You can have a breast augmentation and a breast lift (mastopexy) at the same time. A breast lift is a surgical procedure designed to lift and/or reshape breasts that hang low over the chest and have the majority of their volume at their base. It is an effective procedure to restore firmer, more youthful-looking and voluminous breasts. Breast augmentation with implants is concerned with increasing the size of the breasts. If you are considering combining the two procedures, you should factor in that a breast lift has a longer recovery time than breast enlargement on its own.
