WALNUT CREEKThere’s a world of breast lift options waiting for you out there – but if you’re not sure which one is right for your needs, you’re not alone.
That’s why we’re examining how patients can determine if they should get a breast lift with or without implants.
The Answer Depends on Your Desired Results
Ultimately, the determining factor to combine your breast lift with implants is your desired result.
Here’s why: the breast lift surgery is designed to help correct sagging issues that may have arisen due to breastfeeding, hormonal changes from pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or even just getting older. The breast lift helps “lift” the position of the breasts to a more youthful placement, but doesn’t focus on adding size or correcting symmetry issues associated with breast volume.
So what are the signs you’ll be happy with just a breast lift, or if you should add implants to your breast lift surgery?
Signs You Should Get a Breast Lift Only
- You’re unhappy with the positioning of your breasts
- You feel as though your breasts are drooping or sagging
- You have excess skin around the breast region
- Your nipples point down to your feet, rather than out in front of you
- You’re happy with the current volume of your breast tissue.
- You’ve been done with breastfeeding for at least six months
