Breast Augmentation with Lift
A surgical procedure to lift and reshape sagging breasts, with or without implants.
What is a Breast Augmentation with Lift?
A Breast Augmentation with Lift, also known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure aimed at repositioning and firming the breasts, especially when they are sagging or have lost firmness or volume. This surgery is recommended for women who wish to restore the youthfulness and harmony of their breast contour, whether due to natural factors like aging or changes resulting from pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations.
Over the years, the loss of skin elasticity and natural aging can cause breasts to sit lower, sag, or have a “deflated” appearance. In this context, a Breast Augmentation with Lift emerges as an effective solution because, in addition to improving aesthetics, it also boosts patients’ self-esteem. After all, feeling good about your own body is fundamental to emotional and social well-being.
The procedure consists of removing excess skin, repositioning the breast to the desired position, and often adjusting the volume with breast implants when necessary. Thus, the final result is a younger, firmer, and more natural appearance that respects the body’s proportions. Furthermore, the surgery is performed using modern and safe techniques, always prioritizing the patient’s health and comfort.

Breast Augmentation with Lift Procedures
A Breast Augmentation with Lift can be performed using different techniques, depending on the degree of breast sagging and the characteristics of each patient. Learn about the main options:
Peri-Areolar (Lift Around the Areola)
This method is indicated for cases of mild to moderate sagging, where the breast has slight to moderate ptosis. The technique consists of making an incision around the areola, allowing for precise repositioning of the breast tissue. Thus, the scar is located around the areola, which favours a more discreet result. This technique is efficient because it maintains the sensitivity of the areola and preserves most of the skin, in addition to being less invasive.
Vertical (“L” or Vertical “T” Lift)
Indicated for cases of moderate to severe ptosis, this technique involves two incisions: one around the areola and another vertical one that extends to the lower part of the breast. This makes it possible to remove excess skin and reposition the breast to be higher and firmer. This technique offers more lasting results and a scar that, although visible, tends to become less noticeable over time due to its strategic location.
Anchor Lift
The most comprehensive technique, indicated for cases of severe ptosis, involves three incisions: around the areola, vertically, and on the lower part of the breast, forming an anchor shape. This approach allows for greater skin removal and more precise repositioning, especially in cases of significant breast sagging. Although it leaves more visible scars initially, the result is highly satisfactory, with a higher, firmer, and more natural-looking breast.
