Is breast lift or breast augmentation better for a mommy makeover?

Doctor's Answer

The better one is the procedure the fixes your problems.

Women who have gone through pregnancy and breast feeding may experience changes such as enlarged nipples and areola , sagging , drooping , lost of volume and breast asymmetry.

All of the above can be fixed. But to answer your question specifically:

The aim of breast augmentation is to increase volume. Especially when implants are used (as opposed to fat) there is usually a slight lifting effect too!

A breast lift reduces excess breast skin to make the breast more pert and puts the nipple in the correct position (no longer pointing at the floor).Very often areola reduction is done together with breast lift.

The 2 procedures can also be combined - this is known as an augmentation-mastopexy. This is THE most difficult procedure in all of aesthetic breast surgery. The judgement of how much lift, what size implants, whether it should be done in one surgery or staged is a matter of experience and judgement.

I would suggest the best way to go about this is to begin with the end results in mind.

Put some thought about what size you would like to be and how much lift would be pleasing to you before going for a consultation.
