Procedure :
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin around the breasts and reshaping them to achieve a tighter and more youthful appearance. This procedure is ideal for women who experience breast sagging due to changes in breast shape after pregnancy and childbirth or natural aging. Breast lift surgery involves reshaping the internal tissues and lifting the breasts to improve their appearance. The nipples are also adjusted and lifted to correspond to the new breast shape. Breast lift surgery can be performed alone or in combination with breast augmentation, depending on the patients expectations and breast size. If the patient desires breast enlargement, it can be achieved using surgically placed silicone implants or through autologous fat injection. These methods are used to enhance breast volume and improve their appearance.
