Breast Surgery

Breast augmentation with breast lift

Restore both volume and position in one procedure, for breasts that are fuller, higher, and naturally shaped.

What it is

Breast augmentation with breast lift, also called augmentation-mastopexy, combines two procedures. An implant or fat restores volume and upper-pole fullness, while a lift raises and reshapes the breast and repositions the nipple. It is chosen by patients who have both lost volume and developed sagging, a common combination after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight change.

Doing both together addresses size and position in a single recovery. The implant adds the fullness a lift alone cannot provide, while the lift corrects the sagging that an implant alone cannot. Incision patterns follow the lift component, from around the areola to a vertical or anchor shape.

It is a more complex procedure than either alone, requiring careful planning so volume and position work together. The goal is a fuller, lifted, natural-looking breast. All surgery carries risks, and results vary.

What it can improve

  • Sagging combined with lost volume
  • A deflated or empty upper pole
  • A low or downward-pointing nipple position
  • Stretched skin after pregnancy or weight change
  • Overall shape, fullness, and proportion

It cannot eliminate scars, cannot guarantee a precise cup size, and cannot stop future aging or sagging. Skin quality and stretch marks are not corrected by the implant.

Quick facts

  • Procedure time: Usually 3--4 hours
  • Anesthesia: General anesthesia
  • Clinic stay: Same-day discharge or overnight stay when recommended
  • Recovery: Around 2--3 weeks before social activities
  • Exercise: Strenuous activity avoided for 4--6 weeks
  • Final result: Settles over several months
  • Price: Determined after consultation

Before the procedure

You will receive detailed instructions on medication, supplements, smoking, alcohol, fasting, and tests. Implant choice and the lift pattern are planned together, balancing the volume you want with the degree of lift your tissue needs.

During the procedure

The lift removes excess skin and reshapes the breast while the implant is placed to restore volume and upper-pole fullness. The nipple is repositioned to a natural height, and incisions follow the agreed lift pattern.

After the procedure

Swelling, bruising, and tightness are normal and ease over the first weeks. A support bra is worn as advised, and heavier activity is avoided during initial healing. The breast settles into a softer, more natural shape as swelling resolves and scars mature over months.

Results: what it can and cannot achieve

A fuller, lifted, naturally shaped breast is achievable in a single recovery. The procedure cannot remove scars, cannot guarantee an exact size, and does not remove the future need to address the implant, since implants are not lifetime devices.

Possible risks and complications

Augmentation-mastopexy combines the risks of both procedures. Possible risks include:

  • Bleeding or hematoma
  • Infection
  • Delayed wound healing
  • Changes in nipple or skin sensation
  • Capsular contracture or implant malposition
  • Visible or widened scars
  • Asymmetry or recurrence of sagging
  • Implant rupture over time and need for future surgery

Combining procedures can carry a slightly higher revision rate than either alone. Smoking and impaired circulation raise healing risks, so smoking cessation is essential.

Why Skulpturkliniken

Breast surgery by Dr. Matteo Amoroso

Augmentation-mastopexy at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon whose anatomical precision allows volume and lift to be planned as one balanced result.

Natural, balanced results

Dr. Amoroso plans the implant and lift together so fullness and position complement each other, achieving a natural, lifted shape rather than an over-projected or tight result.

Reconstructive precision meets aesthetic judgment

From the first consultation, Dr. Amoroso explains how the two components interact, the scar pattern, and whether a combined or staged plan is safest for your tissue and goals.

Individualized assessment

Every combined procedure begins with a detailed assessment. We evaluate:

  • Degree of sagging and nipple position
  • Volume loss and desired fullness
  • Skin quality and elasticity
  • Implant size, profile, and placement
  • Symmetry between sides
  • Whether a combined or staged approach suits you

The best surgeon

I had a circumferential abdominoplasty with Matteo Amoroso, and I can honestly say I couldn't have wished for a better surgeon. From the moment I met Matteo, I felt the sense of security I was looking for. He was kind, attentive, and professional from the very beginning. He took the time to explain everything in detail and answered all my questions, which made me feel well-informed before the surgery. I never had to go home and wonder about anything because he was so thorough in his explanations. It's now been three weeks since my surgery, and even though the healing process is still ongoing, I'm already incredibly happy with the result. The change is greater than I had dared to hope for, and I feel so grateful that I chose Matteo. I have more surgeries I want to undergo in the future, and there's no doubt that Matteo will be my first choice then too. I warmly recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery!

A pro

I've had two surgeries with Matteo. The first was liposuction on my stomach, and most recently, my eyes – specifically, my lower eyelids and eyebrows. Matteo suggested a unique technique for my eyebrows that no other surgeon had proposed. This allowed me to remove excess skin under my eyebrows without needing an eyebrow or forehead lift, which I wasn't interested in. I'm extremely happy with the results of both my procedures. Matteo is a true professional; he loves his work, and you're always met with kindness and genuine care. He's an excellent communicator, explaining everything clearly and answering all questions and concerns. You feel completely confident in his knowledge and experience. Matteo also has a wonderful ability to make you feel understood; he listens carefully and is just as dedicated and invested as you are in achieving a successful procedure and outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Matteo. I've had surgery 6 times in total, with the last two being with him. Whatever my next procedure may be, I will undoubtedly choose Matteo first again.

The best surgeon

Matteo is an incredibly skilled surgeon whom I highly recommend. I underwent a major tummy tuck, and from the very first consultation, Matteo was professional, calm, and very accessible. He took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel secure, involved, and well-informed throughout the entire process. He thoroughly explained the procedure, recovery, and what results I could expect, which gave me great confidence going into the surgery. Everything went very well without any complications, and I am very happy with the result. I would undoubtedly choose Matteo again if I were to have more procedures in the future.

The best choice for a plastic surgeon!

Dr. Amoroso has performed several operations on me, including a neck and facelift with fat grafting, a lip lift, eyelid surgery, breast and tummy tucks, and liposuction on my knees. All operations have been successful and exceeded my expectations. I have worked with doctors for 50 years and am very impressed by Dr. Amoroso's artistry and skill. He is truly an asset to this profession and to patients who desire excellent results and the peace of mind that comes from being cared for in a responsible and professional manner.
