Breast Lift with Augmentation

If you have lost breast volume or have loose skin, a breast lift combined with breast augmentation can yield a firmer, more youthful-appearing breast. Dr. Edwards strives to minimize scars as much as is possible however he will be honest with you in providing you with the rationale for his suggested surgical procedure.

Do I Need Breast Lift With My Augmentation?

There are varying degrees of breast ptosis, or sagginess. As your breasts develop as a young woman they are typically perkier because the overlying skin has not been stretched from weight gain or pregnancy and the underlying supportive tissue has not been stretched. If you lose weight or stop breast feeding, many times the skin does not shrink back to its original shape leading to breast sagginess. This stretching or sagginess will determine if you need a lift or not. Some women need smaller lifts for correction, while other cases require a full lift or mastopexy. This description will cover the commonly described ptosis grades to help you better understand what you may need in terms of a breast lift. The best way to know is to meet with Dr. Edwards where you can verbalize your goals and then an examination will be performed to see just what your grade of ptosis is.
