What Is the Difference Between a Breast Lift and Augmentation? Before & After Pictures Tell the Story

Deciding between breast augmentation and a breast lift depends on which breast concerns you want to improve. For sagging (also known as ptosis) or asymmetry in your breasts, a breast lift might be your best option. If you’re concerned about breast size, projection, and asymmetry, breast augmentation is a good choice.

If you are wondering, what is the difference between a breast lift and augmentation, this post sheds some light on the two procedures using real-life examples. You can also read our related blog post, which discusses how to decide between breast augmentation, a breast lift, or both.
