Breast Augmentation & Lift Denver
in Denver, CO
in Denver, CO
When it comes to breast enhancement, many patients don't know where to start. Will breast augmentation surgery restore a youthful shape? Would a breast lift help increase fullness and symmetry?
For many of Dr. Gregory A. Buford's Denver patients, the answer is both. Breast lift with augmentation is a great solution for lifting the breasts to a more youthful position while adding volume and improving shape through the placement of implants.

Breast augmentation and lift surgery is a combined procedure that increases the size of the breasts through implants (augmentation) and raises them by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue (lift). This procedure aims to create fuller, perkier breasts for an enhanced silhouette.
Breast Lift Options
There are multiple types of breast lift techniques, including the Crescent Lift, Peri-Areolar Lift, Vertical Lift, and Anchor Lift. Each option has unique benefits and minimal scarring in the fat removal and replacement areas. The tiny incisions will heal nicely with the proper care, and you can enjoy your beautiful results with confidence. Depending on the level of your breast sagging, Dr. Buford will choose the most appropriate technique with the least conspicuous incision placement.
Breast Implant Options
When it comes to breast implants, many factors will contribute to the final appearance of your augmented breasts. From implant size and shape to material and placement, creating the perfect breast for you involves a number of choices. Dr. Buford will work with you to select the best implant type and size for your needs.
There are many common situations where women can benefit from combining their breast augmentation with a lift, including:
Whatever your unique situation, consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Buford is the best way to determine which procedure or combination of procedures will help you achieve your goals.
During your consultation, Dr. Buford will meet with you to discuss your desired results and determine if you are a candidate for breast surgery. Patients should be in good health, at a stable weight, and be non-smokers.
Recovery varies by individual but generally involves rest and limited movement to allow the body to heal properly. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common initially and can be managed with medication. Most patients can return to work and light activities within 1-2 weeks, with a gradual return to full activities over the next few weeks. Complete healing and final results may take several months. Dr. Buford will provide detailed aftercare instructions and check your healing at post-operative visits.
You’ll notice an immediate difference in your breast shape, position, and volume, but initial swelling may slightly obscure your final results. Patience is key; it can take up to 3 to 6 months for your breasts to settle into their final position and for scars to begin fading.
Combining breast augmentation with a lift creates a naturally full, youthful appearance that stands the test of time. Maintaining a stable weight, wearing a supportive bra, and following a healthy lifestyle will help preserve your results for years.

Ideal candidates are individuals who are physically healthy, have realistic expectations, and desire to increase their breast size and improve their breasts' position and shape. Those with sagging breasts due to aging, weight loss, or after childbirth and breastfeeding, find this procedure particularly beneficial.
Yes, breast augmentation and lift can be performed as a single procedure. Combining these surgeries can reduce overall recovery time and costs compared to having two separate procedures. However, the decision to combine surgeries depends on individual patient factors and Dr. Buford’s recommendation.
Saline and silicone breast implants can be used for augmentation during this combined surgery. The choice between saline and silicone implants depends on patient preference, desired outcome, and Dr. Buford’s professional advice. Implants come in various sizes, shapes (round or anatomical), and textures.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks including infection, bleeding, scarring, changes in nipple or breast sensation, implant leakage or rupture, and the need for revision surgery. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Buford who is experienced in these procedures can help minimize these risks.
The results of breast augmentation and lift surgery are long-lasting but not permanent. Aging, weight fluctuations, and hormonal factors can affect the appearance of the breasts over time. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle can help prolong the results.
Scarring is inevitable in any surgery that requires incisions. However, Dr. Buford makes incisions in discreet locations, such as around the areola or under the breast fold, to minimize visible scarring. Over time, these scars typically fade and become less noticeable.
