Breast Lift or Breast Implants, Maybe Both. Which Option Is Best for You

A woman may not be happy with the size, shape, tightness, and/or firmness of her breast, or may have sagging breasts and may therefore opt to undergo a cosmetic breast surgery such as a breast lift, breast implants, or both.

The breast lift procedure is also known as mastopexy, whereas the breast implants procedure is also known as breast augmentation. These are both elective cosmetic procedures that change the appearance, position, and size of the breast.

Breasts that have started to droop or sag, and have lost their firmness may require a breast lift procedure to reshape the breasts.

Breast augmentation includes the insertion of breast implants above or below the chest muscle, thus giving more shape and volume to the breasts.

Both breast lifts and breast implants when performed separately, or together help in the enhancement of the size and appearance of the breasts.

The breast implant and breast lift surgeries may sometimes be performed together. However, depending on your case, your surgeon may also opt for two separate surgeries with some time in between for the healing process. 

The surgeon will explain all these things to you in the first visit itself during the consultation. In this article, we will be covering breast lift or breast implants, what works best for you, and what to expect during each procedure.

Do I need a Breast Lift?

A breast lift may be the solution to drooping or sagging breasts and restoring the shape of the breast. A breast lift is the only solution to reshape and reform the breasts and remove the extra skin from the breast.

A breast lift procedure may be opted by women having sagging breasts, or by women who want to reshape their breasts post-pregnancy and breastfeeding.

A simple home detection test to determine whether or not you require a breast lift is by checking the position of the nipple in relation to the breast fold. If the position of the nipple is below the fold, a breast lift procedure is your best bet.

A breast lift procedure will make the appearance of your breast similar to its appearance when supported by a bra. 

A breast lift will not increase the size of the breast, it will only reposition the breast tissue.

Do I need Breast Implants?

The breast augmentation procedure involves the placement of a saline or silicone implant into the breast, thus enhancing the volume of the breast and improving the shape of the breast. The results of this procedure generally last for many years.

Breast implants have become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in recent times.

The breast implant surgery may be right for you if you are suffering from an asymmetry of breasts, if you are not happy with the size of your breast and want to increase it, or you have lost a substantial amount of breast volume due to weight loss or pregnancy.

Although a popular choice for many patients, breast implants are not for everyone. Breast implants will increase the size of your breasts, but will not correct the sagging of breasts.

Do I need a breast lift or breast implants, or both?

The breast lift and breast implant procedures when performed together can reduce the overall cost of your treatment, reduce the recovery time after the treatment, and has the added advantage of undergoing a surgical procedure only once.

But, not all patients can undergo both these procedures together. Your surgeon will determine if you are the right candidate to undergo both these procedures together.

Generally, a breast lift and breast implant procedure are combined when:

-If one wants to correct the sagging of the breasts and also increase the size of the breasts.

-One is suffering from sagging and asymmetry of the breasts.
