If your breasts have lost volume and are sagging, a breast augmentation and lift is the correct procedure for you. Breast augmentation with a mastopexy (breast lift) is the most effective way to completely rejuvenate the size, projection, and position of your breasts if you have sagging and loss of volume.

What is Breast Augmentation & Lift?
Breast augmentation with lift combines implants with a breast lift procedure to enhance the size, shape, contour, and position of the breasts. Although breast augmentation is a great way to enhance the size and projection of the breasts, it can’t fully reduce sagging skin or lift the breasts and nipples higher on the chest wall. Conversely, the breast lift can rejuvenate the breasts to a more upright position, but it can’t restore lost volume or increase their size. Together, however, breast augmentation and breast lift can achieve a more youthful, feminine figure.
Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation & Lift?
Women often opt for breast augmentation with lift to restore the breasts affected by volume loss and sagging due to age or pregnancy. This is because implants can add volume or replace lost volume.
Ideal candidates for breast augmentation and lift in Albany, NY are women who want to increase their breast size and re-position their breasts at the same time. Candidates should be in good health – and be done breastfeeding and having children. This is because changes to your breasts following pregnancy can result in needing another procedure for best results.
If you’re happy with the size of your breasts when wearing a bra, you may be a candidate for a lift alone. However, if you would like them to be larger, implants are required.
Customize Your Breast Augmentation & Lift
Because this surgery combines two different breast procedures, it’s one of the most customizable options available. It can be tailored depending on your unique concerns and goals. This includes choosing the material, shape, and size of the implants. During your consultation with Dr. Kayastha, you’ll select the type of breast implant that’s best for your goals, as well as incision patterns and placement options.

Customization
-
Implant Type
All implants are created with a medical-grade silicone shell but come with a different filling. Saline and silicone implants remain the two most popular options for breast augmentation. Saline implants can be placed through a much smaller incision and filled with saline after they’re in place. Silicone implants come in two varieties – silicone gel and form stable silicone (or gummy bear implants). Silicone implants are among the most popular and natural-feeling implants.
-
Implant Size, Shape, and Texture
Once you select the type of implant you want, you’ll then choose from a variety of other customizable options like your implant’s size (in CCs), shape (round or anatomical), and texture (smooth or textured). Each comes with benefits – for example, anatomical implants are teardrop-shaped and can achieve a more naturally-full look in the upper breast pole. Textured implants can also prevent rotating within the breast tissue pocket and achieve a firmer feel. Dr. Kayastha will discuss which combination works best for your goals.
-
Incision Pattern
There are a variety of incision patterns that can be used during your procedure depending on what you need. Dr. Kayastha will take steps to help your incisions heal well and be easily concealed within clothing. He can also recommend the right scar treatments for your recovery to insure that your incisions heal as well as possible.
-
Implant Placement
During breast augmentation, a pocket is created in the breast tissue for the implant. However, there are two options for placement. The first is on top of the chest muscle (which usually produces more projection with less discomfort during recovery) and underneath the chest muscle (which usually produces more subtle results and a natural feel). You’ll discuss the right one for your goals with Dr. Kayastha.
Breast Augmentation & Lift Results
You’ll see noticeable results after your surgery, but it can take a few months for swelling to subside and for the implants to settle into their final position. Most patients note that their breasts begin to look and feel natural at around 6 weeks after. Because breast augmentation with lift is the most transformative breast surgery available, you’ll enjoy fuller, perkier, more youthful breasts after your full recovery.
Recovering from Breast Augmentation & Lift
When you wake up from your surgery, you’ll be fitted with a specialized surgical bra. Make sure to wear this as much as possible during your initial recovery. It’s normal to have some soreness and discomfort, and our team will make sure you have pain medications for your recovery. Swelling will be at its worst for the first 1-2 weeks before beginning to subside. You should plan to take 1-2 weeks away from work and social activities to rest and recover. Dr. Kayastha will make sure you know when it’s safe to return to your regular workout regimen.
After an initial one to two week recovery, you can begin returning to light activities and work. You’ll begin to feel ready to return to your normal level of activity within four to six weeks.
What to Expect
Breast augmentation with lift will completely rejuvenate the breasts for fuller, perkier breasts and a more youthful figure.
● Before Treatment: During your consultation with Dr. Kayastha, you’ll thoroughly discuss your concerns and determine whether breast augmentation with lift is right for you. You’ll also select the implants, incision patterns, and implant placement options that suit your goals.
● During Treatment: Breast augmentation with lift is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Kayastha and our surgical team will coordinate throughout your surgery to make sure you stay safe and healthy. Typically, patients return home after the surgery.
● Immediately After: You can expect some swelling, tenderness, and bruising after your procedure. You’ll be fitted with a specialized surgical bra and drains for your immediate recovery. Make sure to follow all instructions given by our team and schedule a follow-up appointment with Dr. Kayastha.
