You know you want a little help enhancing your curves, but you’re not quite sure if a breast lift, breast augmentation or both might give you the results you’re looking for. If this sounds like you and you’re stuck on the breast lift vs. breast augmentation debate, use this guide to help you decide.
When a Breast Lift Is Right
If you’re happy with the overall size of your breasts but are concerned about ptosis, or sagging, a breast lift on its own may be the best solution for you. During a breast lift, Dr. Koehler removes and tightens loose skin, resulting in a firmer, lifted look and feel.
Because a small amount of tissue is removed during this procedure, some women notice that their breasts appear slightly smaller after a breast lift.
When Breast Augmentation Is Right
If you’d like to increase the size of your breasts and aren’t concerned about sagging, breast augmentation will likely be the better choice. During your consultation, Dr. Koehler will help you decide what size, type and profile of implant will best help you achieve your goals.
When to Combine a Lift with Implants
Silicone breast implants are the most popular choice for many women, but there are benefits to both silicone and saline.
A combination breast lift and augmentation may be the most appropriate option if you’d like your breasts to be repositioned higher on your chest and you want to increase their size. Keep in mind that many women who get breast implants choose a subtle size increase — breast augmentation doesn’t necessarily mean dramatically large breasts.
If you’re considering breast enhancement and still have questions, schedule a consultation with Dr. Koehler to help you decide which procedure(s) could be right for you.
