Now that you’re getting older and noticing age adversely affecting your breast shape, you may wonder if there’s anything you can do. If your formerly perky breasts seem slightly deflated, with nipples falling below the breast crease, a breast lift by Vancouver plastic surgeon Dr. Eric Pugash can rejuvenate your breast profile and restore them to a youthful and shapely location.
But will that be enough? Is the location of your breasts your only cosmetic concern, or do you need to add volume? Combining a breast lift with implants is not only a viable option, but also a popular one.
A Breast Lift Doesn’t Add Volume
Dr. Pugash performs a breast lift by tightening the existing breast tissue, removing excess skin, elevating the nipples, and reducing the areolas in proportion to your breast size.
By lifting breast tissue and removing excess skin, the breasts appear more youthful. Dr. Pugash can reshape them to achieve the desired firmness and uplift. It is important to understand that a breast lift alone does not increase volume or upper pole fullness.
What If You’d Like Smaller Breasts?
Dr. Pugash removes excess skin while repositioning breast tissue. He may also move fatty tissue from the lower breast to the upper pole to reduce sagging and deliver a firmer appearance.
Because of this redistribution process, the breasts may seem slightly smaller than before the operation, though the difference is usually minor. On the other hand, if you want your breasts to be perkier as well as fuller, a breast lift with implants could be the best option.
Breast Implants May Create Symmetry During a Breast Lift
Your breasts are sisters, not twins. One breast is often larger than the other. Adding implants to a breast lift can help create balance, so your breasts have a more symmetrical size and shape.
While implants can restore breast fullness and firmness after aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or hormonal changes have stolen volume, not every woman who would benefit from a breast lift needs breast implants. Women with sufficient breast size can achieve fuller breasts with a breast lift alone.
