Plastic Surgery - Breast Lift
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Reshaping sagging breasts that have lost fullness and have downward-pointing nipples into a youthful, firm, and uplifted form.
About the Operation
Mastopexy (breast lift surgery) corrects ptotic (sagging) female breasts caused by gravity, the breastfeeding process, rapid weight changes, or menopausal tissue laxity. Excessively stretched, inelastic skin is removed, and the breast tissue is reshaped into a tighter, closed-cone form, repositioning the nipples to their ideal aesthetic height.
Application Details
- 1A breast lift does not typically involve reduction; fullness is achieved using the patient's own tissue.
- 2For those who feel their size is insufficient, a small silicone implant can be placed in the same session (augmentation mastopexy).
- 3The enlarged areola is reduced, and excess skin is excised via an inverted-T or vertical lollipop incision.
Who Is It Suitable For?
- Patients with sagging, flat-looking breasts without a bra
- Women whose breasts have deflated after pregnancy (volume loss) but who do not want silicone implants
- Patients whose nipples point downward (below the level of the inframammary crease)
