Understanding Breast Augmentation + Lift

Breast Augmentation with Lift, also known as Augmentation-Mastopexy, is the ideal procedure for women who desire fuller, lifted, and more youthful breasts. This combination surgery addresses breast sagging (ptosis) and volume loss, restoring balance and confidence.

At Madison Plastic Surgery, Dr. Robert M. Tornambe has over 20 years of experience helping women achieve beautiful, natural-looking results through tailored breast enhancement procedures.

Is Breast Augmentation with Lift Right for You?

This procedure is perfect for women who:

  • Experience sagging or loss of firmness due to aging, pregnancy, weight loss, or genetics.
  • Want to increase breast volume while improving shape and projection.
  • Desire symmetry and a more proportionate body contour.
  • Have stretched or enlarged areolas that need repositioning.
  • Are in good health and have realistic expectations about their results.

Personalized Consultation Process

Every patient begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Tornambe. During this one-hour session, you will:

A follow-up consultation ensures that you feel confident in your decision before moving forward with surgery.

  • Discuss your goals for breast size, shape, and position.
  • Review photos to communicate your aesthetic preferences.
  • Try different implant sizes to visualize your potential results.
  • Understand the surgical process, expected results, and recovery timeline.

Surgical Options and Techniques

Breast Augmentation with Lift is a two-in-one surgery designed to enhance

both breast size and position for long-lasting, natural results.

Goal of Each Procedure:

Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Removes excess skin, repositions the nipple and areola, and reshapes the breast tissue for a more youthful look.

Breast Implants: Adds volume, shape, and firmness to achieve your desired breast size and contour.

Incision Techniques:

Dr. Tornambe customizes the incision technique to your specific needs:

  • Periareolar (around the nipple-areolar complex) – Ideal for mild sagging with minimal scarring.
  • Lollipop Lift – A circular incision around the areola plus a vertical incision down the breast for moderate sagging.
  • Anchor Lift – Best for severe sagging, includes a horizontal incision in the breast crease for greater lift and reshaping.

Placement:

  • Above the Muscle (Subglandular) – Creates a fuller look with a shorter recovery time.
  • Under the Muscle (Submuscular) – Provides a more natural feel and better long-term support.

Dr. Tornambe will recommend the best incision and implant placement based on your breast tissue, skin elasticity, and desired outcome.

The surgery is performed in our state-of-the-art, AAAAPSF-accredited operative suite on Manhattan's Upper East Side, under general anesthesia or sedation with local anesthesia, administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist. The procedure typically lasts about two hours, followed by a brief recovery period with dedicated nursing care.

How do I know if I need a breast lift with my augmentation?

If your nipples sit below the breast crease or point downward, a breast lift may be necessary to restore a perkier, more youthful shape along with volume enhancement.

What is the difference between saline and silicone implants?

  • Silicone implants feel softer and more natural, ideal for women with minimal breast tissue.
  • Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater, slightly firmer, and often require a smaller incision.

How long do breast implants last?

Most implants last 12-15 years, though they only need to be replaced if an issue arises.

How visible will my scars be?

Incisions are placed in strategic locations to minimize visibility, and proper scar care will ensure they fade over time.
