Breast Lift vs. Breast Augmentation Surgery
If you are dissatisfied with the size and/or shape of your breasts, you are not alone. In fact, most women would like to change their breast size, shape, or cup size! In 2020 a study conducted by the University of London looked at 18,541 women from 40 nations around the world – finding that 71% of women are not happy with their cup size, and 47% of women wished they had larger breasts.
This is the reason that breast augmentation is the most popular plastic surgery not only in the United States, but also worldwide. But navigating the options for breast enhancement procedures can be overwhelming, especially when considering the differences between breast lift and breast augmentation (implant) surgery. And with so much conflicting information on the internet it can be difficult to decide what breast enhancement procedure(s) may be right for you.
In this article, renowned Birmingham, MI board certified breast augmentation surgeon Dr. Ali explains the difference between breast lift and breast augmentation surgery, including who is a good candidate, details of the procedures, and the how pre-surgery Vectra 3D computer imaging offered by Dr. Ali can help you choose the surgery that is right for you.
Breast Augmentation Surgery
Both breast lift and breast augmentation surgery offer transformative and truly life-changing results for women. But understanding who is a good candidate for each, can help individuals make the best and the most informed decisions.
Breast augmentation surgery, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. This surgery involves the placement of implants to increase breast volume and achieve the desired aesthetic outcome. Dr. Ali specializes in Breast augmentation surgery in Birmingham, MI, offering personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs and goals.
Ideal candidates for breast augmentation surgery include individuals seeking increased breast volume or projection (how far the breasts point outward from the chest wall0, or improved breast shape. Breast augmentation surgery is ideal for patients with naturally small and/or asymmetrical breasts – as well as those who have experienced volume loss due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. Breast augmentation surgery is also an excellent option for women looking to enhance their overall body proportions for a more balanced silhouette.
Breast lift Surgery
Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, is a procedure aimed at lifting and reshaping the breasts to address sagging or drooping. This surgery involves removing excess skin, tightening the surrounding tissue, and repositioning the nipple and areola to create a more youthful and lifted appearance. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali in Birmingham, MI, is highly skilled in performing breast lift surgery – helping patients achieve higher, firmer, perkier breasts.
Ideal candidates for breast lift surgery include individuals with sagging or drooping breasts caused by factors such as aging, pregnancy, or weight loss. This procedure is suitable for patients whose nipples point downward or fall below the breast crease, as well as those with stretched or elongated breast skin. Women seeking to restore a more youthful and uplifted breast appearance can achieve remarkable results with breast lift surgery.
Combining Breast Lift & Breast Augmentation Surgery
In some cases, patients may benefit from combining breast lift surgery and breast augmentation surgery to address both volume loss and sagging. This combined approach allows for comprehensive rejuvenation of the breasts, restoring volume, shape, and position simultaneously. Dr. Ali offers customized treatment plans that may include a combination of both procedures to achieve optimal results for patients in Birmingham, MI.
