Understanding the Difference Between Breast Augmentation and Breast Lift Surgery

When it comes to achieving a more youthful, fuller breast appearance, many patients initially believe that a BREAST AUGMENTATION alone will address both sagging and volume loss. However, in most cases, that’s not the full solution. If a patient has noticeable sagging (or ptosis), simply adding an implant won’t lift the breasts or correct the drooping.

For patients experiencing sagging, a BREAST LIFT (also known as a MASTOPEXY) is typically the most effective option — this procedure removes excess skin and reshapes the breast tissue to restore a firmer, more lifted contour.

If you’re also looking for increased volume along with a BREAST LIFT, a BREAST IMPLANT can be added to achieve both a more youthful position and enhanced fullness. In short, if you have both sagging and want more volume, a combination of a BREAST LIFT and IMPLANT is often the best solution to achieve a balanced, natural look.
