Changes in breast shape can affect how clothing fits, how your proportions look, and how you feel about your figure.
At Repta Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, Dr. Remus Repta helps women compare options such as breast augmentation and a breast lift based on their anatomy, goals, and starting point. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Repta brings a detailed understanding of breast shape, proportion, and surgical planning to each consultation.
What Breast Augmentation Can Change
Breast augmentation mainly changes your breast volume. This may make sense if you want fuller breasts, better upper breast fullness, or a size that fits your frame differently. Dr. Repta will discuss implant size, implant type, placement under or over the muscle, and incision location during the planning process.
Breast augmentation may be a good starting point when you like the general position of your breasts but want added fullness. It does not correct significant sagging on its own.
What a Breast Lift Can Change
A breast lift changes breast position and shape. It can raise the areola, reshape the breast mound, and reduce loose skin. Dr. Repta offers several lift options, including purse-string, vertical, full, and extended breast lift techniques.
A breast lift may make sense when your concern involves drooping, low nipple position, stretched skin, or a flatter breast shape. Some women think they need implants, but a lift alone may create the shape they want if they have enough existing breast tissue.
When You May Need Both Procedures
Some women benefit from a lift and augmentation together. This option can improve position while adding volume. The lift helps with sagging, while augmentation helps with size and fullness.
You may want to discuss both options if you notice:
- Low nipple position: The nipple sits below the breast crease or points downward.
- Volume loss: The upper breast looks deflated after pregnancy, weight changes, or aging.
- Loose skin: The breast tissue sits lower than it used to.
- Size concerns: You want a fuller breast size along with a lifted shape.

Choosing between a breast lift and breast augmentation starts with a careful exam and a clear conversation about your goals.
