Whether we like it or not, if we get the privilege to age or have children – gravity will eventually affect all of us, at some point. After pregnancy, weight loss or just with time; skin can lose elasticity and breasts can begin to sag. Women who struggle with this problem aren’t asking for much – they just want to reverse the effects of gravity a bit. By removing loose tissues and skin that lead to the appearance of aged breasts, a breast lift is able to help women realize breasts that look younger and fuller. What is mastopexy?
Mastopexy is the clinical name for breast lift surgery, which raises and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. There are varying techniques; your course of treatment will be determined by the end result that you are hoping to achieve, your breast size and shape, the size and position of your areolas, your skin quality, elasticity, and the degree of sagging. It can treat breasts that have lost shape and volume – and in some cases, are combined with other surgeries after pregnancy (like a Mommy Makeover) or bariatric weight loss. We can’t all stay 18 forever, but with cosmetic advances, our breasts can look as young as we would like, after breast lift surgery.
