If you are unhappy with the look and feel of your breasts and they are starting to droop, you may have begun to explore your alternatives – both surgical and non-surgical.
With so many choices available, it can be stressful. Many believe their best choice is to have breast implants as part of an augmentation operation. But that is not the only choice. A breast lift may be preferred by some women. This piece will explore how they compare and whether sagging breasts can be fixed with implants alone.
Breast Implants In Dubai
Breast implants in Dubai are used to increase volume, improve shape, restore fullness, or enhance symmetry. They are commonly used during breast augmentation or breast reconstruction and are available in different sizes, shapes, profiles, and filling materials, including silicone gel and saline. Implant selection depends on the patient’s anatomy, existing breast tissue, skin quality, chest dimensions, and desired outcome. Breast implants can create fuller, more proportionate breasts, but they do not stop natural changes caused by aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations. They are not considered lifetime devices, so ongoing monitoring and possible future revision or replacement may be needed.
Breast Lift Vs Implants
During breast augmentation, we place implants of your choice of size to change your breast size and contour. Implants can look very different from patient to patient based on their natural breast imprint. Some patients have implants that sit lower, while others sit higher.
Implants can be placed to position the breasts higher or lower strategically. For other patients, the very mention of breast augmentation conjures up images of huge, unnatural breasts. But most patients are more interested in improving the shape than the size, with their implants ranging from 149 to 249 cc. To put things into context, the typical size implant that patients ask for when desiring size alone is 349-499cc.
Breast augmentation can help provide a fuller look, which can help create a more lifted look. Implants, however, should never be considered the ultimate answer to drooping.
For a breast lift, we will incise around the areola, under the nipple to the inferior pole of the breast, and along the inframammary crease. We remove extra skin from sagging breasts and tighten the tissues underneath. This gives you a more elevated, youthful, and tighter appearance.
Many women have perky, high-sitting breasts in their prime, and the breast lift is performed as a restoration operation to give them what they previously had, or perhaps something even better in terms of shape.
If the breasts are droopy due to loss of volume and not because there is a lot of extra skin, implants will provide a visible change in the appearance of the breasts. The same goes double when combined with a modest breast lift. In more extreme cases of sagging, a comprehensive breast lift is needed, since implants alone can’t correct sagging breasts for a long-term effect.
When a breast augmentation and lift are combined, the two operations work together to achieve many goals at once and dramatically rejuvenate your breasts.
Can Breast Augmentation Alone Lift Sagging Breasts?
Breast augmentation will not fix sagging breasts since it is concerned with the size and shape of the breasts and not the position. But the influence on position will also depend on how well your tissue is.
The younger patient with little variation in weight usually has good tissue quality. They modify the supporting tissue of the breast during an operation so that it can keep its new position long-term. How much healthy tissue and skin you have to deal with can also play into whether you are a candidate for breast augmentation, since it is more difficult for Dr. Perfect Celebrity to add more volume to your breasts if you have little, loose pockets to hold them in.
If, however, you fear you do not have much breast skin to work with to get your dream results, Dr. Perfect Celebrity may be able to use techniques similar to those he uses on his breast reconstruction patients to give you your desired aim. Your eligibility for breast augmentation also relies on the extent of sagging you are experiencing.
If your issues are greater than minor shape deformity, moderate droopiness, or more, you will need further efforts other than implants alone.

Degrees Of Breast Ptosis (Drooping Or Descent Of The Nipple):
Grade 1: Mild shape deformities – this is commonly found in younger patients who are experiencing hormonal changes and can be easily corrected with tiny implants below 199cc.
Grade 2: Moderate drooping – Skin slackness with early signs of breast tissue sagging and skin starting to show. Common in young mothers who have just finished nursing for the first time.
Grade 3: Significant drooping – Generally occurs after pregnancy or weight change and can cause an increase in cup size to accommodate the full sagging breasts.
Grade 4: Atrophic skin – This is due to inadequate collagen strength and is commonly found in elderly women who have had menopause, several pregnancies, etc.
Implants alone will correct the problem for those with only a mild shape deformity. If the patient’s circumstances are moderate to more severe stages of drooping, Dr. Perfect Celebrity will propose a breast lift as opposed to an augmentation.
To put it simply, there are several characteristics that determine if you are an ideal candidate to receive implants to alter the contour of your breasts:
- Your age.
- Your breast tissue quality
- The outcomes you have in mind for your ambitions
- Your current level of breast ptosis
- How much healthy breast tissue and skin do we have to deal with?
Breast Augmentation, Lift Or Both?
The three most popular breast surgery treatments are the breast lift, breast augmentation, and breast augmentation mastopexy (breast lift with implants).
When you book a breast surgery consultation with Dr. Perfect Celebrity, he will evaluate your breasts, listen to your goals, and ask a lot of questions so he has a good grasp of your situation and what you want. Once he feels he knows what you are looking for and has evaluated the existing status of your breasts and the quality of your tissue, he will provide his recommendations for which treatment will best suit your goals.
If you have some extra skin in your breasts, and Dr. Perfect Celebrity determines that it is healthy enough to support its new position with the added volume, you may be a good candidate for a breast augmentation to improve the shape. It’s just what you need, especially if you need the extra volume.
If your breasts have become deflated due to weight loss or breastfeeding and your tissue is robust enough to support the implant, breast augmentation can be a physically and emotionally rewarding experience. Again, though, breast augmentation alone doesn’t fix drooping.
If you are merely interested in improving the position and firmness of your breasts and are happy with your breast size, a breast lift alone may give you the results you are hoping for. Not all women desire fullness in the breast area, particularly if they have a small frame. Some prefer a more natural look that is in keeping with the rest of their anatomical features.
If your breasts are droopy and deflated and you want to remove superfluous skin while raising the placement and adding volume, a breast augmentation mastopexy is the ideal solution for you. It is a very popular operation for mothers who have lost the fullness of their breasts after having their babies.
What Are The Benefits Of Getting Breast Augmentation?
If you have minor shape defects and no visible breast drooping, and your tissues are robust enough to support your results, a breast augmentation can give your breasts a perkier, firmer look. The biggest advantage is that it makes your breasts look bigger in size and improves the form overall.
Remember, there are some requirements you need to fulfill to make a breast augmentation on its own to work for you to correct shape issues, including a deflated look. This technique is primarily for the increase of the size of breasts.
Leveraging his in-depth knowledge of breast anatomy and the impact of various methods, Dr. Perfect Celebrity will carefully position the implants higher up for a somewhat perkier look.
Other benefits of breast augmentation are:
- Enhances breast aesthetics
- Gives it a more feminine, curvaceous look
- Can elevate and increase volume for improved cleavage
- Brings back the young appearance to the breasts
- Improves the posture of the breasts
