What Is an Augmentation Mastopexy?
Augmentation mastopexy (also known as a breast lift with implants) combines two techniques:
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Lifts and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple-areola complex to a more youthful position.
- Breast Augmentation: Increases breast volume with silicone or saline implants for enhanced fullness, especially in the upper pole (upper part of the breast).
Together, this procedure addresses both volume loss and ptosis (sagging)—something neither surgery can achieve alone.
Types of Breast Lifts: Which One Is Right for You?
The ideal breast lift technique depends on the degree of sagging (ptosis), skin quality, and your desired aesthetic outcome. Dr. Jalil will recommend the most effective approach during your consultation based on your anatomy and goals.
Periareolar (Donut) Lift
- Incision: Around the edge of the areola
- Best for: Mild sagging, slight asymmetry, or when combined with augmentation
- Pros: Minimal scarring; can be well-hidden in the natural border of the areola
- Limitations: Limited lift—does not address significant drooping
Vertical (Lollipop) Lift
- Incision: Around the areola + vertically down to the breast crease
- Best for: Moderate sagging with good skin elasticity
- Pros: Allows for more lift and reshaping than periareolar; moderate scarring
- Limitations: Not ideal for significant skin excess or very low nipple position
Anchor (Inverted-T) Lift
- Incision: Around the areola + vertical line + along the breast crease
- Best for: Significant sagging, deflation, or post-pregnancy/weight loss changes
- Pros: Maximum lift and reshaping potential; can remove substantial skin
- Limitations: More visible scarring—but typically fades well over time
Crescent Lift
- Incision: Semi-circular along the upper half of the areola
- Best for: Very minor nipple elevation during augmentation
- Pros: Minimal scarring; sometimes used in implant-only procedures
- Limitations: Limited correction—not suitable for true breast lifting
Dr. Jalil’s Expertise Tip: The goal is always a natural breast shape and youthful nipple position—not just elevation. He selects the technique that balances your desired look with the least necessary scarring.

Choosing the Right Breast Implants for Your Lift
Breast augmentation with lift isn’t just about lifting the breasts — it’s also about choosing the right implant to enhance shape, volume, and overall proportions. Dr. Jalil will walk you through your options in detail during your consultation at Aspect Plastic Surgery in Toronto, but here’s a quick overview to get you started:
Silicone vs. Saline Implants
Most patients today choose silicone implants because they feel more natural and look more like real breast tissue. They’re soft to the touch, especially when placed under the muscle, and have less risk of visible rippling.
Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water. They’re a good option for younger patients (18+), or those who prefer a smaller incision, as they’re filled after insertion. However, they tend to feel firmer and may not suit very thin patients as well.
Implant Shape
You’ll choose between round and anatomical (teardrop) implants:
- Round implants give more fullness in the upper part of the breast and help create a lifted, youthful look. They’re the most commonly used in augmentation mastopexy and move naturally with your body.
- Teardrop implants mimic the slope of a natural breast. They can be a good choice for subtle volume enhancement but can rotate over time, which may affect the shape.
Implant Profile
The profile of the implant refers to how far it projects from your chest.
- Moderate profile implants give a balanced, natural look.
- High or ultra-high profile implants offer more projection and a fuller appearance, especially if you’re looking for more dramatic cleavage or have a narrower chest.
Implant Placement
Dr. Jalil typically places implants under the muscle (submuscular) for the most natural result and long-term support. This helps soften the transition between the chest and the implant, especially in patients with less natural breast tissue. In some cases, over-the-muscle (subglandular) placement may be considered, particularly for patients with more existing volume.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a strong candidate for augmentation mastopexy in Toronto if you:
- Have sagging breasts that appear deflated or flat
- Want more upper breast volume and youthful projection
- Have asymmetry or stretched skin after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
- Are in good general health and have stable weight
- Have realistic expectations and want long-lasting, natural-looking results
Dr. Jalil will perform a detailed assessment during your consultation to determine the best surgical plan for your anatomy and goals.

Augmentation Mastopexy (Breast Lift with Implants) FAQ
General Questions
What is an augmentation mastopexy?
Augmentation mastopexy is a combination procedure that lifts sagging breasts (mastopexy) while enhancing volume and shape using implants (augmentation). Dr. Jalil performs this procedure at Aspect Plastic Surgery in Toronto to restore youthful contour and upper pole fullness.
Why combine a breast lift with implants?
Breast lifts correct drooping, but don’t add volume. Implants alone increase size but won’t elevate sagging tissue. Combining both creates lifted, fuller, and more youthful-looking breasts.
Is this procedure common?
Yes, augmentation mastopexy is increasingly popular—especially after weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. Many women choose it to restore pre-pregnancy shape or achieve a more balanced silhouette.
What concerns does augmentation mastopexy address?
It targets deflation, sagging (ptosis), asymmetry, stretched areolas, and volume loss—especially in the upper portion of the breast.
How is it different from just a breast lift or augmentation?
A lift alone doesn’t restore fullness. Implants alone don’t lift tissue. The combo allows Dr. Jalil to elevate the breasts and enhance volume simultaneously for comprehensive results.
Is this surgery safe?
Yes—when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Jalil in a fully accredited Toronto facility. Patient safety and optimal outcomes are always the top priority.
Will this procedure increase my cup size?
Yes, depending on implant size. Some patients go up one to two cup sizes depending on their anatomy and goals.
Can I customize the size and shape of my implants?
Absolutely. During your consultation, Dr. Jalil will help you choose implants based on your body type, goals, and existing breast tissue.
Is general anesthesia used?
Yes. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia for your safety and comfort, administered by a certified anesthesiologist.
How long does the surgery take?
The procedure typically takes 2.5 to 4 hours, depending on complexity and whether additional techniques (e.g., internal bra support) are used.
Who is a Candidate?
Who is a good candidate for augmentation mastopexy?
Ideal candidates are women with sagging breasts and volume loss, who are in good health, have realistic expectations, and are done with childbearing.
Can I have this procedure after weight loss?
Yes. It’s common for patients who’ve lost weight to experience breast deflation and sagging. This procedure restores contour and fullness.
What about after pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Many women pursue augmentation mastopexy after childbirth to correct postpartum changes. You should wait at least 6 months post-breastfeeding.
Can I have this done if I’ve never had implants before?
Yes—augmentation mastopexy is suitable for both first-time implant patients and those with previous breast surgery.
Can this procedure fix breast asymmetry?
Yes. Dr. Jalil customizes each procedure to address asymmetry in shape, nipple position, and size using tailored lift techniques and implant selection.
Can I have this procedure with a BMI over 30?
Possibly. Dr. Jalil evaluates each patient individually. A BMI under 30 is ideal for healing, but slight variations may be considered with proper health screening.
How old do I need to be?
You should be at least 18 for saline implants and 22 for silicone implants. Most candidates are in their 20s–50s, depending on goals and life stage.
Can I have children after the procedure?
Yes, but future pregnancies can stretch the breasts again. If you plan to have children soon, it may be best to postpone surgery.
Will I still be able to breastfeed?
Most women can still breastfeed after augmentation mastopexy, but there is a small risk of reduced lactation depending on technique and anatomy.
What if I’ve had previous breast surgery?
You can still be a candidate. Dr. Jalil frequently performs augmentation mastopexy as a revision procedure to correct implant position, ptosis, or deflation.
Procedures & Techniques
What types of breast lifts are available?
Dr. Jalil offers several lift types based on your degree of sagging:
- Crescent Lift – Minimal lift with subtle reshaping
- Periareolar (Donut) Lift – For mild sagging
- Vertical (Lollipop) Lift – For moderate sagging
- Anchor (Inverted-T) Lift – For significant sagging and skin excess
How are the implants placed?
Implants are typically placed beneath the muscle (submuscular) for a natural look, but placement depends on your anatomy and lift type.
What kinds of implants can I choose from?
You may choose between:
- Silicone – Soft, natural feel
- Saline – Adjustable and filled after insertion
- Gummy Bear – Form-stable and teardrop-shaped
Do I have to get large implants?
No. Many patients choose small or moderate-sized implants for subtle volume and better proportion, especially when paired with a lift.
Can fat grafting be combined with this procedure?
Yes, fat transfer can refine shape or improve cleavage in combination with implants and lifting.
What incisions are used?
Incisions depend on the lift type. Dr. Jalil places them strategically to be concealed in natural contours or along the areola.
Will I need drains?
Drains may be used depending on your case, especially in more extensive lifts. They’re usually removed within 5–7 days.
What is an internal bra?
An internal bra involves using sutures or mesh to reinforce the breast pocket, providing long-term support and preventing implant sagging.
How do you choose the right implant size?
Dr. Jalil performs detailed measurements, imaging, and tries with sizers to find the ideal implant volume that aligns with your anatomy and goals.
Can I combine this with other procedures?
Yes—augmentation mastopexy is often combined with liposuction, tummy tuck, or part of a full Mommy Makeover at Aspect Plastic Surgery.
Recovery & Healing
What is the recovery time?
Most patients return to desk work in 1–2 weeks. Full healing and return to vigorous activity takes about 6–8 weeks.
How painful is recovery?
Mild to moderate discomfort is expected for a few days. Dr. Jalil prescribes medication and provides detailed care instructions for a smooth recovery.
Will I need help after surgery?
Yes. You’ll need assistance with daily tasks for the first few days, especially if you have young children.
When can I drive?
You may drive once you’re off pain medication and feel comfortable—usually within 7–10 days.
When can I return to exercise?
Light walking can resume after a few days. Strenuous activity and upper body exercises should wait 6–8 weeks.
Will I wear a surgical bra?
Yes. A supportive compression bra is worn for several weeks to reduce swelling and support healing.
How long does swelling last?
Swelling decreases significantly in the first month but can take 3–6 months to fully resolve.
How many follow-ups will I need?
Expect 3–5 follow-up appointments to monitor healing and ensure your results are progressing well.
What risks are associated with this procedure?
Risks include infection, poor scarring, asymmetry, implant complications, or changes in nipple sensation. Dr. Jalil discusses all risks during consultation.
What are signs of complications?
Redness, excessive swelling, increasing pain, or fluid buildup should be reported promptly. Dr. Jalil provides 24/7 post-op support.
Results
When will I see final results?
Initial results are visible right away, but final shape and symmetry take 3–6 months as swelling resolves and implants settle.
How long do results last?
With stable weight and good support, results can last 10–15 years or more. Natural aging and gravity will still affect the breasts over time.
Will I have scars?
Yes, but they fade significantly with proper care. Dr. Jalil uses advanced closure techniques and offers scar management protocols.
Can I expect natural-looking results?
Absolutely. Dr. Jalil emphasizes natural, proportionate outcomes that align with your body and aesthetic preferences.
Will the breasts feel natural?
Yes—especially with silicone or cohesive gel implants. As tissues heal and soften, most patients report a very natural look and feel.
Will implants prevent future sagging?
Implants do not prevent future sagging, but when combined with a lift and internal support, they can maintain shape longer.
What if I’m unhappy with the results?
While most patients are highly satisfied, revision surgery is possible if you’re unhappy with implant size, symmetry, or lift position. Dr. Jalil provides honest, supportive guidance to ensure your goals are ultimately met.
Will I lose nipple or breast sensation?
Some temporary numbness is common, especially around the areola. Sensation usually returns over time, though a small percentage of patients may experience permanent changes.
Can I still get mammograms after surgery?
Yes. Mammograms are still possible after breast augmentation and lift. Be sure to inform your imaging technician about your implants so they can use proper techniques.
