Strenuous activities should be avoided for about 6 weeks.

What types of implants can I choose from?

We offer both saline and silicone implants, each available in different shapes, sizes, and profiles. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the pros and cons of each option so you can make an informed choice.

Will the lift make my breasts smaller?

No. While a breast lift removes excess skin and reshapes tissue, the implant adds volume. Together, they create fuller, lifted breasts with improved contour.

Is the procedure painful?

Most patients describe the recovery as manageable, with discomfort that improves significantly in the first few days. Pain is typically controlled with prescribed medication and a supportive surgical bra.

How do I know if I need a lift with my augmentation?

If your nipples sit below the breast crease or your breasts appear deflated and sagging, a lift may be recommended in addition to implants for the best results. We’ll assess your needs during your consultation.

Can I breastfeed after surgery?

Many women can still breastfeed after a breast augmentation with lift, but it depends on the surgical technique used. If breastfeeding is important to you, please let us know during your consultation so we can plan accordingly.

You can request your consultation online or call our Buckhead office to speak directly with our patient care team. We’ll be happy to answer your questions and help you take the first step toward your transformation.
