As a woman grows, her body goes through many changes that can affect the appearance of the breasts. From weight gain and loss to pregnancy and breastfeeding, the breasts can gain or lose volume and lose their youthful perkiness as gravity takes its toll. For many women, this means considering breast augmentation, the most popular cosmetic surgery in the United States. But is breast augmentation enough to achieve your desired appearance? For many battling changes in shape and sagging, adding a breast lift with breast augmentation gives you the full breast makeover you are looking for without needing multiple surgeries.
What Is Breast Augmentation?
A breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that uses breast implants to increase the size of the breast. Women choose this procedure to address lost volume, increase smaller breast size, and improve breast size asymmetry.
A breast augmentation addresses breast volume while a breast lift addresses the effects of gravity and aging, such as sagging and changes to shape.
What Is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift is a surgical procedure designed to address sagging and changes to breast size that often occur with aging. During this procedure, the surgeon removes excess skin and raises and reshapes the breast to achieve a more youthful, perky breasts.
Benefits of Combining Both Procedures
If you are looking to enhance your breast appearance, combining these two procedures can help you achieve an all-around enhanced appearance. Having the two procedures performed as one surgery offers many benefits, including:
- Enhanced Results – By combining the two procedures, you can boost the volume of your breasts while also reshaping and lifting for a more youthful appearance.
- Shorter Recovery Time – Combining both procedures allows for one recovery period instead of two.
- Less Scarring – While scarring is always possible with any surgical procedure, combining these two procedures means less incisions and fewer stitches, reducing the potential for scarring.
- Reduced Overall Cost – By combining these two procedures into one, you reduce the overall cost for anesthesia, operating room charges, and more.
For a complete breast makeover, combining a breast augmentation with a breast lift offers all-around enhanced results that often cannot be achieved with one procedure alone.
