Breasts that are subjected to significant fluctuations in weight, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and the natural aging process may begin to take on a sagging appearance. While your breasts may appear suitable in a bra, without one they can droop and lack the desired firmness. A breast lift, also called a mastopexy, is a surgery that is designed to restore the breasts to a higher position by repositioning the nipple and removing sagging skin. If you are interested in learning more about breast lift surgery, Dr. David Bray, Jr. can help rejuvenate the look of your figure. Continue reading below.
Breast Lift: What You Need to Know
Over time, the skin becomes less elastic. This, in addition to the effects of gravity and weight loss, can result in sagging, elongated breasts that have lost their youthful appearance. If the appearance of your breasts has impacted your confidence, know that breast lift surgery is available to help elevate your look. A breast lift can eliminate sagging in breasts and create a more flattering contour. It is also a great way to achieve breast symmetry through the adjustment of the nipple position.
This procedure focuses on elevating the breasts and your overall appearance but is not designed to change the size of your breasts, unlike breast reduction or breast augmentation. Instead, this surgery appeals to those that have:
- Sagging breasts that no longer have a youthful appearance
- Flattened, elongated breasts
- Nipples that point downward
- Stretched skin on the breasts
- Breast asymmetry
Combining Breast Lift with Other Procedures
Breast lift can also be part of a mommy makeover treatment, which includes a combination of procedures that target common problem areas, such as the abdomen, or stubborn pockets of fat. In fact, breast lift surgery is often a key part of a mommy makeover.
Breast Lift Results
Breast lift surgery provides long-lasting results, which allows you to enjoy your new look for years to come. The surgery does not halt the natural aging process of the skin, but since the skin has been tightened and rejuvenated during surgery, sagging may occur more slowly. Maintaining a stable weight can also ensure the longevity of your results.
