Sagging breasts are a common concern for many women, often caused by aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. A mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure that raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening breast tissue. This creates a firmer, more youthful breast shape and appearance while repositioning the breasts to their proper place. It’s important to note that while a breast lift improves shape and firmness, it does not alter the size of the breasts unless combined with implants.

Breast Lift Procedure

A breast lift involves the following steps:

1. Incisions: Typically made around the areola, sometimes extending downward or along the breast crease, depending on the degree of lift required.
2. Reshaping Tissue: The surgeon lifts and reshapes the underlying breast tissue to improve firmness and contour.
3. Repositioning Nipples: The nipples and areolas are moved to a higher, more natural position. If necessary, enlarged areolas are reduced for better proportions.
4. Removing Excess Skin: To address loss of elasticity, excess skin is carefully removed to create a lifted, youthful look.

Mastopexy with Implants

While a breast lift repositions the breasts, it does not change their size or add volume. For patients who desire fuller breasts, a breast lift with implants can be performed.

• Procedure Combination:
  Implants are placed beneath the chest muscle after the breast lift is completed. This approach ensures both lifted and volumized results, with the implant enhancing the overall contour and shape.
• Patient Example:
  A 50-year-old patient underwent a combined breast lift and breast augmentation using Inspira 345 cc silicone implants. The lift eliminated excess skin and repositioned the nipples to a natural, desirable height. The implants provided additional fullness and balance, resulting in a youthful and proportionate appearance.

Who Should Consider a Breast Lift?

• Women with sagging breasts due to aging, pregnancy, weight loss, or genetics.
• Those looking to restore firmness and shape without increasing breast size.
• Patients seeking to add volume should consider combining the procedure with breast augmentation.

Benefits of a Breast Lif

• Restores a youthful breast position and contour.
• Improves firmness and symmetry.
• Corrects nipple position for a more balanced appearance.
