Myth: Breast Lift Surgery Results in Smaller Breasts
By admin | December 30, 2011
If aging has affected the quality of your breasts, causing them to sag and lose their once-youthful shape, you may be considering breast lift surgery. There is a myth, however, that should be addressed. Contrary to popular belief that breast lift surgery results in smaller breasts, Dr. Wilcox says that this is not true. It may create the illusion of being a smaller size because the shape has changed. The goal of breast lift surgery is not the same as breast reduction – to create smaller, less obtrusive breasts. It just so happens that the outcome from breast lift surgery may cause the breast to appear smaller, but an extensive amount of tissue is typically not removed.
Because many women fear appearing smaller after their breasts have been lifted and reshaped, it is common for those who undergo this procedure to opt for the insertion of saline or silicone implants as well. This will provide greater firmness and restore a full look or increase the size.
No matter the common thought or myth about a specific procedure, be sure to do your research and consult a qualified surgeon for insight. Viewing before and after photos are also important. If breast lift surgery is of interest to you, be sure to study results that feature patients who underwent this procedure with and without implants. This will help you make the best decisions regarding your body, and get an idea of which route will best meet your needs.
Dr. Wilcox and his staff ensure that every patient will receive the utmost in personal care and attentiveness. Please bring your questions regarding breast lift surgery with you to your consultation. Plano breast lift surgery specialist Dr. Wilcox welcomes your visit.
