What Is a Breast Lift with Augmentation or Reduction?

This sophisticated combination procedure addresses both shape and size in a single, meticulously tailored operation.

A breast lift (mastopexy) elevates sagging or elongated breast tissue, reshapes the breast mound, and repositions the nipple-areola complex to a more youthful, centered location.

From there, the procedure is enhanced based on your individual goals:

Augmentation

  • When performed alongside augmentation, a lift involves placing implants to restore lost volume, particularly in the upper pole of the breast, which a lift alone cannot achieve
  • This is ideal for patients who have experienced deflation after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss
  • Implants provide structure, roundness, and fullness that a lift alone cannot achieve
  • The combination creates perky, rejuvenated breasts with enhanced projection and cleavage—all while maintaining a natural look and feel
  • Implant options are tailored based on diameter (chest width), volume (desired breast size), projection (the distance the breast extends from the chest), and gel cohesivity (the softness or firmness of the implant)

Reduction

  • When combined with reduction, the lift addresses sagging while also removing excess breast tissue and weight
  • This option is often selected by women who suffer from physical discomforts like neck pain, shoulder grooving, skin irritation, or posture issues
  • In addition to aesthetic enhancement, a breast lift with reduction provides tangible relief, improved symmetry, and a more proportionate silhouette
  • The result is lighter, uplifted breasts that better suit your body’s frame and your lifestyle

Lifted. Supported. Beautifully You.

At Refine Surgery, we offer the Internal Bra for patients who want support that’s as strong as it is subtle. This advanced surgical option uses a biocompatible mesh—soft, absorbable, and gradually replaced by your body’s collagen—to provide invisible reinforcement beneath the breast.

Whether you’re looking for added support after pregnancy, weight loss, or a previous procedure, the Internal Bra helps preserve your shape, lift, and confidence. It’s especially helpful for maintaining long-term results with breast augmentation or lift.

Tailored to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals, the Internal Bra reflects our commitment to lasting beauty and care that goes deeper.

Patient Testimonial

"I am overwhelmed with gratitude for Dr. Gabrick!! Whenever I reached out with fears or concerns, he consistently took the time to address my questions, inquire about my well-being, and always followed up with such kindness to offer continued support and care. I am almost 1 year post op from my breast augmentation/ lip injections, and I CANNOT express how satisfied I am with the results; it has truly changed my life."

The Procedure: What to Expect

Surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2.5 to 4 hours. Dr. Gabrick makes carefully planned incisions, reshapes the breast tissue, lifts and secures the new breast mound, and repositions the nipple-areola complex.

If augmentation is performed, implants are placed either above or beneath the muscle, depending on your anatomy. In a reduction, excess tissue and skin are removed to achieve your desired size.

The chest is supported with a soft, surgical bra, and recovery begins in a calm, closely monitored environment. Most patients return home the same day.

Signs include rippling, rupture, discomfort, visible shifting, or simply reaching the 10–15 year mark. Imaging can confirm.

Will my breasts look deflated after removal?

Not necessarily. Depending on your goals and natural tissue, a lift or fat transfer can restore fullness and shape.

Will I have scars?

Most procedures use your original augmentation incision, so new scarring is minimal and fades over time.

Can fat transfer fully replace my implants?

In some cases, yes. It depends on the volume you desire and your available fat stores. Please note that you may require multiple sessions, which will be discussed during your consultation.
