Breast Uplift (Do I need implants as well ?)

Breast Uplift (Do I need implants as well as uplift?)

Breast uplift surgery is for women who wish to uplift and reshape their breasts for the following reasons:

• They suffer from uneven (asymmetrical) breasts

• Their breasts are affected by the adverse effects of age and gravity following pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight increase or loss

Whether you are a good candidate for breast uplift surgery is a question that can only be answered after a full consultation with your plastic or reconstructive surgeon. Determining factors are your age and health.

In general, the best candidates for breast uplift surgery are women who are:

• 18 years of age or older
• Not currently pregnant or nursing
• In good physical health
• Psychologically stable
• Wanting to improve their appearance
• Realistic in their expectations

Do I need implants as well as an uplift?
If your breasts are small or have lost volume - for example, after pregnancy -breast implants inserted in conjunction with breast uplift (mastopexy) can increase both their firmness and their size.

As well as pregnancy, over the years, factors such as breastfeeding and gravitational forces take their toll on a woman's breasts. The breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag. This is due to the skin losing its elasticity. Breast implants inserted in conjunction with a breast uplift procedure can provide a solution to these problems and result in a shapelier bust.

Tell me more about breast augmentation (implants)
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to cosmetically enhance the size and shape of a woman's breasts using implants. The insertion of prosthesis (breast implants) gives breasts a fuller and larger appearance.

This procedure is for women who wish to improve their breast size and shape because of:

• A wish to correct uneven breasts (asymmetry)
• A desire to regain or improve breast shape and size following significant weight loss or childbirth
• Dissatisfaction with their original breast size
• Correction of a congenital deformity of one or both breasts

Whether you are a good candidate for breast augmentation is a question that can only be answered after a full consultation with your plastic or reconstructive surgeon. Determining factors are your age and health.
