BREAST LIFT
WHAT IS BREAST LIFT
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and supports the new breast contour.
Sometimes the areola becomes enlarged over time, and a breast lift will reduce this as well.
A breast lift can rejuvenate your figure with a breast profile that is more youthful and uplifted. A woman’s breasts often change over time, losing their youthful shape and firmness. These changes and loss of skin elasticity can result from:
- Pregnancy.
- Breastfeeding.
- Weight fluctuations.
- Aging.
- Gravity.
- Heredity.
PROCEDURE
The appropriate technique for you will be determined based on:
- Breast size and shape.
- The size and position of your areolas.
- The degree of breast sagging.
- Skin quality and elasticity as well as the amount of extra skin.
THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR BREAST LIFT
- You are physically healthy and maintaining a stable weight.
- You do not smoke.
- You are bothered by the feeling that your breasts sag or have lost shape and volume.
- Your breasts have a flatter, elongated shape or are pendulous.
- When unsupported, your nipples fall below the breast crease.
- Your nipples and areolas point downward.
- You have stretched skin and enlarged areolas.
- One breast is lower than the other.
ADVANTAGES OF A BREAST LIFT
Satisfaction with your new image should continue to grow as you recover from surgery.
The final results of your breast lift will appear over the next few months as breast shape and position continue to settle.
Incision lines are permanent but will continue to fade over time.
The results of your breast lift surgery will be long-lasting. Over time, your breasts can continue to change due to aging and gravity.
