Benefits of a Breast Lift with Implants for Achieving a Youthful Look

As time passes, the natural aging process, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and breastfeeding can cause countless changes in a woman's body, with the loss of breast volume and sagging among the most frustrating and prominent. For women looking to restore a youthful, lifted breast shape while also increasing breast size, a breast lift with implants may be the ideal solution to tackle multiple concerns simultaneously.

At John L. Clayton, MD at Southridge Clinic Plastic Surgery in Riverton, UT, third-generation plastic surgeon and breast enhancement specialist Dr. John L. Clayton offers customized cosmetic breast surgeries — including breast augmentation plus breast lift — designed to meet each patient's unique aesthetic goals. By combining breast implants with a breast lift, patients can achieve a perkier, fuller, and more youthful silhouette in one simple step.

What does a breast lift with implants help with?

A breast lift with implants — or a breast augmentation plus lift — is a combination procedure that:

• Removes excess skin and lifts the breasts to correct sagging
• Adds volume with implants to enhance fullness and shape
• Improves breast symmetry and overall breast proportions
• Elevates the nipple position for a more youthful appearance

By addressing both sagging breasts and volume loss, this dual approach restores a firmer, more youthful breast contour that looks natural and proportionate to the body.

Should I get implants or a lift — or both?

While each woman's needs, anatomy, and goals are unique, a combination of breast augmentation plus lift is generally considered ideal for women who:

• Have sagging breasts due to aging, weight loss, or pregnancy
• Want to increase breast size while also lifting sagging tissue
• Have nipples that point downward or sit below the breast crease
• Desire a longer-lasting solution compared to implants alone
• Are in good overall health with realistic expectations

During your consultation, Dr. Clayton will assess your skin elasticity, breast volume, and aesthetic goals to determine if a breast lift with implants is right for you.

What are the reasons to combine a breast lift with implants?

Many women consider a breast lift or implants separately, but combining the two can provide comprehensive enhancement with long-lasting results. Some of the key benefits of adding a lift to breast augmentation surgery include:

• Increases fullness and projection for a youthful breast shape
• Corrects sagging and improves breast position
• Creates a more balanced and symmetrical appearance
• Reduces excess skin and tightens breast tissue
• Enhances cleavage and overall body proportions
• Provides a natural, long-lasting outcome

This combination procedure avoids the deflated or drooping look that may occur when implants are placed without lifting the breast tissue, particularly in women who already have moderate or pronounced skin laxity.

How long is recovery after breast augmentation with lift?

Patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for the first 1 – 2 weeks after a breast augmentation plus lift. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4 – 6 weeks or until cleared by Dr. Clayton. Along with Dr. Clayton, our team will provide personalized postoperative care instructions after breast augmentation and lift surgery, ensuring you feel supported throughout the recovery process.

Additionally, patients are given direct access to Dr. Clayton, who is available before and after surgery to answer any concerns they may have to give them the peace of mind they deserve.
