Sagging breasts can drag your self-esteem down, too. At Beauty by Brueck, our esteemed board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Robert Brueck, understands how upsetting it is to feel unhappy with your breasts. Whether you’re struggling with sagging because of breastfeeding, aging, pregnancy, or weight changes, a breast lift could be a great way to restore your breast shape and firmness. But, what about breast volume? That’s a different story. A breast lift doesn’t increase volume, so it might not be enough for ideal results if you’re unhappy with your current breast size. In that situation, adding implants to your breast lift surgery could be the solution you’re looking for.
Understanding What a Breast Lift Can Do
A breast lift removes extra skin and reshapes breast tissue, then moves the breasts higher in the chest cavity. Dr. Brueck uses specialized techniques, such as the circumvertical or anchor incisions, to raise the nipple and areola to a more youthful position, improving the overall breast contour. This procedure is particularly beneficial if your breasts have lost their elasticity and begun to sag.
However, while a breast lift addresses sagging and reshaping, it doesn’t boost volume. During breast lift surgery, many women actually lose around one cup size of volume. If you’re satisfied with the size of your breasts but want to correct sagging, a breast lift might be all you need, especially if you’re fine with a small size reduction overall.
When to Consider Adding Implants
If you’re looking to enhance breast fullness and projection, you might want to consider adding breast implants to your breast lift surgery. Combining a breast lift with implants can give you a fuller, more voluptuous look. Implants are best known for adding volume, but they can also improve the symmetry, projection, and overall shape of your breasts.
Dr. Brueck can perform breast lift and augmentation at the same time, which means you only have to undergo anesthesia and surgery once to get the results you desire. During your consultation at Beauty by Brueck, Dr. Brueck carefully evaluates your goals and helps you decide whether a breast lift, breast augmentation, or a combination procedure is ideal for your goals. Factors like your current breast size, degree of sagging, and desired outcome will all play a role in determining the right approach for you.
