Breast Lift with Implants by Dr. Ernst Möller – Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon
A woman’s breasts are a symbol of femininity and self-expression. Over time, factors such as aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and gravity can alter their shape, position, and fullness.
If you’ve noticed sagging breasts, loss of volume in the upper pole, or asymmetry that affects your self-esteem or body confidence, a Breast Lift with Implants may be the transformative solution you’re looking for.
Dr. Ernst Möller, a renowned plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon, offers expert care and customized techniques in combined breast augmentation and lift procedures.
His approach focuses on achieving natural-looking, long-lasting results that enhance both your figure and self-confidence.
What is a Breast Lift with Implants?
A Breast Lift with Implants (or Augmentation Mastopexy) combines two procedures in one:
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Removes excess skin and reshapes the breast tissue to raise and firm the breasts.
- Breast Augmentation: Involves placing silicone or saline implants to enhance volume and projection.
Together, these procedures address both sagging (ptosis) and volume loss, creating a more youthful, fuller, and uplifted breast appearance.
It’s an ideal option for women who want both lift and enhanced size—something a lift or augmentation alone may not fully achieve.
Who is an Ideal Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for a breast lift with implants if you:
- Have sagging breasts due to aging, pregnancy, or weight loss
- Feel your breasts have lost shape or volume
- Notice nipples that point downward or sit below the breast crease
- Want fuller breasts along with improved breast position
- Are physically healthy and at a stable weight
- Do not smoke, or are willing to stop before and after surgery
- Have realistic expectations about outcomes
Dr. Möller conducts a personalized consultation to understand your goals, assess your anatomy, and help you choose the right implant type, size, and surgical plan.
Types of Breast Implants
Dr. Möller offers a wide range of high-quality implants, including:
- Silicone Gel Implants: Soft, natural feel and appearance
- Saline Implants: Adjustable size and filled after placement
- Anatomical (Teardrop) or Round Implants: Based on desired shape
- Smooth or Textured Surface: For different movement and feel characteristics
The choice of implant will depend on your preferences, body type, skin elasticity, and desired outcome. During your consultation, Dr. Möller will guide you through the pros and cons of each option to determine the best match.
The Surgical Procedure in Cape Town with Dr. Möller
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically lasts 2.5 to 4 hours, depending on complexity.
Steps Involved:
- Incision Placement: Common patterns include periareolar (around the nipple), vertical (lollipop), or anchor (inverted-T) based on the degree of lift needed.
- Breast Lift: Excess skin is removed, and the nipple is repositioned to a more youthful height.
- Implant Placement: The chosen implant is inserted either beneath the chest muscle (submuscular) or above it (subglandular).
- Shaping and Closure: Dr. Möller carefully reshapes the breast and closes the incisions with precision to minimize visible scarring.
Patients return home the same day with detailed recovery instructions.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery time varies by individual, but most patients can expect:
- Initial recovery: 1–2 weeks of rest, limited activity
- Return to work: Typically within 10–14 days
- Exercise: Light exercise after 3 weeks; full activities after 6–8 weeks
- Swelling and bruising: Common and gradually improves over time
- Support bra: Must be worn to aid healing and support the new shape
Follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor your healing. Dr. Möller and his team provide attentive post-operative care and are available to answer any questions throughout your journey.
Results: What to Expect from this Procedure
Results are visible immediately, but continue to improve as swelling subsides and the tissues settle.
Final results are typically seen by 3–6 months.
You can expect:
- Firmer, lifted breasts
- Fuller and rounder upper pole
- Improved nipple position
- Symmetrical and youthful contour
- Enhanced body proportion
While implants are long-lasting, they are not considered lifetime devices. Many women enjoy their results for 10–15 years or more before considering a revision or replacement.
