Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, is a procedure designed to address breast sagging, loss of shape, and changes in position that occur naturally in many women. This transformative treatment can be an excellent option for women seeking to restore a more youthful and confident appearance to their chest.

Breast lift surgery is frequently the best option for:

Correcting Elongated, Pendulous Breasts

When breasts take on an elongated, stretched appearance or become flat and pendulous, it can significantly impact a woman’s confidence and clothing choices. Breast reshaping through a lift procedure addresses these concerns by repositioning the breasts and creating a rounder, more proportionate appearance that sits higher on the chest wall.

Addressing Loss of Shape and Position

Over time, factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and natural aging can cause breast tissue to lose its elasticity. If you find yourself looking in the mirror and noticing that your breasts appear droopy or have lost their once-perky appearance, a breast lift can help restore that youthful contour by removing excess skin and repositioning the existing breast tissue to create a more lifted, shapely silhouette.

Improving the Nipples and Areolas

Nipple and areola positioning plays a crucial role in the overall aesthetic of the breast. When the nipples fall below the natural breast crease or point downward instead of forward, it can create an aged appearance. 

Additionally, areolas that have become enlarged or stretched out of proportion can affect the overall balance of the breast. A breast lift procedure can be used to reposition the nipples to a more youthful location and resize the areolas to better complement your new breast shape, creating a more harmonious and attractive result.

Correcting Breast Asymmetry

Many women experience some degree of breast asymmetry, but when one breast sits noticeably lower than the other, it can cause significant self-consciousness. Mastopexy can address this imbalance by lifting the lower breast to match the position of the higher one, or by adjusting both breasts to achieve better symmetry and proportion.

Ideal Candidate Considerations

The best patients for breast lift surgery are non-smokers in good overall health who can commit to maintaining a stable body weight. In addition, breast lift surgery is best for women who are finished having children, as future pregnancies have the potential to reverse the treatment’s results.
