What is a Breast Augmentation? Breast augmentation continues to be one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in the United States.

What is a Breast Lift? A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a procedure that does not involve the process of putting in implants. This procedure is used to lift and tighten the breast tissue that you have, so that your breasts have a more natural and appealing contour and shape. As women age, pregnancy, and other factors can cause your breasts to sag, droop, and leave you feeling less confident. The breast lift surgery will help lift up the tissue so that your breasts appear firm, perky, and younger looking. Can I get a breast augmentation and breast lift simultaneously? A Breast augmentation does not correct severely drooping breasts. If you want your breasts to look fuller and to be lifted due to sagging, a breast lift may be required in conjunction with breast augmentation. A breast lift can often be done at the same time as your augmentation or may require a separate operation. Your plastic surgeon will assist you in making the best decision for your body.
