Yes, a breast lift can be safely combined with other procedures like breast augmentation (to add volume) or breast reduction (to remove excess tissue) depending on your goals. Combining procedures is common and can create more balanced, long-lasting results in a single surgery.

However, doing both together may slightly increase the recovery time, surgical duration, and cost, since it’s a more extensive procedure. The risks don’t necessarily increase if performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, but post-operative care and follow-up become more important.

Your surgeon will assess your skin quality, breast tissue, and desired outcome to decide if a combined approach is suitable for you.
