Breast Lift Surgery
‘Breast lift’, also known as mastopexy, is the procedure which uplifts the sagging, pendulous breasts. It also corrects the drooping nipples & stretched areola. It thus rejuvenates breasts which appear more youthful.
When Breast Lift Surgery Is Required?
- With time woman’s breasts lose their youthful shape & firmness. Breast skin loses its elasticity & breasts become saggy & pendulous. These changes can occur due to
- Aging
- Gravity
- Pregnancy
- After significant weight loss
- Post bariatric surgery
- Heredity
- Breast lift is required when
- You are not happy with your saggy & pendulous breasts.
- Your breasts appear flat & have lost the projection.
- The nipple & areola are positioned below the breast crease.
- The nipple & areola are stretched and pointed downwards.
- You find difficulty in wearing clothes of your choice without supporting bra.
If you are planning for pregnancy, then it is advisable to postpone breast lift surgery after childbirth & breastfeeding. During pregnancy the breast may stretch again & compromise the result of surgery.
