What is Augmentation Mastopexy?
Augmentation mastopexy is a surgical procedure that combines a breast lift (mastopexy) with breast augmentation (implants). This dual approach addresses both sagging and volume loss, providing a more youthful, perky, and fuller breast appearance. The procedure is ideal for women who want to improve both the shape and size of their breasts in a single surgery.

The Augmentation Mastopexy Procedure
Consultation and Planning
During your initial consultation, Dr. Ghaznavi will discuss your goals and evaluate your suitability for the procedure. He will develop a customized treatment plan, including the type and size of implants best suited for your desired results.
Surgery
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity. Dr. Ghaznavi will make incisions around the areola, extending downward and sometimes along the breast crease. The breast tissue is lifted, and implants are inserted to enhance volume. Excess skin is removed, and the breast is reshaped to achieve a firmer, higher position.
Recovery
Recovery from augmentation mastopexy involves some downtime. Most patients can return to normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks, though strenuous activities should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Swelling and bruising are common but typically subside within a few weeks. Dr. Ghaznavi will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
