Breast lift vs. breast implants
Here’s a quick look at the primary differences between a breast lift and breast implants:
- Breast Lift. A breast lift is a specific surgical procedure that involves lifting and reshaping the breasts. This can be done by removing any excess skin and repositioning the nipple and areola.
- Breast Implants. Breast implants are inserted directly under the breast tissue or under the chest muscles. They are used to add volume to the breasts. Breast implants come in a number of different sizes, shapes, and textures. The type of implant that is best for you will depend on your goals and your body type.
While both of these procedures are different, they can be done together for more dramatic improvement in the appearance of the chest.
What are the advantages of combining breast implants with a breast lift?
One of the main advantages of combining breast implants with a breast lift is that it can provide patients with a fuller, more youthful-looking bustline. In many cases, patients who undergo this type of surgery find that their clothes fit better, and they feel more confident in their appearance. Additionally, this combination surgery can often be completed in a single procedure, which saves time and money.
Another advantage of combining breast implants with a breast lift is that it can help to correct any asymmetry that may exist between the breasts. This can be an important consideration for many women who are self-conscious about their appearance. By correcting any disparities in size or shape, patients can achieve a more balanced look.
