A breast lift raises the position of the breasts on the chest wall and improves their shape to make them rounder, firmer, and more uplifted. Breast augmentation increases the size and volume of the breasts, which can also improve their shape and appearance, but in different ways. If your most significant source of dissatisfaction with your breasts is their sagging shape and the dropped position of the nipple, a breast lift is probably what you need. If you would like to have larger, fuller breasts, then augmentation may be the answer.
In your consultation with Dr. Bresnick, he will recommend the treatment that will best help you achieve your goals for your body. For many women, that’s a combination of a breast lift and breast augmentation. Dr. Bresnick can perform both procedures in the same surgical visit, minimizing recovery time. Or he may recommend a breast lift with breast reduction if breast sagging is the result of overly large breasts that cause you discomfort and make you self-conscious.
