Breast Lift

Breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, addresses the problem of uneven or sagging breasts, drooping nipples, stretched areolas and decreased breast volume. This procedure is recommended by surgeons when women are not satisfied with the contours of their breasts. These problems with breasts usually appear when women are pregnant, gain or lose weight, aging, nursing, gravity, or heredity.

The breast lift procedure is performed by a certified plastic surgeon under general anesthesia. The surgeons use different techniques to reshape your breasts while determining the position of incision depending upon the size or shape of your breast, level of sagging, skin quality, and elasticity.

After undergoing mastopexy or breast lift surgery women can experience improved breast shape, symmetry, and projection. As a result, the overall self-confidence improves and your appearance in and out of clothes looks better while giving a youthful appearance to your breasts.
