Breast Augmentation With Lift In St. George, Utah
There’s something truly transformative about feeling confident in one’s own skin, and for many women, that means exploring options to enhance their breasts. A breast augmentation with lift at St. George Body Sculpting & Aesthetics with Dr. Mustafa Ahmed can be a game-changer. We believe every patient deserves to feel empowered, and combining a lift with an augmentation is a powerful way to achieve fuller, perkier breasts that look beautifully balanced and natural.
Below, we’ll explore the ins and outs of a breast lift with breast augmentation, why it’s often done together, and what to expect before, during, and after surgery. We’ll also address some of the most frequently asked questions, including common inquiries about breast augmentation with lift cost.
Why Get A Breast Augmentation & Lift Together?
For those who want to restore lost volume while also addressing sagging, a breast lift with augmentation offers the best of both worlds. One of the biggest reasons this combination is popular is that it can create a more harmonious final result. If both a desire for reshaping (to combat sagging) and a desire for increased size or fullness, doing the two procedures together can provide the most balanced outcome.
By performing a breast lift with breast augmentation in a single surgery, Dr. Ahmed can deliver cohesive results that align with each patient’s aesthetic goals. It also means just one recovery period, rather than undergoing separate surgical procedures.
Benefits Of Combining The Procedures
When considering a breast lift with breast augmentation, there are several potential benefits:
- Dual Correction: Augmentation restores volume, while the lift repositions the breast tissue and nipple-areola complex, offering a perkier contour.
- Single Recovery: Combining the procedures means fewer total weeks of downtime, rather than having two separate surgeries.
- Customizable Results: We can tailor the implant size and lift technique to match each patient’s anatomy and desired outcome.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Combining procedures can sometimes be more cost-effective than doing them separately, since specific fees (like anesthesia and facility costs) are only charged once.
What To Expect During The Procedure
Dr. Mustafa Ahmed takes a personalized approach to every breast lift with augmentation. During an initial consultation, we carefully listen to each patient’s goals and discuss how to achieve them. We also discuss different implant types (saline or silicone), implant placement options, and incision styles.
On the day of surgery, patients are put under general anesthesia to ensure comfort. Dr. Ahmed typically makes an incision around the areola and possibly down the breast (the exact incision depends on the degree of lift needed). Through this incision, the breast tissue is lifted, and implants are placed according to the surgical plan. Then, any excess skin is removed, and the incisions are closed carefully to minimize scarring.
The length of the surgery varies depending on individual anatomy and desired changes, but most procedures last two to three hours. Throughout the entire process, our compassionate staff is on hand to make sure patients feel comfortable, supported, and informed.
What Is Recovery Like?
The recovery from a breast augmentation with lift is typically manageable, though it requires some patience and self-care. Here’s a quick overview of what to expect:
- Initial Discomfort: After the surgery, there can be some soreness, swelling, and bruising. Dr. Ahmed prescribes pain medication to help manage any discomfort in the first few days.
- Support Garments: Patients wear a surgical bra or compression garment to support the new breast shape during healing.
- Activity Restrictions: For the first few weeks, it’s best to avoid heavy lifting, intense workouts, and raising the arms above the head. Light walking can help with circulation, but strenuous activities should be postponed.
- Follow-Up Appointments: We schedule follow-up visits to monitor healing and ensure everything looks great. Over time, swelling subsides, and incision lines fade.
Following Dr. Ahmed’s aftercare instructions closely is crucial to enjoying the smoothest healing experience and optimizing final results. Most patients feel well enough to resume everyday activities within a week or two, but complete healing can take a few months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you do a breast lift and augmentation together?
Yes. Many patients choose to combine a breast lift and augmentation in one procedure. This approach can address both sagging and volume loss, resulting in perkier and fuller breasts without needing two separate surgeries.
Does a breast augmentation come with a lift?
Not always. A breast augmentation focuses on increasing volume with implants, whereas a breast lift targets sagging. While these procedures can be performed together, they are not automatically bundled. It’s essential to clarify with the surgeon whether both procedures would benefit your specific goals.
How much does a breast lift with implants cost?
The price can vary, but factors such as implant type, the extent of surgery, and anesthesia fees impact the breast augmentation with lift cost. We encourage scheduling a consultation at St. George Body Sculpting & Aesthetics for an accurate quote based on your needs.
Is a boob lift cheaper than a boob job?
In general, a stand-alone breast lift (often referred to as a boob lift) may cost more than a boob job (breast augmentation). Pricing depends on multiple factors, including the surgeon’s fees, facility costs, and geographic location.
What is the downside of a breast lift?
While a breast lift can restore perkiness, there are potential downsides. Because of the additional incisions needed, scarring is typically more extensive than with an augmentation alone. However, many patients find that the resulting firmer, lifted shape outweighs the visibility of scars, which often fade over time.
Will insurance cover breast implants?
In most cases, insurance companies consider breast implants for cosmetic reasons and typically do not provide coverage. However, if breast reconstruction is needed after a mastectomy or due to certain medical conditions, insurance may offer partial or complete coverage. It’s best to verify coverage directly with your insurance provider.
