Augmentation Mastopexy is a highly technical procedure that requires a 'dual-plane' mindset. First, the surgeon performs a mastopexy (lift) to remove redundant skin and tighten the underlying glandular tissue, essentially creating a stronger 'envelope' for the breast. The nipple-areola complex is elevated to a more youthful position on the breast mound.

Second, a breast implant is inserted to provide the projection and fullness that skin tightening alone cannot achieve. This combined approach is vital for preventing 'bottoming out' - a common complication where an implant falls too low because the skin was too lax to support it. At our South Yorkshire facility, we often utilize 'internal bra' techniques, where internal sutures provide a scaffold to ensure the longevity of the lift.

Because this surgery involves both resizing and reshaping, it is often considered more complex than standard breast surgery, requiring the expertise of a specialist plastic surgeon to ensure the weight of the implant does not compromise the surgical lift.

The benefits of this procedure include:

• Simultaneously restores upper-pole fullness and corrects moderate-to-severe sagging.
• Elevates the nipple position for a more youthful, perky aesthetic.
• Removes 'stretched' skin that diet and exercise cannot tighten.
• Prevents the 'implant drop' seen when augmentation is performed on saggy breasts.
• Comprehensive correction for post-pregnancy or post-weight loss 'deflation'.
