As time passes, pregnancy, nursing, excessive weight loss
and gravity have adverse effects on women's breasts, causing
them to lose their elasticity, firmness, and shape as they begin
to sag. A breast lift is a procedure that corrects
this condition using a combination of removing excess breast
skin and tightening the skin. If desired, implants may be
used to restore breasts to their natural shape and size.
The best candidates for a breast lift (Mastopexy) are
healthy, emotionally stable women who are realistic about
the result they would like to achieve. A breast lift
can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence.
The best results are achieved on women who have small, sagging
breasts due to loss of skin elasticity secondary to
pregnancy and / or nursing, or weight loss. Those who
plan to have more children may want to postpone surgery, as
the process of pregnancy and breast-feeding may change the
final result of the surgery.
Possible complications of the surgery include bleeding
and infection following surgery, which may cause scars to
widen, (poor healing and wider scars are common in smokers).
The procedure can also leave you with differently-positioned
nipples or a change in feeling in the nipple or breast.
