Do I need a breast lift, or implants, or both?

Breast augmentation surgery with implants will help with size, but it will not help women if their breasts sag or droop downward past a certain point. Some doctors may advise you to use implants to address sagging. This may achieve immediate results, but the additional weight causes the breasts to sag further. A breast lift is the only procedure that will lift the breasts to a youthful position on the chest. Implants may or may not be needed – many women like their natural size, and just want to restore the round, lifted, perky look of youth. In some cases, a combination breast lift and augmentation will approach. This procedure, called a breast augmentation with lift , achieves a reduction in sag and an increase in volume and projection. When no size increase is needed, a breast lift without implants is typically best. During your consultation, we will discuss whether a breast lift, breast augmentation, or a breast lift and implants will attain the best results.
