Combining Breast Lift with Augmentation: Pros & Cons
If you’re looking to enhance the size, shape, and position of your breasts, you may be wondering whether to choose a breast augmentation, a breast lift, or both together. For many women, combining these procedures is the most effective way to achieve natural, youthful, and proportionate results.
In this blog, Dr. Rakesh Tawar, a leading best plastic surgeon in Dehradun, explains the benefits and drawbacks of combining breast lift surgery with breast augmentation, and who is an ideal candidate for this approach.
Understanding the Two Procedures
Before diving into the pros and cons, it’s important to understand what each procedure does:
Breast Augmentation: Uses silicone or saline implants to increase breast size and enhance fullness.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple.
Combining them addresses both volume loss and sagging — common issues after weight loss, pregnancy, or aging.
Pros of Combining Breast Lift with Augmentation
1. Comprehensive Enhancement
By combining both procedures, you not only increase breast volume but also correct sagging and improve overall breast shape. This creates a more youthful, uplifted appearance.
2. Single Surgery & Recovery
One of the major advantages is convenience. You’ll undergo anesthesia and recovery only once, reducing downtime and costs compared to two separate surgeries.
3. Balanced & Natural-Looking Results
A lift alone may leave the breasts looking flat. Augmentation alone may not address droopiness. Together, they restore a fuller, perkier contour that looks proportionate to your body.
4. Customizable Outcomes
You can choose the type, size, and projection of implants along with the amount of lift needed. Dr. Rakesh Tawar personalizes every plan to your anatomy and goals.
Cons of Combining the Procedures
1. Increased Complexity
Performing both surgeries together requires advanced surgical skill. That’s why it’s essential to choose an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Rakesh Tawar, who has performed hundreds of successful combined breast procedures.
2. Longer Operative Time
Naturally, combining two procedures increases time under anesthesia. However, this risk is minimal when performed by a qualified surgeon.
3. Slightly Longer Recovery
You may experience more swelling, soreness, or temporary limitations in upper body movement during recovery compared to a single procedure.
Are You a Good Candidate?
You may benefit from a combined breast lift with augmentation if you:
Have lost breast volume due to pregnancy, aging, or weight loss

Want to increase breast size while correcting shape
Are in good physical health and a non-smoker
Have realistic expectations and stable weight
