Is A Combo Breast Lift And Augmentation Worth The Price?

It is an unpleasant fact that women have to face the unappetizing result of aging and gravity on their breasts. Breastfeeding and weight loss also takes their toll, resulting in sagging and drooping breasts. When her breasts become unattractive, a woman becomes self-conscious - embarrassed to undress in front of another.

There are numerous devices on the market that can push up a woman's breasts and make them look firm (at least with her clothes on). Uplifting bras designed to increase cleavage come with underwires, foam padding, and even gel inserts. She can have a sexy silhouette, and look and feel younger. However, when she takes off her clothes, she still has saggy breasts. Although these temporary uplifting items are crafted with the best of intentions, they just cannot provide the permanent results that a surgical breast lift can.

A surgical lift excises fat and loose skin on the breasts, then pulls the underlying tissue up tight beneath the nipple and areola and stitches it together. It creates a younger look because the breasts sit higher and perkier, no longer sagging or drooping. This is a permanent solution so a woman does not have to worry about being seen without her clothes.

Many women decide to combine a breast lift with breast implant surgery. It's an ideal combination for rejuvenating the breasts and creating a younger, sexier look. There are currently three types of breast implants available for American women. The saline and silicone gel implants are FDA approved. The silicone gel is the more popular of the two liquid-filled implants because the majority of people think the silicone gel feels and moves more like a real breast.

The cohesive gel implant, also known as the Gummy Bear implant, is not yet FDA approved. Unfortunately, it may be years before the FDA makes their final decision on its safety. It is filled with a solid mass gel - not a liquid. That means there should be no fear of leakage. In addition, it holds its shape no matter what the body position is. That means when the body is lying down - such as sunbathing - gravity doesn't affect the implant, whereas, the liquid in one of the other two implants would be pulled until it is as flat as a fried egg.

There are several different incisions a surgeon can use for a breast lift, depending upon how much fat and saggy skin will be excised. The surgeon will probably inform you which one he will use. If breast implant surgery is done at the same time, a larger incision will be needed.

If you are interested in having a permanent breast lift, you will find a lot of information online. Don't rely on that information for more than formulating questions you then take to an expert. In this case, the expert would be a plastic surgeon that is board-certified in breast lifts. Most surgeons do not charge for the initial consultation, so call one today. He will educate you on what can be done for you specifically, and show you realistic expectations of the surgery results.
