Breast Lift

The Breast Lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that aims to raise and reshape sagging breasts, often caused by numerous factors such as aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight fluctuations. This procedure may include reducing the size of areolas (the dark skin around the nipples) and repositioning the nipples to ensure a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
The Benefits of a Breast Lift

There are numerous, unmistakable benefits that come with the decision to invest in a breast lift. Here are some benefits of this procedure

Sagging breasts can cause neck and back discomfort for some women and can interfere with certain physical activities. After a breast lift, the reduction in size and weight can pave the way for increased physical comfort and ease.
About the Breast Lift Procedure
In a typical breast lift procedure, the patient is put under general anesthesia and the surgery may take between one to three hours. The surgical technique used will depend on the patient's individual needs and circumstances. The common methods include the Donut, Lollipop, or Anchor method - each of them varying in terms of incision patterns and scarring. After the excess skin is removed, the nipple and areola are repositioned. The remaining breast tissue is reshaped, and sutures are used to close the incisions. Post-surgery, the patient might experience some degree of pain and swelling, which can be managed with medication.
