Sagging Breasts - Breasts Lifts and Implants are the Solutions

Plastic surgeons often deal with sagging breasts while they are seeking breast augmentation. People mistakenly believe that implants can lift sagging breast. The only thing implant can do is to make the breast fuller. It cannot change the position of the nipple on the breast. You can easily understand the difference by looking at different before and after photographs of patients who had breast augmentation in the profile or lateral views.

Breast sagging also known as Ptosis is basically the position of nipples that relates to the crease of the lower breast. It happens when the nipple drops down lower and crosses or touches the crease of the lower breast. At this point, satisfactory result will not be produced by breast implants. The implant can make the breast fuller, tighter and give it a nice shape, but the nipple will still be at the lower half of the breast and would point in a downward direction.

Women having saggy breast often ask a question that why they should not only opt for breast lift alone as they may not need a breast implant. What they need to understand here is that by having a lift only the breast will be reshaped and the nipple will be positioned higher on the chest wall, but a lift will surely not make the breast larger and tighter. In some cases, the breast might actually make the breast look smaller than before, though they become much better in shape.

Breast lifts also known as Mastopexy is a part of an augmentation procedure. A new cosmetic deformity is created by scars is balanced against the sagging that it is replacing. A balance can be achieved, but it is highly influenced by the level of sagging in the breast. It would be a tough decision to make, if the breast is very low hanging.

A combination of Mastopexies and breast augmentation can be different and depends on the level of lifting is needed to be done. A certain amount of scar and lifting may sound ideal, but the level of lifting largely depends on the patient’s willingness to accept the number of scars.

The burden of the scars should be rightly balanced against the severity of the sagging. By using the implants, the sagging breast can be operated to lessen the level of breast lift required. Large breast implants will not help to lift the position of the nipples to the appropriate amount, but will fill out the loose skin. In Mastopexies, the more scar is produced the nipple is automatically lifted upwards to a great extent.

In some cases of breast augmentations, the level of sagging is much better than any type of a mound scar. In other cases, women desire to improve the sagging is more and scars are usually acceptable. It is important to give proper education about scars in Mastopexies.
