Breast Lift
Aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and gravity can all take a toll on the appearance of a woman’s breasts, leading to sagging and loss of firmness. The Breast Lift Procedure, also known as mastopexy.
A Breast Lift Procedure, or mastopexy, involves the surgical elevation and reshaping of the breasts to create a firmer and more youthful contour. Unlike breast augmentation, which increases breast size with implants, a breast lift focuses on repositioning the breast tissue and removing excess skin. This surgery can also reposition the nipples and areolas for a more aesthetically pleasing outcome.
