After pregnancy, breastfeeding, significant weight loss, or if age or genetics is a factor, women may find themselves contemplating cosmetic plastic surgery to change the appearance of their breasts. While there are several treatments available that can deliver results to create well-rounded and firm breasts, how do you choose which procedure is best for you?
A Breast Lift or Breast Implants?
Breasts lifts and augmentation are two of the more popular procedures for cosmetic breast enhancement. Deciding which of these will benefit you involves understanding your goals, and what each procedure can accomplish.
Breast Lift: A breast lift improves the shape of the breasts by raising them and removing loose skin, which can also increase firmness. Breast lifts are ideal for women who are satisfied with their cup size but want to restore the shape and position of their natural breasts.
Breast Implants: Breast augmentation, or breast implants, is a procedure for women who are dissatisfied with the size of their breasts. Some women, especially after pregnancy and nursing, experience deflated breast size. Others may notice a significant cup size difference as a result of genetics. In these situations, breast implants improve the appearance and symmetry of breasts by replenishing fullness and creating balance.
Breast implants will not resolve drooping or sagging skin, and a breast lift will not increase cup size. If you are experiencing both of these issues, then breast augmentation as well as a breast lift would be highly recommended.
Is Breast Enhancement the Right Choice for You?
Only you know if breast enhancement is right for you. Breast enhancement can be life-changing and help you regain a level of confidence that you may be missing since a pregnancy or experiencing the natural aging process. If your breasts have taken on a longer, flatter, or less-shapely appearance over the years – or if you’ve struggled with hereditary asymmetry for years, cosmetic breast surgery can help you meet your aesthetic goals. If you have questions about a breast lift or breast implants, call Dr. Eric Minns at our Lubbock, TX cosmetic plastic surgery office for assistance.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Ever since I started working on losing weight, I've been considering the eventuality of how my body will look once I reach goal. I know there's going to be a LOT of extra skin (there already is, and I still have a ways to go). I still haven't decided, but being able to look at other people's experiences is very helpful. I searched for topics regarding Tummy tuck in the Philippines and so far this link gave me the best information.
