Can a breast lift be done at the same time as breast augmentation?
A breast lift can be performed alone or in conjunction with a breast augmentation. A breast lift repositions sagging breast tissue into the upper portion of the breast and lifts the nipple and areolar complex. The nipple and areola remains attached to the breast throughout the procedure. If indicated, the size of the areola (the colored part around the nipple) is reduced. If only a small degree of lift is needed, the incision used to lift the breast can be limited to just around the areola. If more lift is needed, the incision around the areola will be extended straight down in the shape of a lollipop. In most cases, an incision is not needed in the crease under the breast.
