Breast reduction

What is BREAST LIFTING AND REDUCTION?

Breast lift or mastopexy is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts. Factors such as pregnancy, nursing, weight change, aging and gravity produce changes in the appearance of a woman’s breasts. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and begin to sag. Breast reduction is a surgery to raise, reshape and reduce the excessive glandular and fat tissues in hypertrophic sagging breasts. This operation can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin around the nipple. The best candidates for mastopexy or reduction are healthy, emotionally stable women who have realistic expectations about what this type of surgery can accomplish. There are a variety of different surgical techniques used for the reshaping and lifting of the female breast. This surgery can be performed in conjunction with other surgeries.
