You’re not sure if you need a breast lift or augmentation? The decision is completely up to you. It depends on what your goals are and how important they are to you. Some women want to have perkier breasts in magazines, while others prefer their natural look and do not care about having bigger breasts. If it has been bothering you for a long time, the best thing for you would be to book an appointment with one of our doctors at Dr. Glasberg, M.D.  We will discuss how to decide if you need a breast augmentation or breast lift.

Your breast size

Do you want to increase or decrease the overall size of your breasts? If so, then a breast lift may be more appropriate for you. This will reduce sagging and make them look fuller than they currently do. Breast augmentation would be better suited for someone who wants to maintain their current measurements but adds volume by getting a breast implant or using fillers like Juvederm.

Your age

Women over the age of 40 might need to have a breast lift more often than younger women. As we get older, gravity can take its toll on our breasts and cause them to sag a little bit as they lose their volume. Breast augmentation or lift could increase your self-confidence because you will be able to wear clothing without worrying about your breasts sagging.

Your weight

The heavier you are, the more likely it is that your breasts will sag. Women who have a lot of fatty tissue in their breasts may want to consider getting a breast lift or augmentation because they will be fuller and perkier after surgery. Breast augmentation might work for someone with smaller breasts but wants them to look bigger on her frame.

Your goals

Do you want to feel better about your breasts and have a boost in self-confidence when wearing clothing? If so, then it’s worth considering both options. A breast lift will reduce sagging, but breast augmentation can give you the size you’re looking for while maintaining some perkiness. Or maybe what motivates you more is that you don’t want to be self-conscious when walking around in a bikini. Breast augmentation might make more sense for this concern because they will look and feel fuller than what they do now.
