Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. This can be done using breast implants (saline or silicone) or through fat transfer, where fat from another part of your body is injected into the breasts. The goal is to achieve a fuller, more balanced look that boosts your confidence and body image.

Whether you need a breast lift, or mastopexy, depends on your anatomy and the results you want to achieve. If your breast droop is very minor and you desire a natural look with a bit more volume, sometimes a small implant can achieve this without a lift. However, if your breasts look saggy or drooping and you want them to be higher and perkier, you will typically need a lift to reach your desired goal.

The recovery time after a breast procedure depends on the specific type of surgery and individual patient factors. Generally, most patients can expect to return to work within one to two weeks, especially if their job does not involve heavy lifting or strenuous activities. For more physically demanding jobs, a longer recovery period may be necessary.

In the first few days post-surgery, you might experience significant discomfort, swelling, and bruising, which can be managed with prescribed pain medications. By the end of the first week, most patients find that their pain and discomfort have significantly decreased.

In most cases, yes. The ability to breastfeed after a breast procedure, such as augmentation, reduction, or lift, largely depends on the type of surgery and the techniques used. Surgeons often take care to preserve the milk ducts and nerves involved in breastfeeding. However, it is important to discuss your breastfeeding plans with your surgeon during the consultation to ensure that the procedure is planned with your goals in mind. Each individual's situation is unique, so personalized advice from your surgeon is crucial.

A breast lift, or mastopexy, involves raising and reshaping sagging breasts to create a firmer and more youthful appearance. It primarily addresses issues of sagging and positioning without changing the size of the breasts.

On the other hand, a breast augmentation focuses on increasing the size of the breasts using implants or fat transfer. This procedure enhances the volume and fullness of the breasts.

While a breast lift aims to lift and firm the breasts, a breast augmentation aims to enlarge them. These procedures can also be combined to achieve both lifting and increased volume, providing a comprehensive enhancement of the breasts' appearance.
