HOUSTON, TX, July 29, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reports that almost 347,000 women had breast augmentation surgery and another 87,000 chose breast lift surgery annually. Like many of these women you may find yourself choosing between these two procedures, or choosing both. So, what do you need to know about
breast lift vs. breast augmentation to make your decision? According to one of the
leading U.S. plastic surgeonseach has unique goals, and the procedures are often combined to achieve an even more attractive curvature.
Goals of a Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery is designed to elevate drooping breasts and restore their youthful, perky stature. Gravity, pregnancy and weight gain have a way of stretching even smaller breasts over time. Weight loss may leave breasts less firm and a bit saggy.
Breast lift surgery involves elevating the nipples and tightening the breast skin to restore breasts to an attractive shape.
Goals of Breast Augmentation
The goal of breast augmentation surgery is to make your breasts larger or fuller. Women differ so vastly in shape, size and frame that a number of options have been developed that offer something for everyone.
You can choose from
-
Silicone gel or saline implants.
- Implant placement behind the breast tissue or behind the pectoral muscle.
- Various shapes and sizes of implants.
Goals of Breast Lift with Breast Augmentation
When a breast lift simply is not enough to restore a lovely, youthful shape, a breast augmentation is combined with the lift procedure to complete the transformation. The lift removes the excess skin and reduces sagging. The implant fills the remaining breast skin adding contour and fullness where minimal breast tissue is insufficient.
What Makes the Difference?
What makes the biggest difference in outcomes is that the most successful plastic surgeons use techniques that result in:
- Tiny incisions.
- No sutures to remove.
- Specialized instruments for accurate implant placement and minimal swelling.
- No bruising.
- Gentler breast implant recovery.
- Shorter healing periods.
- Less complicated recoveries (e.g., no drains or wraps to manage).
Some surgeons use certain
breast enhancement surgical techniques that make the difference between a spectacular breast surgery outcome and a mediocre one. They use the most current measurement techniques such as
3-D breast imaging that gives an accurate picture of how each option will change your appearance, taking much of the guesswork out of planning. Gone are the days of wearing a rice-packet-stuffed bra for several days to decide what size you would like to be.
