How to Know if You Need Breast Lift Surgery

While many women are unhappy with their breasts, most are unsure about the actual procedure(s) they may need to look their best, be it breast lift surgery, breast implants or both

Breast Implant Surgery Alone

If a patient is seeking more breast volume and fullness, breast implants alone may be the perfect solution for women with small breasts or a “flat chest” with just a hint of droopiness. For women with noticeable breast drop, implants alone won’t correct sagging because they can’t actually lift the breasts back to their youthful position.

Breast Lift Surgery Without Implants

In contrast, breast lift surgery is exactly what is sounds like. During surgery, sagging breast tissue and nipples are lifted to regain a more youthful posture on the chest. If a woman is happy with her overall breast size and just wants to correct what gravity has done, breast lift surgery is the right choice. However, a breast lift won’t add volume to the upper pole of the chest or increase breast size.

Breast Lift Combined with Breast Implants

Combining the best of both procedures, breast implants paired with breast lift surgery may be the right answer for many women. Sagging breasts are raised for a more buoyant look and implants are placed to enhance the upper pole’s fullness creating a more voluptuous appearance.

The Most Common Reasons for Breast Lift Surgery

Sagging Breasts are the result of gravity, age and aggressive athletics that result is sagging nipples sitting under the breast crease on the chest.

Hereditary Sagging means a woman was born with breasts that would never stand up to time due to family genetics. Surgery is the only solution to achieve the chest profile their body deserves.

Weight Loss can cause sagging of the breast tissue or make breasts appear out of proportion compared to a slimmer figure. Surgery can size and lift breasts appropriately to suit a woman’s new body.

Pregnancy can overly stretch a woman’s skin and create sagging breasts, which can be countered with surgery to lift and tighten the breast tissue.

Good Candidates for a Breast Lift Surgery

A woman’s confidence can be impacted by how she feels about her body. A personal consultation with Dr. Ali in his Troy, MI office can answer questions about the benefits of having breast implants, breast lift surgery or the possibility of both. Here are a few physical issues to look for that might help make the decision to have breast lift surgery easier:

When wearing a bra, the patient is still unhappy with the way her breasts appear in size and shape. If a new push-up bra doesn’t deliver the right image, it could be time to talk to Dr. Ali about a breast lift.
Are the patient’s nipples drooping below the natural crease on her chest? A more youthful appearance can be restored with breast lift surgery.
Gravity has pulled the patient’s nipples downward, along with her sagging breasts. A breast lift can restore perkiness along with a more toned chest appearance.
