Breast Lift
Breast position and firmness play a significant role in overall body balance and self-confidence. Over time, factors such as ageing, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and gravity can cause breasts to sag, lose volume, or appear deflated. This can affect both appearance and clothing fit, even when overall body weight is well maintained.
Understanding the Basics
What Is a Breast Lift (Mastopexy)?
A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts. The procedure involves removing excess skin, tightening surrounding tissue, and repositioning the nipples to create a firmer and more youthful breast contour.
Breast lift surgery does not significantly change breast size but focuses on improving shape, symmetry, and position. The technique is customized based on breast volume, degree of sagging, and individual anatomy.
Types of Breast Lift
Different breast lift techniques are used depending on the degree of sagging and desired correction.
Crescent Breast Lift
A minor lift suitable for minimal sagging, involving a small incision along the upper areola.
Periareolar Breast Lift
Corrects mild to moderate sagging with an incision around the areola to reshape the breast.
Anchor Breast Lift
Used for significant sagging, providing maximum lifting and reshaping of the breasts.
