Breast Augmentation: For Fuller, Rounder Curves

If your main goal is to increase breast size, improve projection, or restore volume lost from aging, weight changes, or pregnancy, breast augmentation may be the right choice.

  • Increases volume
  • Enhances size and shape
  • Uses implants (saline or silicone)
  • Ideal for adding roundness and fullness

Whether you’re looking for subtle enhancement or a dramatic transformation, augmentation allows for customization based on your body type and personal goals.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy): For a Youthful, Elevated Shape

If you're happy with your breast size but want to correct sagging or improve breast position, a breast lift can create a more lifted and youthful appearance.

  • Reshapes and repositions the breast
  • Removes excess, stretched skin
  • Improves firmness and contour
  • Ideal for changes after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging

This procedure restores the breasts to a more aesthetically pleasing position without significantly changing their volume.

Augmentation, Lift… or Both?

Some patients benefit most from one procedure, while others achieve their ideal look with a combination of augmentation and lift. Combining both allows for increased volume and lifted shape, perfect for those experiencing both volume loss and sagging.
