What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is designed to enhance the size and shape of your breasts using implants. This procedure is ideal for those looking to increase volume, correct asymmetry, or restore fullness lost due to weight changes, aging, or pregnancy.
Patients can choose between silicone and saline implants, each offering unique benefits. Silicone implants are known for their natural feel, while saline implants are often praised for their adjustability. The highly customizable procedure allows you to work with your surgeon to select the implant type, size, and placement that aligns with your vision.
One common concern is whether implants will look natural. At Somenek+PittmanMD, we use advanced techniques to create results that enhance your natural proportions, ensuring a beautiful and balanced appearance.
What is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift focuses on reshaping and lifting the breasts to a higher, more youthful position. This procedure is often chosen by those with sagging breasts caused by aging, weight fluctuations, or breastfeeding.
Unlike augmentation, a lift does not involve implants. Instead, it reshapes the existing breast tissue and removes excess skin to achieve a firmer and more elevated look. For patients who want both volume and lift, a combination of breast lift and augmentation can provide the best results.
A frequent question is whether a lift alone can provide the desired fullness. While a lift improves shape and position, it does not significantly increase size, which is why some patients opt to combine it with implants.
How to Choose the Right Procedure
Choosing between breast augmentation and a breast lift depends on your aesthetic goals:
- Choose augmentation if you want to increase breast size and volume.
- Choose a lift to correct sagging and achieve a more youthful contour.
- Consider both if you desire larger, fuller, and more lifted breasts.
During a consultation, our team will assess your goals, anatomy, and lifestyle to recommend the best solution for you.
