I would like to have a breast lift with augmentation.

Question: I would like to have a breast lift with augmentation. Do you put implants underneath the muscle? How long does this procedure usually take?

Answer: It is 2013, so really all implants should be below the muscle now. This has to do with visibility, palpability, rippling and capsular contracture rates. An augment with a lift definitely takes longer than an augment, but it really depends, which type of lift. Sometimes the scar is just around the areola, sometimes it is more of a lollipop type scar, and sometimes it is a horizontal incision along the inframammary fold. Breast augmentations with lift usually takes somewhere from two to three hours where as a breast augment itself takes less than an hour.
