Volume, Shape, and a Natural Look

Breast Augmentation Mastopexy at Healy Plastic Surgery

Breasts naturally change over time due to aging, weight loss, pregnancy, and gravity. When breasts sag and lose volume, simply placing breast implants may not be enough. That’s where breast augmentation with lift comes in—a dual procedure designed to restore both the shape and size of your breasts for a more youthful appearance.

At Healy Plastic Surgery in Honolulu, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jeff Healy performs this advanced procedure with a tailored approach that honors your goals and your body. Whether you're looking to increase breast volume, lift sagging breasts, or restore symmetry after life changes, your care is built around delivering a natural appearance that enhances your confidence—not just your curves.

Volume and Lift, Beautifully Balanced

What is Breast Augmentation with Lift?

Breast augmentation with lift, also called augmentation mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgery that combines two techniques in one surgical procedure: a breast lift to reposition and reshape the breast, and breast implants to restore or increase breast volume.

This combination is especially helpful for patients who:

  • Have excess breast skin and lost fullness
  • Want to correct a sagging appearance after weight loss or pregnancy
  • Prefer a more youthful shape with an increase in breast size
  • Desire better implant positioning in relation to the breast crease
  • Are looking to achieve a natural position with balanced volume

During your consultation, Dr. Healy will evaluate your skin elasticity, breast tissue, and desired outcome to determine whether a lift procedure, implants alone, or both will best meet your goals.

Lift + Volume

What can a Breast Lift with Implants Address?

The augmentation mastopexy procedure is designed to address:

  • Sagging breasts caused by stretched breast skin
  • Loss of fullness in the upper pole of the breasts
  • Smaller breasts that have deflated with age or breastfeeding
  • Uneven breast shape or nipple position
  • The need to remove excess skin and improve firmness

For many women, combining implants with a breast lift allows for a single surgical plan and recovery—resulting in better long-term outcomes and improved balance between shape and size.

The Dual Solution, Simplified

How Does the Procedure Work?

The breast augmentation mastopexy is performed in our AAAASF-accredited surgical suite under general anesthesia for your safety and comfort. The surgical procedure typically takes 3-4 hours, depending on the complexity and whether breast reduction or prior implant surgery is involved.

Here’s what happens:

  1. Dr. Healy begins by placing the implants to restore volume in the upper part of the breast. The implants are typically placed below the muscle for added support and to minimize recurrent ptosis.
  2. He then sits the patient up to reconfirm measurements and then performs the breast lift to remove excess skin and provide a more youthful, perkier contour.. Finally, the implant/lift procedure is completed with meticulous suturing, and the breasts are reshaped into a smoother, more youthful shape.

A surgical bra is placed after surgery to promote healing, support your results, and ensure proper healing in the weeks that follow.

More Than Just a Lift

Is Breast Augmentation with Lift right for me?

You may be an ideal candidate for a breast lift with implants if:

  • You are in good general health with a stable medical history
  • Your breasts sag below the breast crease or appear deflated
  • You want to improve both volume and shape
  • You are not currently breastfeeding or pregnant
  • You have realistic expectations about scars, results, and the healing process

Patients should also avoid herbal supplements, smoking, and excessive sun exposure before and after surgery to reduce the risk of complications and support healthy blood flow to the tissue.

Rest, Support, and Results

What to Expect During Recovery

Most patients return to desk work or light activity within a week, though the full healing process takes several months. In the first several weeks, you’ll wear a surgical bra and follow instructions to reduce swelling and protect incision sites.

What to know:

  • Avoid heavy lifting and vigorous exercise for six weeks
  • Sleep on your back to avoid pressure on the breasts
  • Monitor incisions and contact our team with any signs of infection
  • Follow-up visits with Dr. Healy ensure you’re healing well and progressing toward your optimal outcome

Every step of your recovery is supported by our team, and you’ll have direct access to your surgeon at every stage.

The Confidence That Comes After

Breast Lift with Implants Results

You’ll notice an immediate improvement in breast shape, position, and fullness. As swelling subsides over the next few weeks, the implants settle into their natural position, and the final results continue to improve.

With proper care and a healthy lifestyle, the results of your breast enhancement surgery can last for many years.

You can expect:

  • A natural appearance that fits your frame
  • Breasts that sit higher with improved upper volume
  • A more youthful shape and balanced breast size
  • Improved self-confidence in and out of clothing
