A breast lift, referred to also as a mastopexy, is a form of cosmetic surgery that raises and firms the bosom.
It does this by the removal of excess skin.
Once the unnecessary skin is taken away from the chest, the surrounding tissue is then tightened and is reshaped by the doctor.
This process will support the new contour of the breast.
Having this procedure will enhance your appearance if the upper half of your body has dropped and no longer looks as if it is situated where it once was.
Over the course of time, a woman's breasts change.
The youthful firmness and shape that you once enjoyed can disappear.
In its place, you can be left with droopy and sagging breasts that suffer from a loss of skin elasticity.
This can occur as a result of fluctuations in weight, pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, heredity, and gravity.
In some females, the areolas get bigger as they get older.
Having a breast lift will improve this situation as well.
The mastopexy procedure will rejuvenate and renew your figure.
It will provide your bosom profile with an uplifted and younger appearance that is sure to please you.
What you must know straight away is that breast lift surgery does not significantly modify the size of your bosom, nor will it round out the upper portion of the bosom.
If you yearn for fuller, voluminous breasts you may wish to have a mastopexy as well as augmentation.
If on the other hand, you feel that your chest is too big, consider having the lift procedure with a reduction operation.
This is an individualized cosmetic procedure that if you decide to have it, you should do it for yourself and not to please someone else.
Do your research first and if you feel it is an operation that would suit you well, go for it.
A breast lift is a viable option for the female patient who is physically healthy and has maintained a stable weight for an extended period of time.
It is also the right choice for the woman who is bothered by sagging breasts that have lost their volume and shape.
If your chest is flatter, is pendulous looking, or has an elongated shape, you may make an eligible candidate.
Having realistic expectations about the procedure is important.
It is also recommended that a person who decides to have this operation does not smoke.
If after your take your brassiere off, your nipples drop below the crease in your bosom, this may be a suitable procedure that will enhance your upper body.
If your nipples and your areolas point in a downward direction or if you have enlarged areolas or stretched skin across your bosom, a breast lift could improve your figure.
If one of your breasts hangs lower than the other, a mastopexy will give you back the uplifted look that you once had.
