Want to improve the appearance of sagging or loose breasts? A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a procedure that lifts and reshapes the breasts, giving them a firmer, more youthful appearance. This procedure corrects breast ptosis, restoring natural firmness and contour.
You’re a good candidate for a breast lift if:
- You’re bothered by the sagging or loss of breast shape and volume
- Your breasts have a flat, elongated, or pendulous appearance
- Nipples fall below the breast fold when unsupported
- You have enlarged areolas or asymmetrical breasts
A breast lift involves removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to support the natural breast contour. The procedure is customized based on the degree of sagging, with discrete incisions to minimize scarring.
After surgery, you’ll wear a supportive bra and see improvement in breast shape within a few months. With your doctor’s approval, you can return to work after about a week.
