Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the country today. Women of all ages are constantly looking to improve their breast size, shape, volume and perkiness. Some of the most common groups of women Dr. Greenwald sees in his practice are moms in the 35-45 year old range.
“Many women consult with me to enhance their breast size, or to regain their pre-baby or pre-weight loss breast shape” says Dr. Greenwald “It is important to determine whether a breast augmentation is enough, or if a breast lift (with or without an augmentation) will also be necessary”. In simple terms, a breast augmentation is creating a pocket either above or below the breast muscle and then inserting a breast implant into the pocket before closing the incision providing additional give breast size/volume. A breast lift removes excess skin minimizing sagging and providing a more perky appearance. For many women, a breast augmentation and lift can be combined to remove sagging skin and enhance volume in one surgical procedure.
How do you know which procedure is best? Although there are plenty of non-scientific tests women can take at home, the best way to know whether a breast augmentation and/or breast lift is right for you is to visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for a consultation. “I assess the desired outcome of each individual patient, so I can help them understand which option will deliver optimal results.” says Dr. Greenwald.
