Mastopexy with Implants Before and After Photos by Specialist Plastic Surgeon Dr Mark Doyle
Before and After Photo Gallery | Real Patient Before and After Photos
Breast lift with implant surgery is a surgical option for those who have minimal breast tissue, excessive breast skin, or skin laxity. Mastopexy with implants can increase the breast size, lift the nipples, increase the breast projection and also tighten the breast skin. The result is generally higher breasts, with an increased volume and firmness.
Dr Doyle uses the ‘Lollipop’ breast lift technique, to achieve optimal results. This technique can create a more rounded breast shape and also assists in firmer breasts, with less excess skin.
If you’ve had children, breastfed or lost a lot of weight over the years, this surgery can assist in reducing the skin laxity of the breasts, whilst increasing their shape, projection and volume. As shown above, in Specialist Plastic Surgeon Dr Doyle’s before and after photos, this procedure is also used to lift the
What to Look for In Before and After Plastic Surgery Photos – Mastopexy with Implants
It’s important to remember your anatomy is unique when reviewing before and after-surgery photos. Actual patient photo galleries can help you to identify a cosmetic surgeon’s skill and experience. To make the most out of your gallery viewing, here are some tips on what to look for:
1. Search for ‘Before’ Photos Which Look Similar to You
Comparing someone else’s pre and post-surgery images won’t be beneficial if they have smaller, larger, higher or lower breasts than you. By searching for patient photos with a similar breast shape and size to you, you can begin to compile your preferred surgery ‘after’ photos.
Take note of patients with similar features to you and assess whether you would be pleased with their post-surgery results. This will help you to gain an understanding of what is realistic for your body.
2. Look for Consistent, yet Varied Results
Skilled surgeons have the ability to adapt their surgical technique and outcome to each patient. When searching through before and after photos look for results that complement the patient’s unique features. The shape of the breast should never be changed so dramatically, that it is unrecognisable. It should just appear as an increased volume of the ‘before’ photo.
3. Improved or Maintained Symmetry
Before and after photos of real patients with medically diagnosed breast asymmetry can assist you in determining the skill of the surgeon. This is due to different amounts of breast tissue, which require lifting on each different breast. The ‘after’ photos should always appear more symmetrical than before surgery.
4. Strategically Placed Scars
When you are looking at each surgeon’s before and after real patient galleries, note what the patients’ scars look like – particularly their size and location. While variation is expected, Specialist Plastic Surgeons are trained to place incisions in the natural folds of the skin, or where they can be easily concealed by clothing.
Gold Coast Specialist Plastic Surgeon Dr Doyle’s preferred surgical technique is to lift breasts using a lollipop technique (an incision around your areola/nipple complex with a vertical scar extending down from the areola down to the breast crease), where suitable. This allows him to reposition the nipple after excess fat and breast tissue is removed. The breast implants are then inserted through the vertical incision.
5. Learn to Recognise New vs. Final Results
Some surgeons take ‘after’ photos sooner than others, sometimes as soon as 4 – 8 following surgery. These early after photos can give the impression of subpar results. Some signs of ‘too-fresh’ results include:
- Conspicuous scars that are still bright pink or red
- Breasts sit high on the chest after breast augmentation
- Visible swelling, skin discolouration, or asymmetry
If you like much of that surgeon’s work, but notice that many before and after photos look like they may be ‘too fresh,’ ask the surgeon when the patients’ photos were taken. In general, ‘after’ photos taken 6 months or more after surgery will give you the best indication of how a patient’s final results will appear.
6. Ask to View Before and After Photos During your Consultation
Many patients have surgical results and are happy to show them, although, they just prefer that they are not posted on the internet and only shown in person. Therefore, as well as viewing before and after breast lift with implants photos online, ask to view real patients before and after photo galleries during your plastic surgery consultation too.
Mastopexy with Implants Recovery
You will likely need 2 – 3 weeks off work to ensure a quality recovery. Gold Coast Specialist Plastic Surgeon Dr Doyle will provide you with post-operative care instructions, which you should follow precisely, to ensure you are not straining your wounds and for an optimal recovery journey.
You should also follow Dr Doyle’s best practice cosmetic surgery recovery tips, which include an adequate wound-healing diet and more information about the use of supplements. It’s important to do your research before undergoing surgery, to ensure you know what is normal and what is not with your recovery. Therefore, you will know when to get in contact with Dr Doyle, should questions or concerns arise.
What Are The Risks Involved?
Over the years, surgical techniques have advanced to a point where risks have become lower, provided your surgery is performed by a qualified Specialist Plastic Surgeon in an approved hospital. Dr Doyle performs all surgeries at John Flynn Private Hospital near the Gold Coast airport.
However, there are risks associated with every form of invasive surgery. When it comes to surgery, you should be aware of all the potential risks and complications associated with the procedure. With the appropriate planning and preparation, these risks can be minimised. Potential risks related to breast lift and implants include scarring, changes in nipple or breast sensation, nipple loss, asymmetry, and/or difficulty breastfeeding (although quite rare). In the case of breast implant surgery, there is also the possibility of complications related to the breast implant, such as rupture, rippling, or capsular contracture. Please note, that smoking will dramatically increase the risk of surgery complications.
These complications can mostly be avoided by following Dr Doyle’s strict post-operative instructions. Download our procedure guide or read our General Risks of Surgery page to learn more.
Breast Surgery Pricing
How Much Does a Breast Lift with Implants Cost on the Gold Coast? Plastic Surgery Prices and Fees
Since every patient has a different anatomy, the price of breast lift and augmentation surgery will differ too. Some of the elements that are included in the final cost include the breast implants, as well as the hospital and anaesthetist fees. When performed as a cosmetic procedure, mastopexy-augmentation may not attract a Medicare rebate. However, in cases of severe ptosis, it may attract a Medicare rebate. The ideal way to receive a more accurate estimate of what you can expect to spend on breast augmentation is to schedule your initial consultation with Dr Doyle.

Breast Lift & Augmentation FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions About Mastopexy and Implant Surgery
How Can I Tell if The Patient’s Results Are Good if The Before and After Photos are Low Quality?
Posture, poses, lighting, shading and camera distance are all elements that affect the outcome of before and after photos.
It can be easy to judge a photo if you think, for example, the patient’s breasts aren’t high enough, after a breast lift. Instead of glancing, take a closer look. You may notice the patient’s shoulders do not align, the patient may be slightly hunched forward in the after picture, the camera may be closer/further away, or the angle of the image may be different.
Once you can recognise these things, you can become an expert at examining real patients before and after photos, regardless of how the images are taken.
Is Breast Lift with Implants a Single Surgery or Two Surgery?
Specialist Plastic Surgeon Dr Mark Doyle recommends performing a breast lift with implants procedure together, as it can result in a quicker recovery and in some cases a smaller out-of-pocket cost.
How Long Will my Breast Lift with Implants Results last?
Generally, most patients enjoy the results of their breast lift surgery for many years. The results of the breast lift itself may last upwards of 10-15 years, while breast implants can last anywhere between 10 and 25 years.
Can Breasts Become Lower After a Breast Lift?
Over time the skin can become lower again and the breasts may start to drop. This is a result of skin laxity, age and gravity. Weight gain and pregnancy will also cause breast skin laxity.
What is The Lollipop Breast Lift with Implants Technique?
A ‘Lollipop lift’ is a surgical technique used within breast lift surgery. It is an incision, which is made around the areola/nipple complex, with a vertical scar extending down from the areola to the breast crease) where suitable.
How is The Breast Implant Inserted in Breast Lift with Implants Surgery?
Within breast lift surgery, the breast implant is inserted through the vertical scar and is placed above or below your pectoral muscles, depending on the surgeon’s recommendation and surgery plan.
Where is The Scar for Mastopexy (Breast Lift) with Implants Surgery?
Generally, the scar for a breast lift surgery is placed around the edge of the areola and down the middle of the lower breast.
Are The Scars Large?
Breast lift with implants scars can easily be hidden by bras, swimsuits and clothing.
If you are worried about scarring, it is vital to remember all cosmetic surgery has scars, although, scars will fade over time. There are also specific steps you can take to keep scarring to a minimum. It is recommended to keep your incision sites protected from harmful UV rays, even after they’ve healed. Patients can also use silicone gel sheets and massage techniques, as a way to reduce scars after surgery.
