Women who experience pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and natural aging often find that their breasts begin to lose firmness and elasticity. In order to regain a more youthful breast contour, breast lift surgery or breast augmentation surgery may be performed.

The best way to determine which procedure is most appropriate is by visiting a qualified plastic surgeon. He or she can evaluate your breasts, body shape, and discuss your ideal outcome in order to recommend a suitable surgical plan. Some patients may benefit from undergoing one of the procedures, while others may be better candidates for a combination of both.

Newer techniques in breast lift surgery can help patients achieve an elevated appearance using their own breast tissue. This method, called the NaturaBra breast lift, would eliminate the need for breast implants, as well as reduce the risk of rejection. When performing this technique, the surgeon uses the breast tissue to create an internal bra, which will help support the breasts in their new position. However, this procedure may not be suitable for all patients and should therefore schedule an appointment with an experienced surgeon.
