Toronto breast enhancement procedures such as breast augmentation and breast lifts, are some of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures due to their ability to enhance and reshape the breasts. Breast augmentation, also referred to as augmentation mammoplasty, uses implants to increase the size of the breasts, while a breast lift or mastopexy, lifts the breasts to help them appear more youthful and perky. While each procedure can be completed separately, there are many benefits to combining the two complementary procedures.

Is a breast lift right for me?

Ideal breast lift candidates present nipples that are positioned below the level of the crease under the breast (where the breast meets the rest of the body).

Our Plastic Surgeons combine two forms of cosmetic breast surgery into a single procedure for suitable patients. This surgical approach of breast implants with lift allows for the simultaneous treatment of insufficient volume and sagging.The increase in breast size that occurs with pregnancy typically dissipates following the delivery of a child.

A breast lift and augmentation are procedures designed to address these concerns. A lift alone can correct ptosis, but will leave […]
