Most women who opt for this treatment are looking for both improved skin firmness and an increase in cup size. A breast lift alone won’t increase the volume of the breasts. Dr. Waltzman also discourages women with sagging breasts from solely undergoing augmentation because the weight of the implants could worsen the drooping. Adding an implant to a drooping breast could also mean the implant won’t look centered if the rest of it sags below the breast fold. To get around these limitations, women who have unique concerns choose a comprehensive treatment plan.
In general, patients should also be in relatively good health before undergoing cosmetic surgery. Patients should also have realistic expectations for what their procedure can and can’t do.
