Breast Lift with Implants in Miami, FL
At Revive Surgical Institute, we offer advanced breast lifts with implants to help women achieve fuller, more youthful breasts while addressing sagging. Weight fluctuation, pregnancy, and the natural aging process can cause breasts to become less full and firm.

Our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Morad Askari is a specialist in breast surgery who uses cutting-edge techniques and high-quality implants to create natural and long-term results. He has helped hundreds of women regain their self-confidence and body harmony. Our mission is to provide personalized, best-in-class care to allow every patient to achieve their beauty goals with precision and safety.
What Is a Breast Lift
with Implants?
A breast lift with implants, or augmentation mastopexy, is a two-step procedure that enhances breast volume while lifting and repositioning sagging breasts. During surgery, Dr. Askari removes excess skin, tightens breast tissue, and places silicone or saline implants to make breasts fuller and more youthful. The aim is to increase both breast volume and position to regain a firm and well-proportioned look.
Numerous women undergo this cosmetic surgery if sagging and volume loss make them self-conscious and concerned with their body image. Unlike a breast lift alone, this surgery not only repositions the breasts but also adds fullness and definition, ensuring a comprehensive enhancement.
Breast Lift with Implant Techniques
At Revive Surgical Institute, we use diverse breast lift surgery techniques that vary depending on the patient’s breast shape, degree of sagging, and desired result. Here are the most popular techniques used:
Crescent Lift with Implants
This technique involves a small crescent-shaped cut at the apex of the areola. It is ideally used on those with minor sagging who want minimal lifting and volume augmentation. The implant placement helps create fullness, while the lift slightly raises the nipple and breast tissue for a natural result.
Periareolar Lift with Implants
Otherwise referred to as the “donut lift,” this procedure involves a cut around the areola and is a good option for mild to moderately sagging breasts. It addresses breast asymmetry, lifts the nipple to some degree, and offers space to insert implants to enhance volume and contour. The procedure is also utilized to minimize large areolas.
Vertical Mastopexy with Lollipop Lift and Implants
For moderately sagging breasts, a vertical or lollipop lift is a good solution. The procedure involves two incisions: a circular incision around the areola and a vertical incision to the breast crease. It offers maximum reshaping and elevation, with the implant adding volume to make it fuller and more rounded.
Anchor Lift (Inverted-T Lift) with Implants
Anchor lift is best used in severe sagging that involves full reshaping. It involves three incisions: around the areola, up to the breast crease, and horizontally along the crease. In this case, lift removes the maximum amount of excess skin and provides the greatest elevation, while implants add a lost volume to create a firm, youthful shape.
Types of Implants Used for Breast Augmentation
Dr. Askari uses two different types of implants – silicone and saline. Let’s analyze how they differ:
Silicone Breast Implants
Silicone implants are among the best breast augmentation options due to their natural look and feel. They are made of a cohesive silicone gel that is very close to natural breast tissue. The implants come in a range of sizes, shapes, and profiles to provide a customized fit. We utilize Sientra implants that can be used exclusively with board-certified plastic surgeons. They offer enhanced strength and reduce silicone leakage in case of rupture.
Saline Breast Implants
Saline implants have a silicone outer shell that is subsequently filled with a saltwater solution at the time of insertion. These implants allow small sizes to be resized at the time of surgery and have smaller cuts due to being filled after insertion. In case of a rupture, it would be easily absorbed by the body due to the saline solution. Saline implants do have a firm feel and can lack some of the natural softness of silicone implants.
Initial Consultation and Testing For Surgery
During the first appointment, Dr. Askari evaluates the patient’s breast volume, elasticity, and shape to determine the best breast implant and lift combination. He discusses the patient’s desired result, such as implant projection, type, and size. Then, our surgeon takes pre-op photographs and provides a cost estimate for the procedure.
Preoperatively, Dr. Askari may prescribe some medical tests like blood work, mammography, and EKG to check if a patient is a good candidate to undergo the procedure. A breast lift procedure with implants can be unsuitable for those with some medical conditions, such as:
- Uncontrolled diabetes
- Bleeding disorders
- Chronic infections
- Breast cancer or other oncology conditions
- Scars on multiple mammary glands
Breast Lift with Implants Procedure Explained
Marking and Anesthesia
On the day of surgery, Dr. Askari marks the breasts to identify the incision site and implant placement. Then, our anesthesiologist administers general anesthesia to make the patient comfortable throughout the procedure.
Incisions and Breast Lift Realignment
Next, Dr. Askari makes exacting breast lift incisions based on the degree of sagging (ptosis). He eliminates excess skin, reshapes breast tissue, and elevates the nipple and areola to a more youthful position.
Implant Placement
After lifting the breasts, our surgeon inserts silicone or saline implants into the breast pocket. The implants may be placed over or under the chest muscle, depending on the patient’s anatomy and desired outcome.
Closure of Incisions
Finally, Dr. Askari carefully closes incisions with stitches after lifting breasts and inserting implants. In some cases, drainage tubes may be placed to prevent fluid buildup and allow healing. The procedure takes approximately two to three hours.
Recovery After a Breast Lift with Implants
Immediate Recovery
Patients remain under our medical supervision until they fully wake from anesthesia. Most of them can go home on the same day. But they will have to make arrangements to have someone drive them and assist with daily routines in the early days. Tightness and swelling with mild to moderate pain can be expected. Dr. Askari may prescribe some pain medication to make recovery more comfortable.
Early Weeks
For three to four weeks after surgery, patients are required to wear a compression bra. It can help support their breasts, reduce swelling, and allow their tissue to heal. We recommend they avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise to prevent stressing their surgical incisions and implants. Our surgeon may also prescribe some antibiotics to prevent infection. The sutures will generally break down on their own. However, check-up visits with Dr. Askari will help to ensure that the patient is healing properly.
Long-term Results
Swelling will continue to subside over the next three to four months to demonstrate final breast shape and implant positioning. The majority of patients feel fully recovered after six weeks. However, it can take several months for breasts to settle into their final position. A healthy lifestyle and stable weight will assist in ensuring long-term, beautiful results.
