Breast Lift vs. Breast Enhancement Surgery in Toronto

Toronto plastic surgeon Dr. Wayne Carman is one of Canada`s most highly respected cosmetic surgeons. Two of Dr. Carman`s most commonly requested procedures are breast augmentation and breast lift surgery and he welcomes consultations with women who have questions about breast surgery.

Dr. Carman works closely with you to determine which breast surgery procedure will provide you with the best results, based on your aesthetic goals.  He suggests that when you schedule your initial consultation, you should prepare for the conversation by thinking about the following questions, which will help Dr. Carman determine which type of breast surgery is right for you:

• Are you content with the size of your breasts?
• Are you content with the feel or firmness of your breasts?
• Are you content with your breast size and shape after pregnancy?
• Are you content with the position of your nipples?
• Do you want the top half of your breasts to look fuller?

When should I choose breast augmentation?

Dr. Carman`s Toronto breast augmentation patients want to:

• Increase the size of the breasts
• Restore volume loss due to weight change, pregnancy, or genetics
• Correct the proportions of breasts that are asymmetrical [of unequal shape or size]

If you`re unhappy with the appearance of your breasts, then you may be an appropriate candidate for breast augmentation surgery. This procedure can help you achieve fuller, firmer breasts and increase their overall volume.

When should I choose a breast lift?

A breast lift - which is a different procedure than an augmentation or enlargement - raises drooping breasts and returns them to a more youthful position. It is often an effective procedure for women who want to reduce sagging caused by pregnancy, gravity, or time.

A breast lift can be most effective for women whose main concern is the position of their nipples. Your nipple position on the breast mound will often be the deciding factor as to whether or not you will need a breast lift. If your nipple is below the inframammary fold (the fold beneath the breast), you are most likely an ideal candidate for a breast lift. Your nipple placement will be evaluated during an examination performed at your initial breast surgery consultation in Toronto.

Breast lift with breast augmentation

In some cases, Dr. Carman may recommend a breast lift in conjunction with breast augmentation to provide maximum effectiveness. Often, these procedures complement each other, offering you the best placement and youthful appearance for your new implants.
