Gravity, age, weight fluctuations, and genetics can lead to unfavorable changes in our breasts. After all, every woman deserves to look and feel her best, and sometimes it takes surgery to reach those goals. If you are interested in addressing your breasts, it may be helpful to know whether you need a breast lift, breast augmentation, or some combination of the two in order to achieve your desired look.
What is a Breast Lift?
Also known as a mastopexy, a breast lift is a surgery that improves the projection and ‘perkiness’ of the breasts. A breast lift can also reshape the breasts while also lifting them. In order to lift and shape your breasts, Dr. Dawli must tighten the skin and restore the breast nipple and areola, gland, and tissue. Individuals with sagging breasts due to aging, weight fluctuation and a variety of other factors are ideal candidates for a breast lift.
A breast lift takes between two and three hours to complete and uses your body’s own tissues to give you the youthful, full appearance you desire.
What is Breast Augmentation?
In contrast to a breast lift, a breast augmentation enlarges the breasts, creates cleavage, and shapes the breasts using implants. A breast augmentation is ideal for individuals who may have a naturally flatter chest and are looking to be bigger and enhanced. A variety of different implant options are available, each with their own pros and cons, depending on what you desire.
Which One is Right for Me?
As you begin thinking about the kind of breast improvement you are seeking, the first questions to consider are whether or not you currently just want a breast lift or if you are looking to increase your breast size or both? A breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation when you desire both larger and lifted breasts.
Of course, the best way to determine which procedure is best suited to your body’s unique needs is to schedule a consultation. Our team, led by Dr. Tamara Dawli, has experience helping women desiring breast lift or augmentation or a combination of both.
