Changing the shape of the breast. What to choose: implants, lipofilling, or a lift

Today, there are several safe and reliable ways to change the shape and size of your breasts. In this article, we’ll tell you about the advantages and disadvantages of each of them.

Mammoplasty with implants, advantages and disadvantages

Mammoplasty to augment and reshape the breast with hypoallergenic implants allows you to get a predictable result, taking into account the anatomical features of the patient’s body.

Advantages of using implants:

• significant breast augmentation and reshaping;
• more toned and voluminous appearance of the breast;
• the shape and size do not change over time;
• implants have a lifetime warranty.

Mammoplasty with implant placement is the best solution when you need to correct severe asymmetry or restore the breast after removal.

The key disadvantage of using implants is a long rehabilitation period compared to other methods.

Advantages and disadvantages of lipofilling

Breast lipofilling is the transfer of a patient’s own adipose tissue from areas with excess to areas where an increase in body volume is required. This technique allows you to increase the size of the breast and correct its shape.

The patient’s own fat does not cause allergies and quickly implants, and does not dissolve over time. The operation is performed through small punctures in the skin.

The key advantages of lipofilling include:

• safety and minimal trauma;
• quick and easy rehabilitation;
• rejuvenating effect;
• long-lasting results;
• natural appearance of the breast.

Lipofilling is often used to easily reshape the breast after implant placement.

Among the disadvantages of the technique: it is not suitable for patients with a small amount of adipose tissue, allows you to increase breast volume by only 1.5 sizes, and is not used to eliminate significant defects or asymmetry of the breast.

Advantages and disadvantages of breast lift

This surgery helps to restore the aesthetic appeal of the breasts in case of ptosis (drooping), loss of elasticity and shape due to sudden weight loss, after the end of lactation, or due to hereditary problems with skin elasticity. However, it does not increase breast size. A breast lift is also minimally traumatic and provides a long-term result, but its effectiveness depends on the correct choice of surgical technique, taking into account the degree of ptosis.

Breast lift surgery is often combined with implant placement if the patient wants to achieve the maximum effect from the surgery.
