Breast Lift

For many women, the size, shape and contour of their breasts are of particular importance. Today, women who are disturbed by sagging or loose breasts as a result of pregnancy, weight loss or natural ageing can be helped by a remarkable surgical technique called breast lift or mastopexy.

As women age and/or have kids, their breasts tend to lose fat and the breast tissue begins to thin. In most cases, when the breast tissue shrinks, the skin does not and the areola/nipple droops down below the inframammary crease. Lifting the nipple above the crease will restore a youthful look.

Many patients who request a breast lift also want fullness back. These patients usually decide to have implants as well. In certain instances, the augmentation will aid in stretching the skin, enabling your surgeon to do a breast lift with shorter scars. Other patients may require a breast reduction as well as a breast lift to restore the look they desire.
