Do I Need a Breast Lift or Breast Augmentation?

Lubbock plastic surgery

You decided you want to make changes to your appearance, but you’re not sure which breast procedure is right for you. In Lubbock, plastic surgery procedures are carefully explained and planned by Dr. Rowley, so you have the best experience and result from the options you choose.  Whether you want a breast lift, augmentation, or combination of breast procedures, the choice you make depends on a variety of personal needs and cosmetic goals.

Breast Lift

A breast lift will reposition your nipples to a more upward placement. Skin is tightened to reshape the contour of your breast. This procedure gives you a more youthful look and shape but doesn’t increase breast volume. A breast lift refreshes the appearance of your breasts but doesn’t change their size or reposition the nipples.

Breast Augmentation

Implants are intended to increase the size of your breasts. You can choose from a variety of implant sizes, shapes, and materials to get the particular desired look that fits your expectations.  Having implants adds volume to sagging breasts but also adds more weight to stretched skin that is already not supporting breast tissue well.

If you only have mild sagging, implants will give a lift to your breasts. But, if you have more severely sagging breasts, you can discuss the option of implants with a breast lift with your doctor.

Combination of Breast Procedures

Some women will choose a combination of breast procedures. If your breasts have lost volume and show significant sagging, a combination of breast lift with implants can better help you improve your appearance. You can enjoy the benefits of a lift with repositioned nipples and excised extra skin while you also add volume to your breast size.

Ask yourself these questions and discuss your goals with your doctor to better decide which procedure or combination is right for you.

  • Do my nipples point down or out?
  • Am I happy with the size of my breasts?
  • Do I like the fullness of the upper part of my breast?
  • How bad is the sagging of my breast?

An individual consultation is important along with clear communication with your doctor. Dr. Jane Rowley feels the more you know about your procedure and the better she understand your goals, the better your experience will be; that’s why Dr. Rowley is the trusted surgeon in Lubbock for plastic surgery.

How a Breast Lift can Refresh your Appearance

Plastic surgery Lubbock

So many factors affect how our bodies look, including our breasts. Some factors we have more control over than others. But, when your appearance and your breasts just aren’t looking the way they used to here are some of the reasons why:

  • Genetics
  • Age
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
  • Exercise
  • Weight fluctuations
  • Lifestyle

There’s not much we can do about our genes, but they are the biggest factor in the appearance of your breasts. Genes affect breast tissue density, skin tone, and the shape of your breast. The aging process is constant. Hormone levels, skin tone, and muscles change with age and have an effect on our appearance whether we like it or not. A woman’s body is undeniably and permanently changed with pregnancy and breastfeeding. Significant weight gain or weight loss can leave your breasts sagging and stretched looking. Lifestyle choices, like smoking or exercise, can have either a negative or positive effects on your appearance.

What can you do to improve and refresh your appearance? With options offered with plastic surgery, Lubbock women can take some control over their appearance.  

Benefits of a Breast Lift

With over twenty years experience with breast lift procedures, Dr. Jane Rowley has been helping women in Lubbock improve the appearance of their breasts. By tightening loose skin and reshaping breast tissue, a breast lift can refresh the look of sagging breasts. If your areolas are larger and stretched from previous pregnancies, a breast lift will reduce their size and reposition your nipples to a more upward position. Breasts that are asymmetrical can have a more identical look with plastic surgery. Lubbock breast lift patients can also choose to have their procedure done in combination with implants or a breast reduction. A breast lift can refresh your wardrobe choices and allow you to wear sundresses, tank tops, and new outfits without a bra.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Rowley carefully discusses your options and clearly explains the expectations of your surgery. Who knows? When you have your new look, you might find your posture improves too, as you stand a little straighter with the added confidence in your new look.

Are There Other Ways to Contour my Body and Improve my Appearance Other than Surgery?

Breast implants

A group of friends was having lunch when one of those women said she was getting breast implants after years of shopping for bras in the children’s department. Another woman said she was so deathly afraid of needles, doctors, and surgery that breast implants might not be an option for her. That fear didn’t mean she doesn’t want to improve her appearance or wouldn’t mind making some cosmetic changes to her body. So, what are the non-surgical cosmetic options available?

Laser Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing improves the appearance of your skin by carefully removing layers of skin with a pulsating beam of light. Resurfacing procedures treat:

  • Acne scars
  • Sun damaged skin
  • Age spots
  • Crow’s feet
  • Fine lines

Non-surgical Fillers

Dermal fillers are a rejuvenation treatment that restore fullness to eyes, lips, and face. Injectable filler can’t do the same thing as an eyelift or facelift, but they can slow the effects of aging, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and improve the appearance of recessed scars. Restylane is a hyaluronic injection that also adds moisture to your skin for younger looking and feeling skin.

Non-invasive Fat Reduction

Sculpsure is a non-invasive fat reduction procedure that laser heats fat deposits to destroy unwanted fat cells. You can expect to reduce fat by 20-25% in the treated area. It offers a non-surgical option with no post pain or downtime for Lubbock patients who want options for body contouring but are not interested in surgery.
