What is a Breast Lift?
For many women, the shape as well as the size of their breasts are of particular importance. Today, women who are bothered by sagging breasts as a result of pregnancy, weight loss, or the aging process can be helped by a surgical technique known as a breast lift or mastopexy. This surgical procedure is specifically designed to lift and reshape the breast to a more youthful and rounded appearance. The size of the nipple and surrounding areola (dark pink skin around the nipple) can be simultaneously reduced as the breast is lifted.
It is important to understand that a breast lift procedure will not enlarge the size of the breasts. Therefore, the mastopexy procedure may be performed in conjunction with breast implants to provide a fuller appearance to the upper portion of the breasts as they are lifted.
