Frequently, breast enhancement is equated with breast implants. However, several ways to improve the size and shape of the breasts do not involve implants at all.

At Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, board-certified plastic surgeonDr. Ravi Somayazulais devoted to helping individuals reach their goals. If you are interested in breast enhancement without implants, get in touch and schedule your consultation today to learn more about your options.

Implant-Free Breast Enlargement

It is entirely possible to accomplish breast enlargement without the use of implants. Two of the best ways to achieve this are:

  • Breast Lift with Auto-Augmentation. Breast Lift surgery addresses sagging, deflated breast tissue, restoring the breast mound to a firm and youthful position. In the process, however, it can slightly reduce breast size.Auto-augmentation repositions excess tissue to retain optimal breast size, allowing the procedure to both lift and volumize the breasts
  • Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation. With fat transfer, excess fat is removed from a donor site – typically the thighs or abdomen – and injected into the breasts. This serves the dual purpose of sculpting and toning the donor area while creating subtle and natural-looking breast enlargement

Both of these options can help to improve the appearance of breasts that have lost volume due to weight fluctuations, pregnancy and nursing, genetics, and aging, and are a fantastic solution for women interested in breast enhancement without implants.

Improving Breast Appearance with Reduction

Breast enhancement does not always equate to enlargement. When breasts are too large, they can become both a physical and emotional discomfort. In these cases, the best option is breast reduction surgery.

With breast reduction, Dr. Ravi eliminates heavy, sagging breast tissue and repositions the breast mound to restore ideal shape and size to the breasts. Breast reduction can create optimal contours by creating symmetry between the breasts, ribs, and torso, all while relieving back strain, improving clothing options, and even enhancing range of motion. For women with overly-large, heavy, pendulous breasts, reduction surgery can absolutely be a game changer.
