What is a breast lift with implants?

Dr. Truong and Dr. Lin perform breast lifts with implants to restore both height and volume in a single procedure.

They recommend this for women who feel their breasts look “deflated” due to pregnancy, significant weight loss, or the natural aging process. This surgery lifts the tissue while adding an implant to create a firmer, perky appearance.

Many women find that a lift alone does not provide the fullness they want. If you have lost volume in the upper part of your breast, an implant provides the necessary fullness and shape. At Chicago Breast and Body, our surgeons Dr. Anh-Tuan Truong and Dr. Kevin Lin are natural-results focused. We believe your enhancement should be proportional and never look overdone. We prioritize your safety and will be direct about what is realistic for your specific body type. You can expect a result that accentuates your existing frame while maintaining a soft, believable look.

Are you a candidate?

You are likely a good candidate if you experience both skin laxity and a loss of breast volume. This procedure is common for women seeking body restoration after breastfeeding or those who have experienced weight fluctuations or skin changes from aging. Dr. Truong and Dr. Lin look for patients in good health who have realistic goals.

If your nipples point downward or sit below the breast crease, a lift is necessary. If you also feel your breasts lack “fill” at the top, adding an implant solves both issues. Dr. Truong and Dr. Lin will evaluate your breast ptosis (sagging) during your initial consultation to create a custom plan.

Which breast procedure fits you?

Every patient’s anatomy is different. Dr. Truong and Dr. Lin use this comparison to help you see where a breast lift with implants fits alongside the other options.

Breast procedure comparison
Procedure Ideal candidate Primary goal Technique & incisions Result profile Recovery
Breast Augmentation Patients wanting significant volume increase (2+ cup sizes) or upper-pole fullness. Increase size and improve projection using implants (Saline or Silicone). Implants placed via small hidden incisions (under breast fold or areola). Fuller, rounder shape with dramatic or natural projection options. 3–5 Days off work; full activity in 4–6 weeks.
Breast Lift no implants (Mastopexy) Women with sagging (ptosis) or downward-pointing nipples. Lift and reshape breast tissue to a perkier position without adding volume. Varies: Anchor (full lift) or Lollipop (vertical) to remove excess skin. Youthful, elevated position; restores natural perkiness. 1 Week off work; support bra required for 4–6 weeks.
Lift with Implants Women with both deflation (volume loss) and sagging skin. The “Best of Both”: Restores volume and lifts the breast mound. Standard lift incisions + implant placement for upper-pole fullness. High, round, and youthful profile with maximum cleavage. 1–2 Weeks off work; slightly longer recovery due to combined technique.
Breast Reduction Women experiencing back pain, strap grooves, or physical discomfort. Reduce size and weight to alleviate pain and improve proportion. Anchor incision pattern to remove excess tissue and heavy skin. Lighter, lifted, and proportionate to your body frame. 1–2 Weeks off work; immediate relief from back/neck strain.
Fat Transfer to Breast Patients with excess donor fat seeking modest enhancement (150–300cc). Subtle volume enhancement (approx. 1 cup) using your own body fat. Lipo 360 harvesting + injection. No implant foreign bodies. 100% Natural Feel: Soft, subtle enhancement (~60–80% fat retention). 7–10 Days off work; swelling varies at donor sites.
Non-Surgical Breast Enhancement (alloClae) Women wanting a modest, natural-looking increase in breast volume without implants or surgery, including those without enough donor fat for a transfer. Modest added volume (approx. half a cup size or less per session) using processed donor fat tissue. In-office injection under local anesthesia. No incisions, no general anesthesia, no liposuction. Natural look and feel that develops gradually over 3–6 months as the tissue integrates. Daily activities in 2–3 days; swelling and bruising resolve in 1–2 weeks.
Internal Bra Lift Featuring GalaFLEX Scaffold Patients with heavy breasts, weak tissue, or “bottoming out” risks. Reinforce the lift to prevent early sagging and maintain shape long-term. Add-On Procedure: Bio-absorbable mesh placed through standard lift incisions. Long-Term Stability: Mesh absorbs over 12–18 months, leaving stronger natural tissue. Follows the recovery timeline of the primary surgery (Lift/Reduction).

Recovery: What to expect

Most patients return to light daily activities within one to two weeks after surgery with Dr. Truong or Dr. Lin. You will experience some bruising and swelling, which gradually fades over the following months. The doctors recommend wearing a specialized support bra during the first few weeks to aid the healing process.

Chicago Breast and Body provides 24/7 access to the care team during your healing phase to ensure your comfort. You should avoid heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for at least four to six weeks. Dr. Truong and Dr. Lin use specific techniques to minimize the appearance of scars, which will fade over time.
