Augmentation Mastopexy in Manchester and Cheshire

Augmentation mastopexy (uplift with implants) is a combined procedure that addresses two things at once: adding volume with breast implants and lifting the breast using a mastopexy technique to tighten loose skin and improve nipple position. It is commonly chosen by women who have experienced volume loss and breast ptosis (drooping) following pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss. Performing both in a single operation means one anaesthetic, one recovery, and results that neither procedure alone could achieve. Mr Nassab will assess your degree of ptosis — if your nipple sits below your natural breast crease, a lift is likely needed alongside augmentation.

What is Augmentation Mastopexy?

“Mr. Reza Nassab is the most excellent surgeon, he made me feel at ease through the whole process and was happy to answer all my questions, however silly they might have seemed. I am now 8 weeks post op and I could not be happier with the results. I can honestly say they are perfect. Could not recommend Mr. Reza Nassab and his team in Wilmslow enough.”

Why Choose Mr Reza Nassab for Augmentation Mastopexy?

Combined Procedure Expertise

Augmentation mastopexy is technically more demanding than either procedure performed alone — it requires precise balancing of implant weight against the lift. Mr Nassab’s experience across both breast augmentation and mastopexy ensures the result is harmonious and proportionate.

One Operation, One Recovery

Combining augmentation and mastopexy in a single session means one anaesthetic, one hospital stay, and one recovery period — versus two separate procedures with extended downtime.

Scar Pattern Tailored to Anatomy

Mr Nassab selects the most appropriate mastopexy pattern — anchor, vertical, or peri-areolar — based on your degree of ptosis and anatomy, minimising scarring wherever possible while achieving the best lift.

How is an Augmentation Mastopexy Performed?

Your Augmentation Mastopexy Procedure

An augmentation mastopexy is performed under a general anaesthetic and is usually performed as a day case. The operation involves placing an incision in the natural crease underneath the breast. A pocket is then created for the breast implant. The implant is then inserted. The breast is then lifted using a mastopexy or uplift technique.

What are the different types of incisions?

The most commonly used incision with an uplift with implants is an anchor shape which has scars around the nipple, vertically down and underneath the breast. There are some cases where we can perform a small lift just with an incision around the nipple. There is also a vertical scar pattern that can be performed.

Do I need an uplift?

This is a very common question that people ask. One simple way of telling if you need an uplift is to see where the nipple sits in relation to your natural breast crease. If the nipple sits below your breast crease then you are likely to need an uplift.

Augmentation Mastopexy Frequently Asked Questions

What is augmentation mastopexy?

Augmentation mastopexy — commonly known as uplift with implants — is a combined breast procedure that uses implants to restore volume and a mastopexy (breast lift) to tighten loose skin and improve nipple position. Both are performed in a single operation, meaning one anaesthetic and one recovery. It is particularly suited to women who have experienced volume loss and breast drooping following pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss.

Do I need a lift as well as implants?

A simple way to assess whether you need a lift is to look at where your nipple sits in relation to your natural breast crease. If the nipple sits below your breast crease, you are likely to need a mastopexy (lift) alongside your augmentation. If the nipple sits at or above the crease, implants alone may achieve the desired result. Mr Nassab will assess this carefully at your consultation.

What scars will I have after augmentation mastopexy?

The most common scar pattern is anchor-shaped: around the nipple and areola, a vertical line down to the breast crease, and a horizontal line along the breast crease. In selected cases — where only a mild lift is needed — a vertical (lollipop) scar or a peri-areolar scar (around the nipple only) may be appropriate. Mr Nassab will recommend the most suitable pattern for your anatomy at consultation.

Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation mastopexy?

There is a chance you may not be able to breastfeed after an uplift procedure. This may be due to some glandular tissue being affected during the mastopexy. If future breastfeeding is a priority for you, this is an important consideration to raise at your consultation with Mr Nassab before proceeding.

Can I fly after augmentation mastopexy?

Long-haul travel is generally avoided for 6 weeks following surgery to ensure everything has settled and to reduce the risk of complications. Short-haul travel may be possible from around 4 weeks, but a support bra must be worn for 6 weeks following surgery. Please confirm with Mr Nassab before making any travel arrangements.

How much does augmentation mastopexy cost?

Augmentation mastopexy prices start from £12,500. The final cost depends on implant choice (standard or premium options such as Motiva Preserve) and where the procedure is performed. Finance options are available. A personalised, confirmed quote is provided after your consultation with Mr Nassab.
