Breast Augmentation or Breast Lift? Which is Right for Me?

In today’s day and age, there is really no need to be unhappy with the shape or size of your breasts. With both breast augmentation and breast lift surgeries available, any issues you may have with your breasts can easily be corrected. Breast augmentation surgery is meant to remedy different issues than breast lift surgery. Read on to learn about these differences to help determine which surgery is right for you.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation surgery is meant to increase the size of the breasts with implants. Popular implant types include silicone, saline, and gummy bear. During your consultation with Dr. Azouz, he will help to determine which type of implant is best for you. You will also need to determine the breast implant size, and whether you would like the implant to be placed above or below the muscle. If you are worried about drooping in your breasts, breast augmentation may not be the correct surgery for you, as a breast lift is meant to correct sagging.

Breast Lift

If you are experiencing moderate to severe drooping in the breasts, a breast lift is the choice for you. A good indicator of drooping breasts is when the nipple is at the bottom of the breast, or points downward. A breast lift can also reduce the size of the areola, if desired. It is important to understand that a breast lift cannot increase the size of the breasts; only a breast augmentation can increase breast size. A breast lift is meant to restore perkiness to the breasts.

Of course, breast augmentation and breast lift surgery can be combined to achieve both an increase in breast size as well as restore perkiness. If you are interested in breast augmentation or breast lift surgery in Dallas, TX, contact us today to schedule a consultation.
