As a woman ages, her skin loses some elasticity, causing the breast to sag under the pull of gravity. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations and heredity are other factors that can cause the breast to lose firmness and volume. A breast lift, or Mastopexy, is a procedure for safely lifting the sagging breast. In the procedure, excess skin is removed and the nipple raised to a higher position. The breast skin is reshaped and tailored to create a more youthful breast.
For better results, your surgeon may recommend the use of breast implants along with the mastopexy procedure.
A breast lift is ideal for women who are happy with their cup size and just desires a more youthful appearance. The breast lift procedure does not dramatically change the size of your breasts. The breast lift is often done in combination with a breast augmentation or a breast reduction depending on the desired change in size.
