Breast Augmentation vs. Breast Lift in Fairfield County, Connecticut

Key Differences

The primary difference between an augmentation and lift is in the purpose of the procedure and the results patients hope to achieve. Breast augmentation increases the size of the breasts, typically through the placement of saline or silicone implants. A breast lift strictly lifts the breasts to a higher, more youthful position on the chest, without affecting the size.

Dr. Passaretti is dedicated to helping each patient achieve an improved silhouette and increased confidence.

However, these procedures are frequently combined for more dramatic results. Both procedures will begin with a consultation with Dr. Passaretti where he will determine your candidacy for the procedure based on your current breast size, tissue, skin, weight, health, and medical history.

Highly Customized Treatment

During your consultation with Dr. Passaretti, you will choose the shape and type of implant you will receive—saline or silicone—and you will decide on the placement, which may be either above or below the chest muscle. You will also choose where your incisions will be placed. Your surgery may take one to two hours, depending on the desired size and the specific placement of your implants.
