Breast implants with or without breast lift

Breast implant surgery may be performed concurrently with breast lift, or the two procedures may be done separately. Pregnancy and subsequent breastfeeding usually change the size and shape of a woman's breasts. You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in breast augmentation and breast lift surgery to discuss the possibilities as well as the pros and cons of each procedure.

Goes Lift is best for you!

Implants do not lift breasts, they only make them bigger and more saggy. A goes lift will lift the breasts without affecting the nipple sensation or ability to breast feed. I would advise against the implants and go for the Goes lift.

Breast l ift and possibly aug

Every patient is a bit different with regards to your question. An augmentation and a lift may be done before or after having children. It really is a matter of preference. But, after having children, the breasts may sag and may require a revision. I suggest you go for a consult to be evaluated. Good luck.

Need a lift and aug

If you need a lift and an augmentation to look your best, you need a lift and augmentation. You never know how long it will be before your first pregnancy and you want to feel good in your body now and for as long as possible. You may need the lift tightened after pregnancy. Consult a board certified plastic surgeon.

Breast lift and breast implants

It is not reasonable to expect a definitive answer to your question without photos or a face to face examination. The answer depends on what is the minimum degree of improvement as well as the maximum amount of skin scar you are willing to live with and your current condition. The greater the severity of breast drooping the more important it is to get a breast lift vs. breast augmentation. If you are planning to have children within 2 years it is probably not a good idea to have any... more

Breats Lift, Breast Aug, which came first.

Hello, This is a relatively common question among women who have a need for both an augmentation to replace lost volume as well as a breast lift to shape and tighten the breast tissue envelope. The good news is that there is no wrong answer in terms of sequence of procedures. You can have both procedures (aug and lift) done at the same time, aug first, or lift first. If you are planning on having children and currenlty simply want to have better upper pole... more

Get a consult first

You think you need a lift and augment. See a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation first. You need to be examined before deciding on what you need.
