Breast Lift and Augmentation

Sometimes our breasts need a little help to get them where we want them to be. Combining a breast lift and breast augmentation can provide you with naturally lifted, fuller breasts. Triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Jennifer Matthesen offers breast lift and augmentation to residents of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach and the neighboring communities in St. Johns County who desire bigger, perkier breasts.

What is a Breast Lift and Augmentation?

A breast lift and augmentation is a combination of surgical procedures that help to enhance the overall size, shape, and position of the breasts on the chest. Patients typically come in for this procedure after having breastfed or undergone a major weight loss. After losing volume in the breasts over time, the skin and tissue don’t always snap back into place, leaving a droopy, deflated appearance. The goal of the breast lift and augmentation is to replace the volume lost over time and to remove any excess stretched tissue to provide you with the natural-looking, perky breasts you desire.

  • How Much Does a Breast Lift and Augmentation Cost in Jacksonville, FL?

    Your breast lift and augmentation will be performed under sedation or general anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. Prior to surgery, Dr. Matthesen will go over the details of your procedure with you and answer any lingering questions you may have. Your procedure will begin by carefully trimming away excess skin and tissue to reshape the breasts in an improved, lifted position. Once an appealing breast shape has been formed, a breast implant is placed either under the chest muscle or above the muscle under the breast glands, depending on your anatomy and desired results. Because a breast lift and augmentation is a combination of two separate surgical procedures, the entire surgery may take up to three hours to complete.

  • What Can I Expect During my Breast Lift and Augmentation Recovery?

    Recovering from your breast lift and augmentation surgery will be similar to recovering from a traditional breast augmentation. Because the two procedures are done at the same time, the overall recovery period is significantly shorter than two separate recoveries after separate surgeries. Following your breast lift and augmentation, you will likely experience soreness, swelling and bruising around your treated areas. This is normal and typically resolves on its own within a few weeks following your procedure. Dr. Matthesen will provide you with a surgical bra to wear and detailed post-operative care instructions to help make your recovery quick and comfortable. While you will see some immediate results from your procedure, ultimate results will become visible once the breasts have settled into position and all the swelling subsides, approximately three to six months after your procedure.
