How to Choose the Right Breast Procedure for You
Finding your best option starts with your goals. Use this guide to get clear on what you want, then we will confirm the plan during your consultation.
Step 1. Define Your Goals
Begin by thinking about what you want to change most about your breasts, whether it is size, shape, lift, or comfort.
- More volume. You want fuller shape or a rounder upper pole
- Higher position. You want lifted nipples and less sagging
- Smaller size. You want relief from heaviness and better balance
- Refinement. You want to correct asymmetry or a prior result
Having a clear vision of your goals will help Dr. Frew recommend the procedure that matches your expectations.
Step 2. Match Goals to Procedures
Once your goals are clear, explore which breast surgery options are designed to achieve them.
- Breast Augmentation. Best for adding volume and enhancing shape with implants or fat transfer
- Breast Lift. Best for lifting and reshaping when nipples sit low or breasts feel deflated
- Breast Augmentation + Lift. Best when you want both fullness and a higher, rounder position
- Breast Reduction. Best for easing neck and back strain while creating a smaller, balanced size
- Breast Revision. Best for improving a previous outcome or exchanging implants
Understanding how each procedure works will prepare you for a focused, productive consultation with Dr. Frew.
Step 3. Quick Self Check
A simple self check can help you see which category your needs may fall into before meeting with the surgeon.
- Your nipples point downward or sit below the fold. You likely need a lift, with or without implants
- You like your shape but want more fullness. You may be a candidate for augmentation
- You feel heavy, have grooving from straps, or chronic discomfort. Reduction may help
- You have concerns about an older result. Revision can refine shape and symmetry
These observations will give Dr. Frew valuable insight when creating your personalized plan.
Step 4. Consider Key Factors
Think about elements such as skin quality, lifestyle, and future plans that can influence your long term results.
- Skin quality. Tighter skin supports shape better
- Tissue thickness. Influences implant selection and placement
- Lifestyle. Activity level and recovery time matter
- Future plans. Pregnancy and weight changes can affect results
Reviewing these factors ahead of time helps Dr. Frew design a safe, lasting result that feels right for you.

Breast Surgery FAQs
Which breast procedure is right for me?
It depends on your goals and anatomy. During your consultation, Dr. Frew will review options and recommend a plan that fits your shape, lifestyle, and timeline.
Do I need a breast lift with my augmentation?
If the nipple sits low or there is significant sagging, a lift may be recommended to position the breast correctly and create a natural result.
How do I choose implant size and type?
Sizing is a guided process. You will try on sizers, review photos, and discuss saline or silicone options so your choice matches your proportions and goals.
What is recovery like after breast surgery?
Most patients return to light activity in about one week. Exercise and heavier lifting usually resume at four to six weeks with clearance from Dr. Frew.
Will my results look natural?
Yes. Planning focuses on proportion, soft tissue support, and implant placement when used. The goal is a result that looks like you.
How long do breast implants last?
Implants are not lifetime devices. Many patients enjoy their results for years. Dr. Frew will discuss monitoring and when an exchange may be appropriate.
Can fat transfer be used instead of implants?
Yes. Fat transfer can softly enhance contour and correct small asymmetries. It can be used alone or to refine results with implants.
Will I have visible scars?
Incisions are placed carefully and typically fade over time with proper care. You will receive a scar care plan to support healing.
Can I breastfeed after surgery?
Many patients can breastfeed after augmentation or lift. Individual outcomes vary. Dr. Frew will plan incision and technique with future goals in mind.
How soon will I see my final results?
Shape improves right away. Swelling settles over several weeks, and results continue to refine as tissues soften over the next few months.
