What Is a Breast Lift with Implants?
Why Combine a Breast Lift with Implants?
Some women mistakenly believe implants alone will lift their breasts. However, if your nipples sit below the breast crease or your skin has stretched significantly, a lift is necessary to reshape the breast before or while placing implants. By combining both surgeries, you:
- Get better, longer-lasting results
- Avoid multiple recovery periods
- Ensure the implant sits in the ideal position for your body
- Enhance both perkiness and volume in one surgery
Is A Breast Lift and Augmentation Procedure Right for Me?
During your consultation, Dr. Alsubaie will help you determine whether a lift with implants is necessary or if you could benefit from implants or a lift alone. You might be a great candidate for breast augmentation with lift if:
- You’ve lost breast volume due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging
- Your breasts sag or your nipples point downward
- You have stretched or asymmetrical areolas
- You want both fuller and firmer breasts
- You are in good health and at a stable weight

How the Breast Lift with Implants Procedure Works
The entire procedure typically takes 2–3 hours and is performed in our accredited surgical facility. Dr. Saad Alsubaie customizes every procedure based on your anatomy and goals. Here’s a general outline of what to expect:
Anesthesia
You’ll be placed under general anesthesia by a board-certified anesthesiologist.
Lift Technique
Dr. Alsubaie will make precise incisions based on your degree of sagging, often around the areola and vertically down the breast (a “lollipop” incision).
Implant Placement
Implants are inserted through the same incisions and placed above or below the muscle depending on your needs.
Reshaping and Closure
Dr. Alsubaie will reshape the breast tissue, reposition the nipple, and carefully close the incisions for smooth, natural results.
At Aeterna, your consultation is more than an appointment; it’s the beginning of a transformative journey guided by care, integrity, and a genuine commitment to your well-being. – Dr. Alsubaie

Breast Augmentation with Lift - FAQs
How do I know if I need a lift with my implants?
If your nipples sit below the fold of your breast or point downward, a lift is likely needed to achieve a youthful, natural shape.
Will I have scars?
Yes, but Dr. Alsubaie uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring. Most scars fade significantly and are placed where they’re easily hidden by bras or swimsuits.
Can I breastfeed after a lift with implants?
Many women retain the ability to breastfeed, especially if the milk ducts are preserved during surgery. Dr. Alsubaie will discuss this during your consultation.
Can this be part of a mommy makeover?
Absolutely. Breast augmentation with lift is a common component of mommy makeovers and can be combined with tummy tucks or liposuction.
Is this surgery safe?
Yes, when performed by a fellowship-trained, board-certified surgeon in an accredited facility. Safety is always our top priority.
How long do the results of a breast lift with implants last?
Breast augmentation with lift offers long-lasting results. While implants can last 10–15 years or more, the lift portion may be affected by aging, weight changes, or pregnancy. Maintaining a stable weight and wearing supportive bras can help preserve your results for many years.
Can I choose the size of my implants?
Yes. Dr. Alsubaie will help guide you through the sizing process using visual aids, sizers, and anatomical measurements. His goal is to select an implant size that complements your frame and matches your personal goals while ensuring the final result looks natural and proportionate.
Will I lose nipple sensation?
Changes in nipple sensation are possible but usually temporary. Most patients regain full or partial sensation within a few months after surgery. Dr. Alsubaie uses careful techniques to preserve nerve pathways and reduce the risk of long-term sensitivity loss.
How soon can I drive after surgery?
You can typically resume driving within 7–10 days, as long as you’re no longer taking prescription pain medications and feel comfortable moving your upper body safely. Dr. Alsubaie will give you specific clearance based on how your recovery is progressing.
What if I plan to have more children?
If you’re planning future pregnancies, it’s usually best to delay this procedure, as pregnancy and breastfeeding can impact your results. However, if you’re done having children or are not planning to breastfeed, surgery can be performed sooner.
Will my breasts look natural after combining a lift with implants?
Yes. This procedure is specifically designed to restore natural shape, projection, and youthful fullness. Dr. Alsubaie prioritizes proportion, symmetry, and subtlety to ensure your outcome fits your body and doesn’t look “done.”
How should I prepare for surgery?
You’ll receive pre-operative instructions that may include lab testing, medication adjustments, and arranging post-surgery support. We recommend preparing your home for a comfortable recovery—think cozy pillows, front-zip bras, and easy meals.
Can I combine this surgery with other procedures?
Absolutely. Many women choose to include breast augmentation with lift in a Mommy Makeover or pair it with liposuction or tummy tuck for a full-body transformation. Dr. Alsubaie will let you know what’s safe and effective based on your goals.
