A breast lift is usually done to restore the perkier, firmer, and more aesthetically appealing shape of breasts compared to sagging breasts. Apart from improving the patient’s appearance by reinstating her young-looking, feminine proportions, it also helps swimsuits and bras to fit more cozily and attractively.
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 surgery is usually done for women with sagging breasts to regain their younger, firmer and perkier breasts. But this method can be applied to all breasts, irrespective of their size and shape. Breast surgery creates better proportioned, youthful and uplifted natural looking breasts.
