Healy Plastic Surgery & Med Spa
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.
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:
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.
The augmentation mastopexy procedure is designed to address:
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 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:
A surgical bra is placed after surgery to promote healing, support your results, and ensure proper healing in the weeks that follow.
You may be an ideal candidate for a breast lift with implants if:
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.
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:
Every step of your recovery is supported by our team, and you’ll have direct access to your surgeon at every stage.
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.
