What can I expect with a breast lift?
A breast lift itself does not change the size of the breast, but rather provides a lift that will improve its overall profile and restore a more youthful appearance. The procedure involves lifting the areola and nipple to prevent the appearance of sagging. A mastopexy may be appropriate when time has taken its toll or significant changes have altered the appearance of a woman's breasts (pregnancy, menopause, significant weight loss). However, many patients in their prime also undergo a breast lift. Indeed, breast sagging may be related to hereditary factors and not aging. The procedure can be performed before pregnancy, when the plastic surgeon deems it appropriate and the breast is fully developed.
Breast lift with augmentation
During your initial breast lift consultation, your plastic surgeon may also discuss mastopexy with augmentation, depending on the level of dissatisfaction you're experiencing with your breasts. This procedure is used for patients who have experienced breast volume loss and more pronounced sagging. The contour is then augmented with an implant and a breast lift to harmonize the look.
