What is Breast Augmentation Mastopexy?

Breast augmentation mastopexy is a combination of two procedures: a breast lift (mastopexy) and breast enlargement using implants. It is designed for individuals who wish to correct sagging while also increasing breast volume.

At La Belle Forme, our experienced cosmetic surgeons tailor the surgery to your body and aesthetic goals. The lift repositions and reshapes the breast tissue, while implants restore volume and upper pole fullness. This procedure is ideal after pregnancy, weight loss, or natural ageing changes that affect breast shape and firmness.

We offer a full consultation to discuss the types of implants available, incision options, and expected outcomes — all with your safety and preferences in mind.

What Happens During Surgery?

Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation where your surgeon will examine your breasts, take measurements, and help you choose the implant type, size, and shape. You’ll also discuss lift techniques and scar placement.

On the day of surgery:

  • Performed under general anaesthetic
  • The surgeon lifts the breast tissue and removes excess skin
  • Implants are placed either above or below the muscle
  • The nipple may be repositioned to sit higher on the breast

You’ll return home the same day or stay overnight depending on your case.

Is This Procedure Right For Me?

This treatment may be suitable if you:

  • Have sagging breasts and want increased volume
  • Have lost shape after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
  • Desire fuller breasts with better lift and symmetry

It may not be suitable if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have unmanaged health concerns. All candidates must undergo a full medical assessment before surgery.

  • Lifted, fuller breasts with improved shape and position
  • More youthful and balanced body proportions
  • Customised results using the implants and lift techniques best suited to you
  • Performed by qualified surgeons in regulated surgical settings

As with any surgery, there are risks. These will be fully discussed during your consultation. They may include:

  • Scarring and changes in nipple sensation
  • Infection or implant-related complications
  • Asymmetry or dissatisfaction with shape/size
  • Rare risk of implant rupture or capsular contracture

We use premium implants and strict clinical protocols to reduce risks and prioritise your safety.

Post Lymphatic Drainage — Combined Procedure Aftercare

Breast enlargement with uplift is a combined procedure — implants are placed at the same time as reshaping and lifting the breast tissue. Because both augmentation and uplift involve more extensive tissue work than either procedure alone, post-surgical swelling, bruising and fluid retention can be more pronounced and longer-lasting during recovery.
Post Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is particularly beneficial following a combined breast enlargement and uplift procedure. Working along the lymphatic channels of the chest, axillary region and upper body, MLD helps the body clear the higher volume of post-surgical fluid associated with a combined procedure — reducing swelling across both the implant and the lift incision sites simultaneously.
  • Manages the higher post-surgical fluid load associated with a combined procedure
  • Reduces swelling and bruising across both the augmentation and uplift treatment areas
  • Supports healing of multiple incision sites during recovery
  • Helps the breast shape settle naturally and evenly following surgery
  • Improves comfort and supports a smoother, faster recovery overall
Given the combined nature of this procedure, we recommend beginning MLD within 48 to 72 hours where your surgeon approves. A slightly longer initial programme is often beneficial — your therapist will design a schedule around your specific recovery stage and your surgeon’s post-operative guidance.

FAQ's

Breast implants are not lifetime devices. They may last 10–15 years or longer. Routine monitoring and optional replacement may be required in the future.

Yes, but they fade over time. Scar placement varies by technique — commonly around the areola and vertically down the breast. Our team will provide full scar care advice.

Some individuals may retain breastfeeding ability, but it can be affected. This will be discussed thoroughly with your surgeon.

Initial results are visible immediately, but swelling and implant settling take 3–6 months. Scars will continue to fade for up to a year.
