Breast Lift/ Mastopexy vs. Non-Surgical Breast Lift/ Mastopexy: Which One Is More Suitable for You?

Breast Lift/ Mastopexy vs. Non-Surgical Breast Lift/ Mastopexy: Which One Is More Suitable for You?

At the Breast & Body Clinic, we obviously speak to many women who are displeased with their breasts. Be it the size, shape, or positioning, they are searching for the right surgical option to correct the issue.

We are often asked which procedure of the breast lift or non-surgical breast lift will be more appropriate. The answer is often dependent on the results you are looking to achieve and a consultation with Dr. Yunaev is crucial to determine what will align with your goals.

To assist in your research, however, let’s look at these two procedures to give you an idea of which may be more suitable for you.

The Breast Lift Procedure

This procedure is often recommended when there has been a loss of volume in the breasts or a level of drooping known as breast ptosis. As a woman matures, has children or experiences fluctuations in weight, the breast lift is an effective way to volumetrically reshape the breasts, rectifying any droop.

You can actually run a little test at home to see if a breast lift is suitable for you. All you need to do is position a pencil under your breast fold, and if it holds, you may have some drooping.

Non-Surgical Breast Lift

The non-surgical breast lift procedure involves a high definition diffused laser, which has the function of absorbing the water around the breast tissue. From here, specific cells are vaporised, which removes a certain amount of tissue.

This causes a level of tightening to the collagen fibers in the skin, which results in a mild lift of the targeted area. It is important to note that this will not be suitable for everyone and is often used in cases that require a minor overall lift.

Deciding Which Procedure Is Right for You

We never recommend that patients make a decision on a procedure by themselves. The definitive answer for any surgery needs to come following an examination with Dr. Yunaev. Your current situation needs to be assessed along with an in-depth discussion about your goals to obtain a result you will be happy with.

For example, many women look at these procedures but have an issue with the size and shape of their breasts. This can lead to the requirement of a breast augmentation which should also be considered as well.

The breast lift  procedure is often performed in conjunction with a breast augmentation to restore a more youthful position and increase volume of the breast. If you are hoping to achieve an improved upper breast fullness and more desirable, youthful breast positioning, this may be the path forward.
