Are you considering breast surgery and wondering whether implants or a lift are right for you? This is a popular concern from patients at Tannan Plastic Surgery, especially as factors like age, breastfeeding, pregnancy, and weight changes can alter the appearance of our breasts.

Breast implants, placed during a common procedure called breast augmentation, are designed to increase the volume and size of your breasts. This surgery makes breasts look and feel fuller, firm, and perky. However, it’s important to understand that breast augmentation does not treat sagging tissue that hangs or points down.

On the other hand, a breast lift, or mastopexy, lifts and reshapes hanging, sagging breasts by tightening the skin around it to give a more youthful appearance. Women who are content with their breast volume when wearing a bra but unhappy with their sagging breast tissue without one are ideal candidates for a breast lift.

If you are looking for both increased volume and a lift for hanging tissue, breast implants can be placed at the same time as a breast lift. This approach combines both in one plastic surgery procedure.

Embarking on breast surgery is a deeply personal choice, and it’s best made with the guidance of a board-certified plastic surgeon. As a female plastic surgeon who is also a mother, Dr. Tannan brings a special kind of understanding to her work.
