Breast augmentation vs Breast lift: which is right for you?
Implants add volume; a lift restores position. Deflation plus droop often needs both at once.
How Breast augmentation works
Augmentation places implants (or fat transfer) to increase size and upper-pole fullness. It does not raise a nipple that sits low.
How Breast lift works
A mastopexy removes excess skin and reshapes tissue to lift the breast and reposition the nipple — restoring shape after pregnancy, weight loss or time, without changing cup size much.
Which to choose
The pencil test is the honest guide: volume loss with the nipple still above the fold → augmentation. Nipple at or below the fold → a lift, with or without an implant for the upper pole.
Prices abroad
Accredited clinics abroad typically price both options 50–70% below Western European and UK rates, all-inclusive. Compare written quotes for both on GetClinic and discuss suitability in a free video consultation before booking either.
