Depends on anatomy: Implants will add volume and help with breast shape. A breast lift will remove loose skin and reposition the nipple and areola. So it really depends on what you need. The best thing is to have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to review your anatomy and discuss your options.

Depends...: Which operation will achieve your goals will depend on your physical examination and your specific goals. Breast lifting will elevate your breasts on your chest wall; the use of implants will increase breast size/fullness. I would suggest you meet with board certified plastic surgeons, ask to see lots of examples of their work, and communicate your goals clearly. Goal pictures may be helpful. Best.

Breast Aug ; Lift: Seek a consult with an american board of plastic surgery certified surgeon experienced with these procedures. If you are happy with your breast size then a lift is what you need. If you want larger breasts or more fullness then you will need an augmentation as well. A combined breast aug ; lift is a more technically difficult operation usually with slightly higher revision rates.

Perennial question: adding an implant helps upper breast fullness last- usually more or less indefinitely. But a large device is heavy and so works contrary to the lift. Solutions include staying with a smaller textured device that's not too high-profile, adding mesh or separating the procedures.

Hi! You can actually combine both procedures. While it elevates your breast to a much better location, a breast lift alone can remove and tighten breast skin and often results in a decreased volume of tissue. This can be corrected with the addition of breast implants.
