Breast Lift with Implants in Bellevue, WA
Augmentation-mastopexy in Bellevue combines a lift with implants for both shape and added fullness.
Quick answer
A breast lift with implants (augmentation-mastopexy) raises and reshapes the breasts while adding volume in a single surgery. It’s ideal when breasts are both sagging and deflated — the lift restores position and the implant restores upper-pole fullness.
Combining a lift and an implant is a precise balancing act: the lift tightens and repositions while the implant adds projection. Done together, the two procedures complement each other and require only one recovery. Dr. Day plans both elements as a unit so the final shape is harmonious rather than over- or under-filled.
This combination is one of the most common requests after pregnancy and weight loss, where volume loss and skin laxity occur together. Dr. Day will determine the safest staging and implant selection for your tissue.
Is Breast Lift with Implants right for you?
You may be a good candidate if:
- ✦
Your breasts are both sagging and have lost volume
- ✦
You want lift and added fullness in one surgery
- ✦
You are at a stable weight and a non-smoker
- ✦
You have realistic expectations about combined results
Recovery
Recovery is similar to a lift or augmentation alone — about a week off desk work and full activity by 4–6 weeks.
Good to Know
Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to combine a lift and implants?
Yes, when performed by an experienced surgeon. Dr. Day plans the two elements together and, in select cases, may stage them for the best, safest result.
Will the implant help the lift last?
A well-chosen implant supports upper-pole fullness; the lift handles position. Together they generally hold shape longer than a lift on deflated tissue alone.
