Mastopexy – Breast Lift Surgery
A breast lift can rejuvenate your figure with a breast profile that is more youthful and uplifted and keep your confidence up. Breasts change over time, losing their firmness and youthful shape with loss of skin elasticity.
Women who are unhappy with the shape, volume and/or firmness of their breasts may consider having breast lift surgery, also called Mastopexy. Mastopexy helps raise the breast removing excess skin and tighten the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast. A breast lift is often combined with breast augmentation surgery to increase both, the firmness and size of the breasts.
Breast Augmentation is a highly individualized procedure, that should be chosen only if you feel the need for it and not to fulfil other’s desire. Sometimes the Areola becomes enlarged over time, and a breast lift will reduce this as well. Breast lift also repositions the nipple higher on the chest wall.
