Breast Lift<\/h2>\n

The Problem:<\/strong> Inevitable life events cause the breasts to lose their shape and firmness. Multiple pregnancies, loss of skin elasticity due to aging, loss of breast volume and gravity are several factors that result in sagging breasts.
\nThe Goal:<\/strong> Mastopexy, or breast lift, is a procedure performed to elevate and reshape sagging breasts and reposition the nipple to a more desirable size. This procedure can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple.
\nThe Procedure:<\/strong> Women who are non-smokers, physically healthy and realistic in their expectations are the best candidates for this procedure. A breast lift may also be performed in conjunction with breast augmentation. Using breast implants, breast augmentation can give additional lift to the breast by increasing its volume.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
