Cosmetic Breast lift and breast reduction are two common cosmetic plastic surgeries used for breast enhancement by plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael J. Brown, MD. Cosmetic breast lift surgery and breast reduction surgery are actually very similar plastic surgery operations. In both the breast lift and breast reduction surgery, plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael J. Brown, MD, will strive to raise the overall position of the breast mound and both also will reposition or lift the nipple and areolar tissue to a higher and more youthful position on the breast mound. The major difference between a cosmetic breast lift surgery and breast reduction surgery is that a breast reduction plastic surgery will reduce the overall breast volume and make the breast mounds smaller. A breast lift surgery does not necessarily require that any breast tissue be removed. In fact, during some cosmetic breast lift surgery, plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael J. Brown, MD will also place breast implants for breast enlargement.

A woman requesting to have her breast mounds lifted (breast lift) to a more youthful position can be a common request for plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael J. Brown, MD. There is sometimes a misconception that repositioning the loose breast mound will not only result in a higher positioned breast mound but will also make it feel firmer. Unfortunately, breast lift surgery and breast reduction surgery operations do not improve the firmness of the breasts. There is no way to improve the firmness of the breast mounds (in the US) other than using breast implants (breast augmentation). Patients that understand this are very pleased with the cosmetic breast lift and breast reduction plastic surgery. Breast lift surgery performed by plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael J. Brown, MD, will allow some women who were self-conscious about their breast shape and position, to feel better about themselves afterwards.

Despite this, the breast lift surgery risks are important to consider. The scars from the breast lift surgery incisions associated with breast lift surgery and breast reduction surgery may be similar depending on the techniques used to perform these two plastic surgery virginia operations.

Breast Lifts with Breast Augmentation

Some women requesting a more youthful breast position or cosmetic breast lift procedure are also in favor of making their breasts larger and fuller. Breast implants used during a breast augmentation surgery make breast larger, fuller and firmer. When combining surgery, the breast augmentation and breast lift surgery can result in breast mounds that are in better position on the chest wall and feel firmer. The breast lift surgery and breast augmentation plastic surgery procedures result in better positioning and is achieved in two ways. First the nipple-areolar tissue and the breast gland are raised by plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael J. Brown, MD, to a more aesthetically pleasing position and the shape of the mound is improved by the placement of the breast implants by plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael J. Brown, MD. Breast lift surgery with breast augmentation typically require less incisions. The risks of cosmetic breast lift surgery and cosmetic breast augmentation surgery risks carry the risks and benefits of both of these plastic surgery operations.

Occasionally, a woman will only require a one sided breast lift surgery. This occurs when the other breast is in a reasonable position on the chest and does not require a breast lift surgery. After the one side has been lifted, both sides usually will have breast implants if the woman elects to go larger. The end result by plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael J. Brown, MD, is that both sides have been matched for breast size, nipple position and breast shape. It is very important to remember that asymmetry is natural and breasts can be asymmetric in many respects. Plastic Surgery is not perfect and not every plastic surgery result is perfect in symmetry. Having a realistic expectation and an understanding of asymmetry and its persistence is very important.

Prior to any cosmetic surgery procedure, it is best that you have read and understand the consent forms required for a plastic surgery procedure.
