Have you noticed that your breasts have begun looking deflated? Perhaps you’ve considered a breast augmentation to restore lost fullness or a breast lift to reposition the breasts and nipples and remove excess skin. Did you know that many actually benefit most by combining these two popular procedures?
A breast lift with augmentation is one of our most popular procedures at LJC in San Diego, CA, and it’s easy to see why. By combining these two procedures, we can help improve two of the main concerns of women who’ve had children, lost a significant amount of weight, or who are simply at the mercy of normal signs of aging: sagging skin and loss of breast fullness. By both lifting and reshaping the breasts and adding volume, a breast lift with augmentation can drastically improve the appearance of drooping or deflated breasts.

OKKeep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
Pairing these procedures can make surgery more challenging for many patients with stretched, thin or weakened skin. These patients may have insufficient tissue to reinforce the bottom part of the breast following a lift. Without additional support, this means a greater chance that implants may bottom out or that sagging may reoccur. This is where Strattice™ comes into play.
Strattice™ Reconstructive Tissue Matrix is a tool we can use to reinforce existing weakened tissue for breast lift with augmentation patients. A soft, natural tissue support made from porcine dermis, Strattice™ comes in three Contour Shapes to accommodate a range of breast pockets for mastopexy augmentation cases.
During your procedure, your surgeon will make the incision type discussed in your consultation, then attach the selected size of Strattice™ to the chest wall and pectoralis major muscle. This helps to reinforce the breast pocket and keep it in position. After this is finished, he or she then removes the excess breast tissue and lifts the breasts into their perkier new position.
For more information on your options for breast augmentation with lift using Strattice™, contact us online or call (858) 452-1981! We’ll be glad to tell you more at a personal free consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons.

One of the most common questions we get in our practice is “Am I too young for breast implants?” However, you may be surprised to learn that another common question we hear is this one: “Am I too old for breast implants?” If you’ve been wondering if you’re past the age where breast implants will make any …
Life can take a toll on your breasts. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight gain or loss, and aging can cause your breasts to change and your skin to stretch. One day, you notice that your breasts aren’t where or what they used to be. The San Diego climate allows you to spend much of the year in …
