Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Breast lift is needed to reposition and give firmness to your drooping breasts. Drooping or ptosis of the breasts occur due to ageing, multiple childbirths or massive weight loss. Breast lift raises and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour.

Reshaping the breasts
The underlying breast tissue is lifted and reshaped to improve breast contour and firmness. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a natural, more youthful height. If necessary, enlarged areolas are reduced by excising skin at the perimeter. Excess breast skin is removed to compensate for a loss of elasticity. If your breasts lack volume, implants may be necessary to give more firmness and lift to the breasts.
