Breast lift - Mastopexy

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy is a surgical procedure performed to change the shape of your breasts. During a breast lift, excess skin is removed and breast tissue is reshaped to raise the breasts.

In this case, the breasts are sagging, the glandular tissue is sparsely present, the operative technique is similar to that described for breast reduction, and refers mostly to the removal of excess loose skin, but in the next surgical operation an implant may be placed to achieve the desired shape and position of the breast.

Even though a breast lift won't significantly change the size of your breasts, it can always be performed in combination with breast augmentation or breast reduction.

Besides the fact that women mostly choose to have a breast lift in case of sagging skin, sometimes it is also necessary to perform the repositioning of the nipples, in cases when the nipples point downward.

In any case - a breast lift might also boost your self-image and self-confidence.
