Combination Augmentation and Mastopexy

Several scenarios exist for combination augmentation with mastopexy.  For most patients, the pre-operative concern is inadequate breast volume along with breast sagging, commonly seen after childbirth.  The combination of a breast implant (for volume) and a breast lift (for shaping) will restore a pleasing look, or "perkiness", of the breasts.  Much less frequently, a patient will have a severe difference in size of the breasts, where one breast needs more volume (with an implant) and the other breast needs less volume (with a reduction or mastopexy).  As with any breast enhancement procedure, the choice of saline or silicone implants is determined by patient and doctor, and by the needs of the procedure.
