21 Feb Breast Lifts for Perkier Breasts Without Increased Volume
A lot of people think of a “boob job” as implants, but there’s much more to breast surgery than breast implants. At Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery and Skin Center, breast lifts, breast implants, and breast augmentations are all options for women looking to increase their confidence. A breast lift is a cosmetic procedure that improves the shape and profile of the breasts without breast implants.
Breast lifts work by removing loose, excess breast tissue. Skin naturally gets looser with age thanks to lost collagen and elastin. However, the breast tissue is especially susceptible to developing loose skin. From breastfeeding to age and genetics, many factors are working against women (and their breast tissue).
A breast lift is still a surgery, but it’s less invasive than a breast augmentation. The scar locations will vary based on the amount of skin that needs to be removed, the location, and the patient goals. In some cases, nipples will need to be moved in order to achieve a natural, beautiful look.
The most common scars are hidden in the breast folds. Sometimes a lollipop scar is necessary (when nipples are shifted), and there will be a thin scar from the base of the nipple to the fold of the breast. A skilled surgeon is an expert in minimizing scars, hiding them, and helping patients understand the best after-care for safety and scar reduction.

In a lot of cases, breasts might look bigger after a breast lift even without an implant. This is due to the breast regaining its youthful shape. Women who are already happy with the overall size of their breasts are often a better fit for breast lifts rather than a breast augmentation. However, for those who do decide they want breast lifts in the future, it’s often easy to utilize the same scar location from their breast lift.
