A Breast Lift lifts!: A breast lift is a cometic plastic surgery procedure designed to reposition the breast tissue, and nipple, higher on the chest. There are many types of lifts, which vary depending on the amount a lifting needed. As called a mastopexy, the breast lift can be performed alone or can be combined with breast augmentation to enlarge the breasts, or breast reduction when smaller is better.

Obviously, every patient's degree of breast drooping ( ptosis) differs; therefore a variety of different breast lifting techniques exist depending on the specific patients situation/goals.

Sag to Lift-Normalcy: A breast lift or mastopexy means lifting the sagged breast surgically, to not only position it higher on the chest from its sagged position but also shaping it back into a normal appearing breast. Unfortunately it does entail scars which detract from it being a totally normal looking breast but once the scars settle majority of women who undergo the procedure are extremely pleased with the result.
