Women who are planning their breast augmentation often ask whether adding a breast lift to their procedure could be beneficial. If this is the case for you, take a look at these three times when you might want to add a breast lift to your implants.
-
After Pregnancy
Although many women notice that they actually increase cup sizes during pregnancy and breastfeeding, you may experience loss of breast fullness afterward. The increase in size can permanently stretch the ligaments holding the breast onto the chest wall. This can lead to a sagging or deflated appearance.A breast lift repositions your breasts, while implants can help give you that boost of volume you’re looking for.*
-
As You Age
Along with the natural aging process can unfortunately come breast ptosis, or sagging. As we age, the amount of collagen and elastin in our skin begins to decrease, which contributes to this effect. So if you’re considering breast implants at this stage of life, adding a breast lift may be an appropriate solution.*
A breast lift changes the position of your breasts, while an augmentation addresses breast size.
-
If Asymmetry Is a Concern
While no one’s breasts are 100 percent perfectly symmetrical, some women experience much more pronounced asymmetry than others. In some cases, adding a lift to your breast augmentation can help to address asymmetry and achieve a smoother, more uniform look.*
If you’re still unsure about whether or not adding a breast lift to your implants could be right for you, schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and options.
