Breast Lift + Augmentation Cost

A lift (mastopexy) repositions and reshapes breast tissue that's lost elasticity; augmentation adds volume. Combined in one session, they share a single facility and anesthesia fee — but each procedure still carries its own surgeon's fee, so the combined total is meaningfully higher than augmentation alone, not just a small add-on.

Why the combined total isn't a simple sum

Doing both procedures in one operating-room session means you pay for facility time and anesthesia once, not twice — the savings independently reported across practice pricing menus run roughly $3,000–$5,000 versus scheduling the two procedures separately. But each procedure still has its own surgeon's fee, so the combined total is higher than augmentation alone, not the same price with a lift "thrown in."

Considering a mommy makeover instead?

If you're evaluating a lift + augmentation alongside a tummy tuck or liposuction as part of a broader post-pregnancy body-contouring plan, our Mommy Makeover cost calculator models the combined-procedure total across the full bundle, not just this one pairing.

Who typically needs both

Volume loss combined with skin laxity — most commonly after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight change — is the typical candidacy profile. Implants alone can't correct significant sag (ptosis); a lift alone doesn't add volume. A consultation with measurement of nipple position relative to the inframammary fold determines which degree of ptosis you have and whether a lift is actually indicated, versus implants alone achieving the desired look.

Frequently asked questions

How much more does a combined lift + augmentation cost than augmentation alone?

The lift add-on runs $3,000–$5,500 on top of augmentation. Combined, silicone augmentation + lift totals $8,800–$17,000, versus $5,800–$11,500 for augmentation alone.

Do I save money by combining a lift and augmentation into one surgery?

Yes, on facility and anesthesia costs specifically — combining shares one operating-room session instead of two, with practice pricing menus reporting roughly $3,000–$5,000 in savings versus scheduling them separately. Each procedure still carries its own surgeon's fee, so the combined total is still higher than augmentation alone.

How do I know if I need a lift, implants, or both?

It depends on the degree of ptosis (sag) versus volume loss. Implants alone can't correct significant sag; a lift alone doesn't add volume. A consultation measuring nipple position relative to the inframammary fold determines which combination is actually indicated for your anatomy.

Is this the same as a mommy makeover?

No — a mommy makeover typically bundles a lift and/or augmentation with additional procedures like a tummy tuck or liposuction. This page covers the breast-only combination; our Mommy Makeover calculator (coming soon) will model the full multi-procedure bundle.
