# Breast Lift with Implants

Some women considering breast surgery want to address two changes at once: the position of the breast on the chest wall, and the volume of breast tissue. After pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss, the breasts often lose both upper pole fullness and the higher position they held before. A lift alone can return the position but not the volume. An implant alone can return the volume but not lift tissue that's already descended below the breast crease. For these patients, a combined procedure that addresses both at once is typically the more complete answer.

Dr Scott J Turner is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon (FRACS) with over a decade in private practice. He has performed more than 1,000 breast procedures and consults from his Sydney clinics in Bondi Junction and Manly. The page that follows walks through what breast lift with implants involves, when the combined approach is appropriate, the difference between one-stage and two-stage planning, what recovery looks like for combined surgery, and the additional considerations that come with placing an implant within a lifted breast.
