Breast Lift

Over time, even perfect breasts may begin to droop or sag.  Loss of skin elasticity, gravity, pregnancy or weight loss can all affect the shape firmness of your breasts. A breast lift can help you regain your original look, or enhance the look that you have always had. A breast lift can be performed alone or in conjunction with breast augmentation or breast reduction depending on your individual needs.

A Breast Lift (Mastopexy) involves moving the nipple and breast tissue to a higher level on your chest so that the nipple will lie at the level of the breast fold, a position considered to be ideal. The skin below the nipple is then tightened and contoured to your new shape. A breast lift can be done with or without a breast implant for breast enlargement, a decision that will be based on your personal goals and the amount of available breast tissue.
