Choosing to undergo breast surgery is a highly personal decision, and at Gold Coast Plastic Surgery, our commitment is to provide you with information to make informed decisions. A common question during consultations revolves around the choice between breast lift surgery, breast augmentation, or a combination of both. In this exploration of options, we’ll delve into the nuances of Breast Lift vs Augmentation. Dr. Doyle‘s expertise takes centre stage, empowering you to make informed decisions tailored to your unique preferences throughout this exploration of options.
Unveiling Breast Lift Surgery
Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, is tailored to address sagging tissue and refine the overall shape and projection of the breasts. Various factors, including pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, and aging, can contribute to breast ptosis. The procedure involves removing excess skin and reshaping the remaining tissue to achieve lifted breasts.
This procedure involves repositioning the nipple to a higher placement on the chest. As a result there will be a scar around the nipple, and vertically down towards the breast crease.
Exploring Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is designed to enhance breast volume and shape only. This option is particularly suitable for those seeking increased breast size or recovering lost volume post-pregnancy or from breastfeeding. Unlike breast lift surgery, augmentation involves the use of implants to achieve the desired fullness and projection.
This cosmetic procedure will result in a scar in the crease underneath the breast. The size and shape of implants is up to your personal preference and also selected to be suitable with your body.
Decoding the Combination: Breast Augmentation and Lift
If you’re dealing with both breast size and sagging concerns, it may be worth considering a dual option. Combining breast augmentation with a lift is a comprehensive procedure that addresses both issues simultaneously. This approach can result in increased size and projection, as well as firmer skin. The combined surgery involves both strategic implant placement and lifting of the skin.
This procedure will reposition the nipple to be higher on the chest, remove any excess sagging tissue and add volume to the breast. The size and shape is up to you. As a result you will have scars underneath the breast, around the nipple, and vertically down the breast.
