A breast lift can restore a more youthful shape and position to the breasts. By addressing sagging and reshaping the tissue, this procedure helps many patients regain confidence and comfortability in their body. For some, however, a breast lift alone does not fully achieve the look or comfort they are seeking. That’s where pairing a breast lift with another procedure can create more comprehensive results.

Below are some of the most common procedures patients choose to pair with a breast lift and how these combinations can be effective.


Breast Lift and Augmentation

One of the most common pairings is a breast lift with augmentation. While a lift reshapes and raises the breasts, implants or fat transfer restore volume that may have been lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight changes.

This combination is ideal for patients who want to correct both sagging and deflation at the same time. By lifting the breasts and enhancing fullness, the result is a firmer, more youthful contour that aligns with body proportions.

Breast Lift and Breast Reduction

A breast lift is also frequently performed alongside breast reduction. In these cases, the goal is to remove excess weight and volume while also reshaping and elevating the breasts.

This pairing offers both functional and cosmetic benefits: relief from back, shoulder, or neck pain caused by overly large breasts, along with improved proportions and a rejuvenated shape. For patients seeking comfort as well as aesthetics, this combination can be life-changing.

Breast Lift and Tummy Tuck

Many women experience changes in both the breasts and abdomen after pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging. Pairing a breast lift with a tummy tuck is a popular choice, often referred to as part of a “Mommy Makeover.”

Together, these surgeries address two key areas: a flatter, more toned abdomen and breasts that are lifted and reshaped. The result is a more complete body contour that restores balance and confidence.

Breast Lift and Liposuction

Liposuction is another procedure that can be paired with a breast lift to create a more refined result. By targeting nearby areas such as the upper abdomen, flanks, or bra roll, liposuction enhances the overall silhouette and complements the improvements made by the lift.

This option is often appealing to patients who want a subtle yet noticeable enhancement to their figure without adding additional volume to the breasts themselves.

Breast Lift and Body Contouring After Weight Loss

Patients who have achieved significant weight loss sometimes choose to pair a breast lift with other body contouring procedures, such as an arm lift or thigh lift. These combinations address excess skin and tissue in multiple areas, helping create a more proportional and balanced look.

When performed as part of a larger plan, a breast lift can be an important step toward completing a full transformation after weight loss.


Finding the Right Pairing for Your Goals

While many patients choose to pair a breast lift with another procedure, not everyone requires combination surgery. The right approach depends on your anatomy, your goals, and what you hope to achieve.

Choosing with Confidence

With extensive experience in breast and body procedures, Dr. Hopkins takes time to evaluate each patient’s concerns and recommend the path that makes the most sense for their unique situation. A thoughtful consultation can help determine whether a breast lift alone, or paired with another surgery, will provide the most satisfying and long-lasting results.
