A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to elevate and reshape sagging breasts, restoring a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing contour.

Procedure Goals

• Lift breasts higher on the chest wall
• Reposition nipples to point outward
• Remove excess skin
• Improve breast firmness and shape

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

Patients considering a breast lift typically exhibit the following characteristics:

• Breasts that have lost volume and shape
• Nipples pointing downward
• Elongated or asymmetrical breast appearance
• Good overall health

Combining Procedures

Long-Term Considerations

While a breast lift provides long-lasting results, factors such as pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and natural aging can impact the procedure's longevity. Patients are advised to maintain a stable weight and postpone surgery if planning future pregnancies.
