Breast Lift

As a result of several factors, including time, pregnancy and gravity, breast tissue loses volume and firmness. The result is breasts that become flat at the upper pole and begin to sag. Mastopexy or breast lift raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing the dependant breast tissue while raising and re-shaping the breast. Often the actual size remains unchanged, but by re-positioning the breasts, they appear larger and fuller. Breast implants can be inserted in conjunction with mastopexy when the volume of the tissue has significantly decreased and the placement of implants can assist in achieving the desired aesthetic size and shape. Several surgical techniques are utilized when performing lift procedures and the choice is based on the severity of sagging. Dr. Aboolian will discuss the various individualized options during the consultation.
