Breast augmentation is different from a breast lift or a breast reduction. A breast lift raises the
breast by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissues to reshape and support
the new breast contour. A breast reduction is a procedure to remove excess breast fat,
glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a more proportionate breast size to the body and relieve
any experienced pain as a result of larger breasts. Breast augmentation is when breast
implants or fat transfer is used to achieve a larger breast size. We gathered some of the most
frequent benefits women report after breast augmentation.
