Augmentation Mastopexy | Carolina Face & Body

Augmentation mastopexy is a highly specialized procedure designed to restore breast volume and elevate sagging tissue in a single surgery. At Carolina Face & Body, this dual approach blends breast lift (mastopexy) and augmentation techniques to create a refreshed, natural silhouette that honors your body's journey. Led by Dr. Kayla Humenansky, the Midlands' only private practice female plastic surgeon, every procedure is rooted in the philosophy of restoration—not transformation.

Whether you are a mom seeking to reclaim pre-pregnancy contours or someone who has experienced changes after weight loss, augmentation mastopexy addresses loss of volume, ptosis (drooping), and asymmetry with artistry and precision. Dr. H and her all-female clinical team prioritize subtle, organic results that enhance your confidence without sacrificing your unique identity. Located in Chapin, SC near Lake Murray, the practice serves patients from Lexington, Irmo, Columbia, and the greater Midlands region.

Your journey begins with a thorough, judgment-free consultation where your goals, anatomy, and lifestyle are considered. Carolina Face & Body's integrated wellness model means your surgical plan also supports long-term body longevity, with options for pre- and post-op physical therapy to optimize healing and results.

Choosing the right surgeon for augmentation mastopexy is critical for safety, aesthetic excellence, and peace of mind. Dr. Kayla Humenansky is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon and the only private practice female plastic surgeon in the Midlands. Her approach is defined by clinical integrity, technical mastery, and a deep understanding of the female form—making her uniquely qualified for complex combination breast procedures such as augmentation mastopexy.

The Carolina Face & Body team, including CRNA Brittany Dietz, ensures the highest level of surgical safety with hospital-grade anesthesia protocols in a clinic setting. Every patient receives individualized care, honest communication, and a surgical plan that balances your desire for volume, lift, and symmetry. Dr. H's signature techniques include the use of "internal bra" support, advanced incision patterns (lollipop, anchor, or periareolar), and a meticulous eye for natural-looking results.

Unlike high-volume med spas, Carolina Face & Body provides a private, supportive environment where your comfort, confidentiality, and long-term health are prioritized. This is why women across Chapin, Lexington, and Columbia trust Dr. H for their most intimate restorative procedures.

Your experience with augmentation mastopexy at Carolina Face & Body is designed to be seamless, empowering, and deeply personal. From your first consultation to your final follow-up, you are guided by Dr. Humenansky and her team—experts in both surgical artistry and post-surgical wellness.

During your consultation at our Chapin location, your breast shape, skin quality, and personal goals are assessed to determine the ideal combination of lift and augmentation. Dr. H will discuss implant types (saline, silicone, or fat grafting), incision options, and the degree of lift needed to achieve your desired outcome. Every detail is tailored to your anatomy and your vision of natural beauty.

Pre-surgical planning may include weight management support or physical therapy to optimize your recovery. On the day of surgery, your comfort and safety are ensured by our all-female surgical and anesthesia team. After surgery, our integrated approach continues with detailed aftercare instructions, access to medical-grade skincare, and, if needed, physical therapy for a confident return to daily life.

Patients often remark on the difference that Dr. H's compassionate, transparent care makes throughout the process—a hallmark of the Carolina Face & Body experience.

Augmentation mastopexy is ideal for women who want to restore youthful breast shape and fullness after pregnancy, breastfeeding, significant weight loss, or simply as a result of aging.

Candidates should be in good general health and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. At Carolina Face & Body, every patient is treated with empathy and respect—whether your motivation is to reclaim your confidence after motherhood, balance asymmetry, or correct changes from previous surgeries.

Dr. Humenansky's approach is never about chasing trends or dramatic transformations.

The result: subtle, refreshed contours that feel authentic and empower you to move forward with confidence.
