Breast Lift vs. Breast Augmentation

    PHOENIX, AZ, July 25, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With new surgical techniques being developed every year, there are now a variety of options for patients who want to improve the appearance, size, and shape of their breasts. Surgery can seem like a scary or daunting option before you learn all the information about your surgical options, so here is some explanation of two popular breast enhancement surgeries--breast augmentation and breast lift (mastopexy).

Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation surgery is the most widely known breast enhancement surgery, which involves placing a saline or silicone-filled breast implant inside the breast to increase size and improve shape. There are various placement options for breast implants--submuscular, subglandular, and others.

If you are dissatisfied with the size of your breasts, or simply want a curvier, fuller figure, breast augmentation with either saline or silicone breast implants may be the option for you. Both types of breast implants have been approved for use by the FDA. Though older types of silicone implants were once considered unsafe, newer silicone implants have been approved and used for years.

Take the time to review some photos online from a breast augmentation results gallery to see the results other women with your body type and breast size have achieved. Use the photos to visualize yourself after surgery to help you decide if breast augmentation surgery is right for you.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Another type of breast enhancement is breast lift surgery, which restores a youthful, perkier shape to breasts that have begun to sag as a result of pregnancy or gravity alone. By itself or in combination with breast augmentation surgery, breast lifts have helped thousands of women regain the figure they used to have.

Breast lift surgery can be an attractive option, especially for older women who worry about the safety of getting breast implants. In fact, breast lift surgery can make the breasts appear larger without implants, especially for women with sagging breasts.

For either breast augmentation or breast lift surgery, choosing the right plastic surgeon for you is very important. Be sure to select someone qualified and experienced in performing whatever procedure you choose. You may even choose to have your breast enhancement procedure in a sunny vacation destination like Phoenix, Arizona.

Breast lift or breast augmentation surgery may be right for you. For more information, please visit Phoenix breast enhancement surgeon Dr. Paul Angelchik online and schedule a consultation at www.doctorangelchik.com.
