How Adding a Breast Lift to Augmentation Can Improve Results

Breast lifts and augmentations can both significantly change the appearance of your breasts, but in different ways. If you want to boost volume while also adjusting the shape and weight of your breasts, adding a breast lift to your argumentation surgery can give you the perky, youthful results you’re hoping for.

At DiGeronimo MD Advanced Plastic Surgery in Doral, Florida, Dr. Ernest M. DiGeronimo offers both breast augmentations, breast lifts, and combination surgeries for women seeking to turn back time.

Breast augmentation vs. breast lift

Trying to decide if you want a breast lift, an entire augmentation, or both? Here’s what you need to know about the differences in these surgeries.

Breast augmentation

A breast augmentation is designed to give you larger breasts. Dr. DiGeronimo discusses what you are looking for when it comes to size, shape, and feel, then helps you pick out the appropriate type of implant for you.

The implants go under the tissue of your existing breasts, plumping and expanding their size from underneath. You can go up one cup size or several, and you can alway change your mind later and go up or down a size or more.

If your breasts still have upward pointing nipples and don’t hang down much or sag, all you may need is a breast augmentation to boost their size and make you feel confident.

Breast lift

A breast lift doesn’t add any volume. It does make sagging breasts look fresher and perkier by removing excess skin, shifting and resculpting your existing breast tissue, and repositioning your breasts higher on your chest.

A breast lift can also make your breasts look younger by making your areolas (the brownish circle around your nipple) smaller. Dr. DiGeronimo will reshape and tighten them so your nipples point slightly upward instead of pointing downward.

If you’re happy with how big your breasts are and just want a refresh, this implant-free surgery could be best for you.

Benefits of combining both procedures

If you have breasts that you wish were bigger, and you’re also experiencing sagging, downturned nipples, and other signs of aging, combining a breast augmentation and a breast lift can give you the complete breast makeover you desire, including:
