Breast Augmentation or a Lift: Which is Right For You?

Human bodies undergo numerous changes throughout their lives. This is especially true for women who bear children and breastfeed. No matter what their size, breasts tend to droop, deflate and lose their youthful look. If you’re thinking about undergoing cosmetic breast surgery, you’re probably wondering if they need a lift (its medical term is mastopexy), more volume (implants) or both. 

At the office of MOSA Surgery, our knowledgeable and experienced team is made up of experts who specialize in all aspects of plastic surgery. You will receive personal attention, guidance and care throughout the process. From your consultation to your post-procedure care, our team of authorities will ensure your comfort and desired outcome. 

Consider these three main factors as you make your decision. 

Nipple position: If your nipples slant down or are situated below your breast crease, a lift may be up your alley. Drooping tissue or the loss of size can make the nipple/areola shift, elongate or enlarge. A lift will shift the nipple/areola closer to its original position. 

Volume: Losing weight can make breasts flat or smaller. Also, the passage of time or pregnancy and breastfeeding can enlarge but then deflate breasts. Implants can bring back shape and volume, as well as smooth out lax skin.

Size: Surgery to enlarge or correct asymmetrical breasts is among the most common cosmetic procedures. During the consultation with your plastic surgeon, she (or he) will describe your implant-size options. You can even simulate the results of the variety of implant sizes, which will be extremely helpful when selecting your choice. 

And speaking of choices, you can decide to have a breast lift and a breast augmentation simultaneously. Doing so will likely save you time and money. 

MOSA Surgery knows that when your transformation is complete, you’ll be able to step out into the world with new confidence like never before. To find out how we can give you the look you hope for, please call today for an appointment.
