Will I need to change implants every 10 years after an augmentation mastopexy surgery?

Not automatically. Modern implants can last much longer. They’re changed only if there’s a problem or cosmetic concern.

Can I get pregnant and breastfeed after an augmentation mastopexy surgery?

Many women are still able to breastfeed after surgery, although breastfeeding cannot be guaranteed. Dr. Youssef Rayess uses techniques that preserve as much normal breast tissue and function as possible whenever appropriate.

Will my breasts look natural after a breast lift with implant surgery with Dr Youssef Rayess?

Yes. Dr. Youssef Rayess carefully selects the implant size, shape, and projection to complement your body proportions, creating elegant, natural-looking breasts rather than an exaggerated appearance.

Why would I need both a lift and implants?

A breast lift corrects sagging by repositioning the breast tissue and nipples, while implants restore or increase breast volume. Dr. Youssef Rayess combines both procedures when necessary to achieve youthful breast shape and fullness.

Which type of implants does Dr. Youssef Rayess use?

Depending on your anatomy and aesthetic goals, Dr. Youssef Rayess may recommend either round or anatomical (teardrop-shaped) implants. During your consultation, he will explain the advantages of each option and help you choose the implant that best suits your desired outcome.

What is the internal bra technique?

The internal bra technique reinforces the inframammary fold and provides additional internal support for the breast tissues and implants. Dr. Youssef Rayess frequently incorporates this technique in selected patients to improve implant stability and promote long-term results.

Where are the scars located?

The scar pattern depends on the degree of breast sagging. Dr. Youssef Rayess may use a periareolar (donut), vertical (lollipop), or anchor-shaped incision, always aiming to achieve the best breast shape while minimizing visible scars.

Will my nipples be repositioned?

Yes. During a breast lift, Dr. Youssef Rayess repositions the nipple-areola complex to a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing position while maintaining a natural appearance.

What is Dr. Youssef Rayess's philosophy for breast lift surgery?

Dr. Youssef Rayess focuses on creating breasts that are youthful, symmetrical, and naturally proportioned. His goal is not only to lift and enhance the breasts but also to preserve harmony with the rest of the body, achieving beautiful, elegant, and durable results.

Do you offer virtual online consultations for international patients?

Yes. We frequently welcome patients from around the globe. Your initial consultation can be conducted virtually, where Dr. Youssef Rayess will analyze your structure and discuss your goals before you travel for your procedure.

The Procedure

A breast lift with implants (also known as augmentation mastopexy) addresses both breast ptosis and volume loss in a single surgery. It is commonly performed for patients who experience deflation or sagging after pregnancy, weight changes, or aging.

The procedure reshapes and elevates the breast while restoring upper pole fullness, creating a balanced and natural-looking result tailored to each patient’s body proportions.

How It Works

Breast lift with implants surgery can be performed under general anesthesia.

It often involves:

An implant is placed either under or over the chest muscle to restore volume
Excess skin is removed to lift and reshape the breast
The nipple-areola complex is repositioned to a natural height while preserving attachment
The breast is reshaped and closed with fine sutures to support contour and symmetry

The procedure combines structural lifting with volume restoration to achieve a proportionate and natural breast appearance, adapted to each patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Lifted shape, restored fullness, natural balance.

Understanding your healing journey.

What to Expect After Surgery

Recovery varies among patients, but most can expect

Swelling and bruising are expected during the first 1 to 2 weeks
Mild to moderate discomfort is common and managed with prescribed medication
Light daily activities can typically resume after 5 to 7 days
Sports and strenuous exercise should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks
Breast shape gradually refines as swelling decreases over several weeks
Scars fade progressively over 6 to 12 months
Final results are typically visible after 2 to 3 months, with continued subtle improvement

When can I observe the result?
