Do I Need a Breast Lift or Breast Augmentation?

Woman in white bra with natural-looking breast enhancement in Salt Lake City, UT If you don’t love your breast size or shape, or they aren’t quite as perky as they used to be, you should know you have options. When considering breast surgery, you may wonder: Do I need a breast liftbreast augmentation, or both? The answer depends on your anatomy, aesthetic goals, and the specific concerns you hope to address.

With extensive training in cosmetic surgery, Dr. Dunkley delivers personalized care that prioritizes safety, natural-looking results, and patient confidence.

Breast Lift: Correcting Sagging and Restoring Shape

A breast lift (mastopexy) addresses sagging, drooping, or deflated-looking breasts, often caused by aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. During a breast lift, Dr. Dunkley eliminates excess skin, reshapes breast tissue, and repositions nipples for a more youthful and uplifted appearance.

If your primary concern is sagging (ptosis), but you’re satisfied with your current breast volume, a lift may be all you need. It won’t significantly increase size but will restore a firmer, perkier contour.

Breast Augmentation: Adding Volume and Fullness

Breast augmentation uses implants (or fat transfer in some cases) to enhance breast size, fullness, and projection. This procedure is ideal for women who feel their breasts are too small, asymmetrical, or have lost volume over time.

If your breasts sit in a good position on the chest but you want more size or roundness, augmentation alone may meet your goals. Implants can also create upper pole fullness (fullness at the top of the breast), which many patients desire.

When Both May Be the Best Option

Some women benefit from a combination of both procedures. For example, if you have sagging along with volume loss, combining a breast lift with implants can restore youthful shape and size simultaneously. This approach can be done in a single surgery for comprehensive results, saving time and cost.
