Alternatives
Aug-mastopexy (lift + implants)
Adds volume to the lift result. Single OR but more complex; higher revision risk.
Implants only
Less invasive but won't address sagging — adds volume but the breast still sits low.
Internal bra / Galaflex
Newer techniques use a synthetic mesh sling for longer-lasting support. Adds cost; longer-term data still emerging.
