A Breast Lift Could Be Better than an Augmentation

A breast lift can be an ideal procedure for anyone who is not satisfied with their appearance due to sagging breasts. Many women visit us wanting to learn more about a breast augmentation because they want to improve the shape and appearance of their breasts. This is a fantastic reason to visit but this is not always the right procedure to solve the problem.

A breast augmentation is ideal for women whose breast tissue is not sufficient to create the size of breasts that they are looking for. For example, a woman with a size A breast that wants a full C cup would need augmentation because the current breast tissue would need to be augmented or added to.

A breast lift is a more appropriate procedure for a woman that has sufficient tissue. In other words, if the breasts are sagging or too low, they need to be lifted up. There is no need to add additional breast tissue because there is already enough to work with. It simply needs to be raised and shaped in order to give the appearance that a woman desires.

This procedure is common for women who:

• Have had children
• Breast-fed their children
• Have lost a lot of weight
• Have difficulty keeping muscle tone
• Have watched their breasts droop with age
• Have overly large breasts for their frame

Women of all ages can benefit

Each body is different and even younger women can benefit from this procedure if their breast tissue is sagging and not in the right position. This procedure is one that we perform on women of all ages. Typically, it is more common for a woman to want this procedure after having children or when they are more mature.

Recovery process

This is a full surgery and as such, it is important for any woman who is considering it to plan for taking some time off work to recover. We recommend taking a week off if possible but can discuss this in further detail during a consultation. It is also important to be aware that it will take time to be able to do things like exercise or engage in any rigorous activity. Because of that, many women choose to have this procedure when their children are old enough to walk without being carried and when they can take a little bit of time off of work.

The results of a breast lift can be truly stunning. We have witnessed women who were very insecure about their appearance to become incredibly confident and pleased with what they see when looking in the mirror.
