Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
What is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift or mastopexy is a surgical procedure performed to remove excess skin, lifting and reshaping your breasts, to create a firmer and more pleasing shape. Pregnancy, breast feeding, ageing, and weight loss can all result in significant changes to women’s breasts. This procedure is for women who are happy with the volume of their breasts but would like to improve sagging tissue or downward-pointing nipples.
a. The excess fat and skin are removed
b. The breast is re-shaped, and the nipple is lifted
c. An anchor-shaped scar
