A lot of patients come in wanting a breast lift thinking they’ll get a rounded, full breast. But a breast lift and a breast augmentation are two very different procedures, and understanding the difference is crucial before you book surgery.

What you’ll learn:
- The difference between a breast lift and a breast augmentation.
- Why natural breasts are teardrop-shaped, not round and full at the top.

- Why you can’t achieve upper pole fullness without an implant.
- How to communicate your goals.
