Breast lift or Mastopexy is surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts. Mastopexy can also reduce the size of areola. If the breasts are small and have lost volume breast implants inserted along with Mastopexy can increase both firmness and their size. A breast lift can be performed at any age, but one has to wait until breast development has stopped. Since milk duets and nipples are left intact, surgery will not affect your ability to breast feed. Breasts that are large and heavy can be lifted, but the results may not be so long lasting as when it is done on smaller breasts.
Sagging, called ptosis, describes breasts that are flattened with an elongated shape and a nipple/areolar complex which points downwards. Breast lift surgery or mastopexy returns the breast to a more youthful shape and position by elevating the nipple and areolar to a higher, more natural point of projection. There are a variety of different breast lift options available. Breast lift surgery does not significantly change the size of your breast, but improves the overall shape and contour.
Your plastic surgeon will examine your breasts, takes measurements. The size and shape of your breasts and the placements of nipples and areolas will be carefully evaluated. Medical history will be discussed such as medicine conditions, drug allergies, medical treatments received, previous surgeries include breast biopsies and medications that you take. If there was a weight loss, your weight should be stabilized before surgery.
