If you answered mostly..

A’s: This definitely sounds like you are more in the breast augmentation only category. Breast Augmentation may be perfect in women who are just trying to enhance what mother nature gave them! Adding an implant into a breast will provide additional volume making a woman more proportionate with a stunning self-confidence to match!

B’s: You may be a person who can undergo just a breast augmentation or combine it with a lift as well. For this particular woman it may be a little tougher making a decision. Some women find that they can handle an implant to provide the perk they need and avoid additional scarring. Or they may find that doing just the breast lift will perk up their breast volume making it firm and natural without the need to add an implant. And still there are many happy women each year that do undergo both surgeries at the same time for total breast fulfillment.

C’s: It sounds like you are happy with your cup size, but may appreciate some breast modifications! Mastopexy, also known as breast lift surgery, is a great way to uplift the breast and/or nipples to create a more youthful breast appearance. There are many different types of breast lift surgeries and different incision decisions to make. Read more on our website to help get a better understanding of which one is best for you!
