Breast volume, size & lift
Augmentation, lift and reduction address different questions about breast volume, position and size. A single procedure, separate stages or no procedure may fit the discussion; a combined operation is never assumed.
What to know
- Implants or fat transfer can add volume; a lift addresses position and excess skin; reduction makes breasts smaller.
- Breastfeeding and future pregnancy questions belong with your clinician. Implants require a separate discussion of risks and future care.
- Nonsurgical body-contouring devices are not an equivalent breast treatment; FDA has not cleared or approved them to treat breasts.
