Breast Augmentation

Breast Lift vs. Breast Augmentation Surgery in Toronto

Toronto plastic surgeon Dr. Sean Rice, one of the country's most well respected cosmetic surgeons, helps his breast surgery patients match their goals with the appropriate procedures. Two of his patients most commonly requested procedures are breast augmentation and breast lift surgery, so he has a finely developed judgment and welcomes consultations with women who have questions about breast surgery.

Dr. Rice listens carefully to determine which breast surgery procedure will provide you with the most satisfying results, based on your aesthetic criteria. When you schedule your initial consultation, you can prepare for the discussion by considering these issues, which will help Dr. Rice decide which type of procedure is best for you :

Are you content with your breast size and shape after pregnancy?
Are you content with the texture or firmness of your breasts?
Are you content with the size of your breasts?
Do you want the top half of your breasts to look fuller?
Are you content with the position of your nipples?

When is breast augmentation the best option?

Dr. Rice's Toronto breast augmentation patients want to :

Enhance the size of the breasts
Restore volume loss due to pregnancy, weight change, or the passage of time
Correct the proportions of breasts that are uneven in shape or size

When is a breast lift the best option?

A breast lift, a different procedure than an augmentation [or enlargement], raises drooping breasts and returns them to a more youthful position. It is often an effective procedure for women who want to reduce sagging caused by pregnancy, gravity, or time, but who are content with the volume of their breasts.

A breast lift can is also the best solution for women whose main issue is the position of their nipples. Your nipple position on the breast mound will often be the determining factor as to whether or not you will need a breast lift. If your nipple is below the inframammary fold (the fold beneath the breast), you may be an ideal candidate for a breast lift. Your nipple placement will be assessed during an examination performed at your breast surgery consultation in Toronto.

Breast lift combined with breast augmentation

There are cases in which Dr. Rice may counsel that a breast lift in conjunction with breast implants would give the patient the best results. These procedures can complement each other, offering you the best placement and proportion for your new implants.
