Read on for more information about breast lifts and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drgaryprice.com\/breast-augmentation\/\">breast augmentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Breast lifts and breast augmentation<\/h2>\n<p>Both procedures improve the appearance of your breasts, but they do this in very different ways. In a breast augmentation procedure, implants are used to increase the size of the breasts and give volume to the chest. There are different kinds of implants to choose from, such as saline, silicone, and the IDEAL implant \u2013 your doctor will be able to go over the benefits and disadvantages of each to help you decide.<\/p>\n<p>Fat grafting is also an option. In this procedure, fat is taken from one area of the body (such as the thighs or lower stomach) and transferred into the breasts. This is a great option if you are concerned about any side effects that can come with an implant \u2013 because it comes from your own body, you don\u2019t have to worry about any safety issues.<\/p>\n<p>In a breast lift, excess skin is removed and the breast tissue is tightened and contoured. It can be used to \u201clift\u201d breasts that sag after pregnancy, nursing, or after a dramatic weight loss.<\/p>\n<h2>Which one should you choose?<\/h2>\n<p>Your doctor will be able to tell you which procedure would be best for you \u2013 it will depend on the results you would like to see and some other factors as well. Some patients even opt for both procedures, with a breast lift to raise sagging tissue and an augmentation to increase firmness and size.<\/p>\n<p>If you are unhappy with the size or shape of your breasts, it can begin to affect your self-esteem and can even start to affect your quality of life. A breast procedure can lift sagging breasts and give you a curvier figure. Dr. Gary J. Price in New Haven or Fairfield County, CT, can discuss the different breast surgery options and can help you decide which one would be best for you. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drgaryprice.com\/contact\/\">Call<\/a> (203) 453-6635 for a consultation today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many reasons why you may not be happy with the size or shape of your breasts \u2013 but luckily, there are also a few different options to choose from so that you can do something about it.
