Breast Augmentation with Lift in Portland & Lake Oswego
Following pregnancy or massive weight loss, some women find themselves with breasts that aren’t youthful in appearance as they once were. Sometimes these women want more volume, which can be done with an implant and/or a breast lift. Other women have their desired breast volume, but want to have the breasts reshaped and nipples more centralized, which can be done with a breast lift.
Every woman’s anatomy is different, so it’s recommended to see Dr. Burgess for a consultation.
Am I a Candidate?
There are many reasons why women undergo a breast lift or breast augmentation with lift, including, but not limited to:
- Reshape sagging breasts and reposition the nipples
- Decrease areola size (pigmented portion around nipple)
- Regain the breast shape that women may have had prior to having children or weight loss
- Create better symmetry between two unequal breasts
- Reshape and provide greater volume (with an augmentation) for those who feel that their breast size is too small

Added Support for Elevated Results
Breast augmentation with lift reshapes and repositions the breasts, and some patients benefit from additional support to maintain that lifted result. An internal bra, using absorbable mesh like DuraSorb or GalaFLEX, can act as a scaffold inside the breast to reduce the risk of bottoming out or tissue stretching over time.
-
DuraSorb offers a temporary internal support system. Its monofilament design is absorbable over a shorter period, making it an excellent option for patients who need brief reinforcement while their tissue heals and strengthens. While FDA-approved for soft tissue support, use in the breast is considered off-label.
-
GalaFLEX is engineered for a more gradual absorption timeline and is better suited for patients who may need prolonged support due to tissue laxity or previous surgery. It provides a firm yet flexible internal matrix that works with your body’s natural healing. As with DuraSorb, GalaFLEX’s use in the breast is off-label.
