Planning a breast lift is exciting: Soon, you’ll have higher, firmer, and younger-looking breasts. But one small concern might keep creeping in: What about breast volume? Will your breasts look fuller, or will they look smaller after a breast lift?

This blog explains what you need to know about breast volume after breast lift — and how to get the desired results.

At Dr. Christopher Craft’s state-of-the-art surgery center in Miami, FL, we provide a luxurious and comfortable atmosphere where every patient feels confident and cared for. Dr. Craft, one of a select few surgeons board-certified in plastic, general, and trauma surgery, customizes each procedure to match your body and aesthetic goals.

What a Breast Lift Can (and Can’t) Achieve

A breast lift reshapes and repositions the breasts. Dr. Craft removes excess stretched-out skin and tightens the remaining tissue. This procedure improves firmness and gives the breasts a higher, more youthful position.

Dr. Craft may also reshape and reposition the areolas for improved proportions, as many women experience unwanted changes in that area over time.

If you’re mainly seeking elevation of your breasts, a breast lift alone could fit your needs perfectly.

But it’s important to remember that a breast lift doesn’t improve the volume of your breasts. It’s still your own breast tissue, moved to a higher position. In fact, you lose some tissue in a breast lift, so your breasts might look a little smaller afterward.

Adding implants to your surgery may help you reach your goals.

The Benefits of Adding Implants to a Breast Lift

Adding implants to a breast lift can improve the results of your breast lift. Benefits include:

• Increased Fullness, particularly in the upper part of the breasts
• Enhanced Breast Shape, tailored to your wishes. You can choose various implant shapes, like round or teardrop.
• More Dramatic Transformation versus a breast lift alone

Many women who have experienced breast changes like sagging, deflation, or asymmetry after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes want both lifted and fuller breasts. Adding implants to your breast lift helps you reach those goals in one surgery versus two.
