Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Some women are disappointed with the droop (ptosis) of their breasts, which can be caused by a variety of factors. For this problem, various procedures termed breast lifts (mastopexy) have been developed. Breast drooping (ptosis) may occur due to the body's own natural predisposition or following pregnancy or weight loss. Exercise cannot correct this, leaving surgery is the only recognized form of correction.

A breast lift raises and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. Often, patients combine an augmentation with a breast lift to increase the volume of the breast, an attractive option for many women.
