Breast augmentation and breast lift surgery are both highly effective procedures designed to enhance the appearance of a woman's breasts, but they serve different purposes. Ideal candidates for breast augmentation surgery are women who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the procedure. If you’re looking to increase the size, shape, or symmetry of your breasts, breast augmentation may be the right choice for you. A good candidate should have fully developed breasts and not be planning to get pregnant in the near future, as pregnancy can alter breast appearance.

On the other hand, a breast lift, or mastopexy, is designed to address sagging or drooping breasts, often due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations. Women who have lost breast volume or elasticity may benefit from a breast lift, which repositions the breast tissue and reshapes the breasts to achieve a more youthful appearance. Ideal candidates for a breast lift are women who are healthy, non-smokers, and whose breasts have fully developed. In some cases, a combination of both breast augmentation and breast lift may be recommended for women who desire more fullness along with a lifted, youthful shape.

During a consultation, a board-certified plastic surgeon will assess your unique needs, discuss your goals, and determine the best approach, whether it's breast augmentation, a breast lift, or a combination of both. If you're seeking to improve breast size, shape, or firmness, these procedures can provide significant, long-lasting results. For plastic surgery in Century City contact us today
