What is a breast lift versus getting implants?

Lift vs Aug: Breast lift reshapes the breast by essentially retailoring the tissues fo the breast. Augmentation is enlargement by way of an implant. Sometimes because of the increased volume that a implant provides, the position of the nipple may appear higher.

Two differnt things: A breast lift reshapes the existing breast by cuttjng and sewing. Implants increase the volume of the breasts but do not repositon the tissues.

Lift vs Implants: A breast lift (mastopexy) is used to reshape the breast and make it appear youthful. The nipple is raised to a higher position and the droopiness (ptosis) of the breast is corrected. Implants enlarge the breast and the resulting nipple location is changed very little. Additionally, an implant can provide longer lasting upper pole breast fullness which a mastopexy cannot achieve. Dr-cooper.Com.

Very Different.: Breast lifting surgery involves changing the breasts' position/shape on the chest wall. Breast augmentation (implants) is an operation used to increase breast size. Sometimes both operations are necessary to achieve a specific patient's goals.

Not interchangeable: If you need a lift, implants alone will not suffice. The decision to add implants your lift is based on desire for more volume.
