Cosmetic breast surgery is among the most popular procedures for women looking to gain confidence in their appearance. Perhaps you are considering a breast surgery because your breasts are sagging, uneven, or not your ideal size. It can be tricky to know whether a breast list or augmentation is the best solution to bring you the results you envision. In some cases, women actually go through with a lift and augmentation in one procedure. But how do you know which is best for your specific situation? Talk to your cosmetic surgeon, of course, but these tips below can give you a head start in determining your path to the perfect chest.
Possibility #1: You’re perfectly happy with the size of your breasts. You don’t need them bigger or smaller. You’re just unhappy because pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight change, and/or Mother Time’s Evil Gravity have taken a toll on the firmness and perkiness of your breasts. Your solution is a breast lift. A lift will lift your breast tissue and remove excess skin so that your breasts sit higher on your chest. The end result will have your breasts looking firmer, younger, and perkier.
Possibility #2: Not only are you unhappy with the sag of your breasts, but you also wish they were larger. Your solution is a combined breast lift and augmentation, which will give you firmer, fuller, perkier breasts of your chosen size.
Possibility #3: You don’t have a problem with the sag or direction of your breasts, and you aren’t bothered by excess skin. You just wish they were bigger! Then a standard breast augmentation is right for you. Your breasts will have the same appearance, just larger.
Whichever choice makes most sense for you, talk thoroughly with your cosmetic surgeon to make sure you understand everything involved in the process. It’s a long recovery road, but it’s worth it when you have breasts you are proud of for the rest of your life.
