Types of Breast Lifts
Over time with aging, women’s breasts change and lose their contour and shape. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure performed by a plastic surgeon to raise sagging breasts. A surgeon can change the size and contour of the breasts, decrease areola size, types of breast lift, and elevate breast mounds to give a more youthful appearance.
A breast lift is performed by removing excess skin, bringing the breast tissue up onto the chest wall and tightening the skin around the breast tissue. Breast lifts themselves do not change the size of the breasts, but can be performed with an implant augmentation or breast reduction.
