Breast Lift
Restore your breasts’ shape and position.
You may not be able to control gravity or time, but now you can control their effects. Multiple pregnancies, loss of skin elasticity due to aging, loss of breast volume and gravity are all factors that cause breasts to lose their shape and firmness. Most women experience some of these, but now you can work to defy them.
Mastopexy, or breast lift, is a procedure performed to elevate and reshape sagging breasts and reposition the nipple to a more desirable site. If you are looking to lift and add volume, breast augmentation can also be performed at the same time.
This procedure can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple.
If you’re considering breast lift surgery, you’ve already taken an important step in researching your options. To continue learning more about the procedure in greater detail and find out the results you can expect, schedule a complimentary consultation with one of our surgeons.
