Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

As part of the natural aging process, women lose skin elasticity and breasts begin to sag. Other factors can contribute to this process including pregnancy, breast-feeding, and excessive weight loss. When these changes occure some women become unhappy with the appearance of their breasts and wish to return to their more youthful look. In these cases a breast lift or mastopexy can reduce or eliminate sagging, and, for women seeking enhancement in size, can be performed in conjunction with implants to increase the breasts' volume. Though the advancements of technology, it has allowed surgeons to perform procedures with less invasive techniques and less scarring. These options specifically with a breast lift may be limited depending on the patients need and desire. Your surgeon can help determine your best option after observing your particular case, desired results, and medical history.
