Breast Implants Are Popular, But Breast Lifts Are Gaining
In terms of popular plastic surgery procedures, nothing beats breast implants. Augmentation is the most commonly performed surgery for women, clocking in at almost 300,000 implant procedures in a single year, according to the authoritative American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Women from Toronto to Texas are eager to add volume to their breasts, and the surgery has continued to grow in popularity over the years.
Even a quick Internet search shows that the procedure is popular in headlines, with news outlets around the world revealing and speculating on which celebrity is currently enjoying the benefits of implants. Breast size is big news, and the procedure that focuses on bigger breasts doesn't show any signs of going away.
A different sort of breast surgery is steadily rising in the ranks, however, as indicated by a recent study published by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Breast lifts--which don't add volume, but raise the breasts to make them firmer and more perky--are fast becoming a procedure of choice for women across North America.
According to a news release from the society, member surgeons performed more than 90,000 breast lift procedures in 2013, which represented an increase of about 70 percent since the turn of the millennium. While that's far less than half of the number of augmentation procedures performed in the same year, the rate at which women are choosing breast lifts is certainly catching surgeons' eyes.
The results came in the society's 2013 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report, published at the end of March.
The numbers show that the bulk of women choosing breast lifts fall in the 30- to 54-year-old range. About 70 percent of all women who opted for the surgery in 2013 fit in that window. In an article accompanying the report's publication, the society president suggested that women seeking to undergo surgery in an effort to recapture a youthful appearance are increasingly looking to do so by using their own tissue.
"The ideal candidate for a breast lift is a woman who has a good amount of breast tissue left, who doesn't necessarily want to have implants," the president said.
Implants will always make a woman's breasts larger, but won't do much to correct a droopy or saggy look. Similarly, a lift will make a woman's chest look perkier, but won't add any volume to the breasts.
Fortunately, women don't have to settle for one or the other; when indicated, the two procedures can be combined to create a simultaneously younger and fuller look.
Will breast lifts ever surpass breast augmentation in terms of popularity? If they do, they still have a long way to go--though, boasting a growth rate of just about double that of implants, breast lifts might ultimately become the procedure of choice for women sooner rather than later. Rising from fewer than 53,000 procedures 14 years ago to more than 90,000 today is no small feat.
