A breast lift surgery is also known as mastopexy. It is the most common surgical process employed to change the contour of breasts and to give it a younger look. It removes extra pleats of skin from under the breast and tightens the tissue around the area to support and reshape the new breast form. The breasts change their shape over time, owing to different factors. They lose their firmness and youthful shape. A sagging breast is a result of skin losing its elasticity. This may occur due to

  • Pregnancy
  • Weight
  • Breastfeeding
  • Gravity
  • Age
  • Heredity

Breast surgery removes extra skin from the breast and remodels it into a firmer cone. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a raised and more forward location. This gives a younger profile to the breast contour. In some women, the areolae stretch and become large over time. Mastopexy, or breast lift surgery, can also be done to reduce its size. Small and droopy breasts can be enlarged during the operation by using silicone breast plates under the breasts.

Breast lift will neither increase your breast size nor create a fuller look. If you want this, you should go for breast augmentation surgery along with breast lift. Remember that breast lift surgery does not restore the shape permanently. Your breasts may sag again over time.
