13 Dec Breast Lift with Augmentation: When Both Procedures Are Needed Together

Breast changes over time are normal – but for many women, they can feel emotionally significant. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations and natural aging can all alter the volume, contour and position of the breasts. Some women lose upper pole fullness, others notice increased ptosis (sagging), and many experience both simultaneously.

In these cases, a breast lift alone may improve breast position, but may not restore volume. Similarly, implants alone may add volume, but may not correct sagging. This is why a combined breast lift with augmentation is often the most effective approach.

At Forest Hill Plastic Surgery Clinic in Toronto, Dr. David Boudana performs this combination procedure for patients from across Toronto, the GTA, North York, Thornhill, Richmond Hill and Markham – tailoring each surgical plan to anatomy and desired outcome.

Why combine a lift with implants?

A breast lift (mastopexy) repositions the tissue and raises the nipple to a more aesthetic location on the breast. It reshapes and tightens the existing tissue.

An augmentation adds volume where it has been lost – with implants selected for shape, size and projection to match the patient’s goals.

Together, they address both:

• position (lift)
• volume and contour (implant)

This combination is ideal for women who want a fuller, more lifted look – not just “back to baseline,” but restored confidence with natural balance.

Key benefits of a lift + augmentation approach

• restores upper pole roundness
• improves projection
• corrects asymmetry
• creates a more youthful silhouette
• addresses both shape and fullness in one surgery
• avoids the “flat” look after lift-only surgery

Dr. Boudana considers implant placement, implant type (including cohesive silicone gel), volume and the degree of lift required – customizing every element to ensure proportion, softness and harmony.

The end goal

This procedure is not about exaggeration. It is about restoring your body to a shape that feels aligned with how you see yourself – confident, balanced and feminine.
