Breast Lift with Auto-Augmentation in London










Breast lift with auto-augmentation — also called breast auto-augmentation or breast lift with flap augmentation — is a specialised procedure that combines a breast lift (mastopexy) with the use of the patient’s own breast tissue to add volume to the upper pole, implants.


Rather than using silicone implants to volume, the patient’s own lower pole breast tissue (a dermal or glandular flap) upward to fill the upper pole — producing a fuller, more projected upper breast from existing tissue. The procedure uses the same incision pattern as a standard ( or anchor), so no additional is created.


This technique is particularly appropriate for who want to remove their existing breast implants but wish to maintain upper pole without replacing them with new implants — and for patients wanting a modest volume with a lift using entirely their own tissue.


At Centre for Surgery, breast lift with auto-augmentation is by consultant surgeons on the GMC Specialist Register at our Baker Street facility under TIVA (Total Intravenous Anaesthesia). A cooling-off period applies after consultation.
