Breast Lift - Mastopexy
With aging, following pregnancy, breast-feeding and weight loss comes sagging, loss of skin elasticity, and loss of firmness. To correct this, a breast lift or mastopexy is equivalent to a surgical “Wonder Bra” so that without the support of a bra, the breasts have an uplifted appearance. Although the volume of the breast remains essentially the same, the breasts are raised, the nipples may be repositioned and there is a tightening of the breast skin to give a more youthful appearance to the breast. Implants can be inserted simultaneously to increase size and firmness.
