Combining Breast Augmentation With Other Procedures
In some cases, patients may choose to combine breast augmentation with other procedures, such as a breast lift. A breast lift can help enhance the shape and position of your breasts, creating a more youthful look. When combined with augmentation, a breast lift can amplify your final results dramatically. Patients may also choose to have other procedures, such as liposuction or a tummy tuck, to complement their breast augmentation results. During your consultation with Dr. Min, you can explore all your possible treatment options and select the right path forward for your goals.
