What is a Breast Augmentation?
Breast enhancement procedures are some of the most popular types of cosmetics surgeries and make up a significant portion of the procedures performed at Gawley Plastic Surgery practice. Breast augmentation can be done to give you the breasts you’ve always wanted or help return your breasts to their former shape after weight loss or child birth. Breast augmentation can be also be helpful if you feel that your breasts are too small and out of proportion with the rest of your body. By adding more size or proportion, you can feel more confident, making clothes shopping more fun than you can imagine!
What is a Breast Lift?
As we age, our skin begins to lose its firmness and elasticity, which can result in sagging breasts and loss of tone and shape. In addition to the natural aging process, sagging breasts can also occur because of pregnancy and nursing. A breast lift can raise the breasts to a perkier, more youthful position. Our surgeons often performs this procedure as part of the ever popular “mommy makeover”.
Can You Get Both Procedures at the Same Time?
In the past, there was a philosophy that combining procedures could increase the surgical risks. But it is now usually accepted that related plastic surgery combinations such as breast augmentation and lift have no greater complication rates compared to staging the procedures. Most patients prefer to “go under” for one surgery rather than two, because it is both more convenient and cost effective. The results of combined breast augmentation and breast lift surgery are firmer, higher breasts at your desired size.
