If you are uncomfortable with your body image and self-conscious because you have small, sagging or uneven breasts, breast enhancement could be the answer for you. Different surgical procedures are available to you depending on what it is you want to achieve. Consult with your board-certified plastic surgeon to find out which procedure or combination of procedures is right for you.
Benefits of a Breast Lift
During the aging process, the skin’s natural elasticity decreases, and gravity begins to alter the shape and appearance of your breasts. When should you consider a breast lift?
- When you have sagging breasts due to changes in your weight
- When you are no longer happy with the placement of your breasts due to pregnancy or breastfeeding
- When the tissue surrounding the nipples or areolas has become stretched
If you are happy with the volume of your breasts but unhappy with the position, a breast lift may work for you.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation
You may have naturally small breasts. Or, you may have experienced a decrease in breast tissue due to weight loss or fluctuating hormones. There is little you can do naturally to increase the size of your breasts. If you want bigger breasts, a breast augmentation is a good solution for you. Some patients may seek the enlargement of both breasts, while others may seek to correct breasts that are asymmetric.
Which Is the Right Procedure for You?
Breast augmentation focuses on breast size and shape. It will not correct drooping breasts. A breast lift on the other hand primarily focuses on breast position. It will not increase the size of your breasts. You may have a combination of issues to address. If you want to get fullness in your upper breasts and reposition sagging breasts and nipples, you may want to do both procedures at the same time.
For the best outcome, take the time to discuss your goals with your doctor. Only a board-certified plastic surgeon can tell you which option is best for you.
