(703) 924-3144Dissatisfaction with the appearance of your breasts can be emotionally and physically difficult. However, choosing the right breast surgery for your specific needs can seem a bit overwhelming. Board-certified Alexandria plastic surgeon, Dr. Eric Desman, has over a decade of experience helping women make decisions that improve appearance, self-esteem, clothing options, and overall comfort. Working with you on an individual basis, Dr. Desman can help you determine if breast augmentation or a breast lift is best for your body.
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure involving breast implants that is used to enhance the size, symmetry, and shape of your breasts. This procedure is ideal for women who are seeking better symmetry and a more womanly physique.
A breast lift is a surgical procedure in which sagging or droopy breasts are lifted into a higher, more youthful appearance. Age, genetics, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy and nursing can all conspire to make your breasts sag. A breast lift can be used to reverse these effects and provide you with a perky, more pronounced chest.
In some instances, the factors that cause ptosis (sagging) also cause a loss of volume. If this is the case, Dr. Desman may suggest combining a breast lift with breast augmentation. This is determined on a patient-by-patient basis and customized to meet your body’s unique needs and your personal aesthetic desires.
