A breast lift (mastopexy) repositions sagging breast tissue without necessarily changing size, while breast augmentation adds volume using implants — many patients need one, the other, or both together.
When a Breast Lift Alone Is Enough
- Sagging is present, but you’re happy with your current size
- Nipple position has dropped below the breast crease
- Skin elasticity has decreased after pregnancy or weight change
When Augmentation Is the Better Fit
- Loss of upper breast fullness without significant sagging
- Desire to increase overall breast size
- Breast shape is otherwise well-positioned
Combining Both: Augmentation-Mastopexy
For patients with both sagging and lost volume, Dr. AYOUB can combine a lift with implants in a single surgery — addressing shape and size together rather than requiring two separate procedures.
