Achieve Lift, Shape, and Fullness in a Single Procedure
When women begin exploring breast enhancement, one of the most common questions is whether they can achieve breast augmentation and a breast lift at the same time. The answer is yes—and with advanced surgical techniques, patients can now enjoy the benefits of both procedures in one stage, using a minimal lollipop incision that preserves breast aesthetics while maximizing lift and shape.
At Kronowitz Plastic Surgery in Houston, we specialize in highly customized breast procedures designed to restore youthful projection, correct sagging, and deliver beautiful, natural-looking results. For the right candidate, combining implants with a breast lift in one surgery offers convenience, reduced downtime, and a more powerful transformation.
What Is a One-Stage Breast Implant and Lift Procedure?
A one-stage augmentation-mastopexy is a combined surgical approach in which breast implants are placed at the same time as a breast lift. This technique enhances breast volume while also tightening and lifting the breast tissue and repositioning the nipple-areolar complex.
The Advantage of the Minimal Lollipop Incision
The “lollipop incision,” also known as the vertical mastopexy incision, involves:
- A small circle around the areola
- A straight line down the mid-breast
- No horizontal scar along the breast fold
Why Combine Breast Implants and a Lift?
Life events such as aging, weight changes, pregnancy, and breastfeeding often lead to both volume loss and skin laxity. Combining the two procedures in one stage provides:
- Restored breast position
- Enhanced upper pole fullness
- Natural shape and symmetry
- One recovery, one surgery
Ideal Candidate
You may be a great candidate if you want fuller, lifted breasts, minimal scarring, correction of moderate sagging, better symmetry, or restoration after pregnancy or weight loss.
Procedure Overview
The surgery typically takes 2–3 hours and includes designing the incision, creating the implant pocket, placing implants, reshaping breast tissue, and fine-line closure.
Recovery and Results
Most patients return to light activities within 5–7 days. As swelling resolves, the breasts appear rounder, higher, fuller, and more symmetrical. The lollipop scar fades well for most individuals.
