Mastopexy: Breast lift surgery also referred to as "mastopexy" breast lift surgery is frequently done in conjunction with breast augmentation and breast reduction. In many cases, breast implants are utilized during a breast lift in order to "lift" the breasts by increasing their volume and content. It is done in an effort to reduce sagging and to achieve firmer and shapelier breasts. I hope this will help.

Mastopexy Varies: Generally speaking, breast lift surgery involves moving the breasts and the nipple/areola complexes up on the chest wall. Depending on the specific patient's situation, this operation usually involves “tightening” of the breast skin envelope, after removal of loose skin. The trade-off associated with the operation is the presence of scars; the benefit is an improved positioning of the breasts.

Address anatomy: The best lift for you will vary with the extent of your anatomic "deviation" for the perceived goal which essentially relate to breast tissue and a nipple-areolar-complex that are positioned above the breast crease ( see pencil test) . You must also be assessed for breast volume and skin redundancy. Taking all of these into consideration will help to determine the best options for you to review.
