The Best of Both Worlds

For women who want to restore both the position and volume of their breasts, a breast lift with implants is the perfect pairing. At Holcomb–Kreithen Plastic Surgery & Medspa in Tampa, we specialize in this combination procedure to help patients achieve a youthful, fuller, and more sculpted chest contour—often after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. Dr. Joshua Kreithen is a board-certified plastic surgeon with advanced expertise in cosmetic breast surgery. He’ll guide you through the process and tailor a surgical plan that fits your goals and anatomy.

Why Combine a Breast Lift with Implants?

A standalone breast lift repositions sagging breasts and reshapes the tissue. Implants add volume and upper pole fullness—especially important if you’ve experienced breast deflation or asymmetry.

You may benefit from a lift with implants if:

  • Your breasts have lost volume and look flat or deflated
  • There’s noticeable sagging, especially after weight loss or breastfeeding
  • Your nipples point downward or sit below the breast crease
  • You want to enhance size and shape while restoring a lifted, natural appearance

  • Explain implant options (saline vs. silicone, shape, size, profile)
  • Recommend the right incision pattern and implant placement

You’ll also meet with our patient coordinator to review pricing, scheduling, and recovery details.
