Breast Lift
A breast lift is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts for a firmer, more youthful appearance.
What Is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts. It is commonly performed to restore firmness and improve breast position following pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. The procedure may also involve reshaping breast tissue and repositioning the nipples for improved symmetry. Breast lift surgery creates a more youthful, balanced breast contour.
What a Breast Lift Can Improve
A breast lift can improve breast contour after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or natural aging. It removes excess skin and repositions breast tissue to create a firmer, more elevated shape.
A lift does not significantly increase size, but it can be combined with augmentation when additional volume is desired.
How Surgery Works
Breast lift techniques vary based on anatomy and goals. Incisions may be around the areola and may extend vertically and or within the breast fold when needed to achieve an optimal lift.
Underlying tissue is reshaped and elevated, excess skin is removed, and the nipples are repositioned as appropriate. Incisions are placed along natural contours whenever possible.
