Implants vs Lift: Breast implants are placed to increase the size and volume of the breasts. Breast lift surgery is performed to lift the natural breast tissue to a higher, tighter, more youthful position. The procedures can be combined to get the effects of both procedures - increasing the size of the breasts and filling the upper pole of the breasts, while also lifting the position of the natural breast tissue.

Specializes in Cosmetic Surgery

Implant vs Lift: A breast implant is utilized to increase the breast cup size and or improve volume in a deficient area of the breast especially the upper pole which can become deficient in women especially following pregnancies. A lift procedure is recommended for women who have adequate volume of tissue but it is sagging. The tissue is rearranged and the breast lifted higher on the chest to a normal position.
