Breast Lift vs. Breast Augmentation

Phoenix and Glendale, Arizona

Everyone has heard of breast implants and breast augmentation surgery, but now there are additional options for breast enhancement surgery. You can improve the look, feel, and shape of your breasts even without implants. It is tough to keep up with all the new surgical techniques, so here is a bit of information about the most popular breast enhancement surgeries, breast augmentation and breast lift.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation surgery is by far the most popular breast enhancement surgery. The surgeon places a saline or silicone breast implant either under the breast muscle or under the breast tissue. The goal of patients undergoing breast augmentation surgery is usually to increase the size of the breasts, though some want a more youthful shape or want to equalize unevenly-sized breasts.

Our goal is to help you get the figure you want, whether you are unhappy with your current breast size, or just want an even larger, fuller bust. Whether you choose saline or silicone breast implants, we want you to be happy with the results. Both types of breast implant are safe, and both are FDA-approved despite some rumors that silicone implants are unsafe. Silicone has been approved for use in breast implants for almost a decade.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

If your breasts have started to sag from the effects of gravity or pregnancy, you may be more interested in breast lift surgery, also called mastopexy. Mastopexy can bring back the perky, full shape your breasts had when you were younger. A breast lift is one way to regain your youthful figure, and can even be combined with breast augmentation for an even more amazing transformation.

Older women concerned about the safety of breast implants and breast augmentation surgery may find a breast lift to be an enticing alternative. Even though it does not involve implants, a breast lift can make formerly sagging breasts seem larger than before.
