Breast Auto-Augmentation

Fullness, from within.

A breast lift restores the breast to a natural teardrop shape, repositioning the tissue and the nipple to a higher position and reducing an enlarged areola.

With auto-augmentation, a portion of your own lower breast tissue is repositioned to the upper breast to improve shape and fullness. It does not add new breast volume; it works with the tissue you already have.

Whether you have enough of your own tissue is assessed at consultation, where Dr. Kirwan will discuss whether a lift alone, an implant, or auto-augmentation best fits your goals.

Who it may suit

Goals worth discussing.

  • Drooping after pregnancy, weight change, or age

    Breasts can sag for many reasons, including weight change, pregnancy, breastfeeding, genetics, and gravity. A lift restores position and a natural teardrop shape.

  • Upper fullness, without an implant

    Auto-augmentation repositions a portion of your own lower breast tissue to the upper breast to improve shape and fullness.

  • Moving on from implants

    Where appropriate, implant removal can be combined with a lift or with auto-augmentation to restore a natural, balanced shape without new implants.

Candidacy depends on your history, anatomy, and goals, and is determined at consultation.

What is Breast Auto-Augmentation?

It is a breast lift in which a portion of your own lower breast tissue is repositioned to the upper breast to improve shape and fullness, without an implant.

Does auto-augmentation make my breasts larger?

No. It does not add new breast volume. It repositions tissue you already have to improve shape and upper fullness.

Do I have enough of my own tissue?

That is assessed at your consultation. Candidacy depends on your history, anatomy, and goals, and Dr. Kirwan will discuss whether a lift alone, an implant, or auto-augmentation best fits you.

Can this be done when my implants are removed?

Where appropriate, implant removal may be combined with a lift or with auto-augmentation. Whether that suits you is decided at consultation.
