There is a large group of women who require two breast procedures, an augmentation and a lift, to achieve the breast size and shape they desire. Many have nursed children or lost a substantial amount of weight so that their breasts have lost volume and their breast skin has become lax.

Why Choose Dr. StokerFor many patients, having both an implant and a lift gives them more options for achieving beautiful results. The patient then has more flexibility in choosing her ideal breast size. Many mothers say they appreciated the fullness of their breasts when they were pregnant. They may want to restore the youthful upper breast fullness without dramatically changing their breast size. Other patients may choose to be larger than they were previously. Dr. Stoker helps patients understand how their choice of implant size and shape will affect their final result.
Combination breast augmentation and lift may be performed as one operation or two. It is technically more challenging for the surgeon to perform both operations in one stage, but that is what the majority of Dr. Stoker’s patients choose because it’s more convenient for them. In one-stage procedures, Dr. Stoker first decides on the optimal implants based on his discussions with the patient and the appearance of the implant sizers he fit in the operating room. Once the final implants are in place, he then adjusts the breast lift to create a beautiful breast shape over the new implant during the same operation.
When performed in two stages, the breast lift is usually performed first. If after several months the patient would like larger breasts, she may proceed with a second stage augmentation at that time. Small adjustments may then be made in the lift to accommodate the new implants.
Breast augmentation and lifts are an area of specialization for Dr. Stoker. He has co-authored several important clinical research papers on the topic over the last few years, and has made multiple presentations on the topic at the most prestigious plastic surgery meetings. Topics he has written about include one-stage breast augmentations with breast lifts and secondary breast augmentation with breast lifts.
Most patients take one week to recover before returning to work. The incisions heal over the course of several weeks, and the patient may begin to resume their normal exercise routine at that time.
