Breast Lift

“Breast lift” is a surgical procedure. This clinical method is carried out by specialists known as “plastic surgeons”. The medical terminology for the “breast lift surgery” is “Mastopexy”.

The Objective of Breast Lift

This operation is done to raise and firm up the breasts. Some people refer to this operation as ‘boob lift’. It gives a boosted appearance to sagging breasts that may happen due to many reasons.

The Philosophy

The philosophy guiding your breast lift must be to satisfy yourself and not to fulfill somebody else’s whims or desires. Remember you are paying a cost to bring about a permanent change in one of your most attractive and vital portions of your physique. Besides, once you go through the surgery, it would not be possible for you to get back the former shape of your breasts. Hence, it is important to keep in mind that nobody can hope to fit into the “ideal image” of a second person, no matter howsoever close that person may be to you.

The Strategy

The surgeon carries out breast lift by a two-way process. S/he removes the excess skin and tightens the tissues around the breasts for supporting and reshaping the contour of the newly designed breasts.

When Breasts Sag…

The breasts of women sag over time. As a result, the breasts suffer from the paucity of elasticity of the skin on and surrounding the breasts. This leads to a loss of the firmness and the youthful shape of the woman’s breasts. Breast lift is the ideal means to bring a rejuvenated look to the breasts. It can also reduce the enlarged areola.

Why Do Breasts Sag?

Breasts of women may sag due to the following factors:

• Weight fluctuations
• Breastfeeding
• Pregnancy
• Heredity
• Gravity
• Aging

Breast Lift Cannot Do…

Breast lift cannot do two things. For instance, it can’t round out the upper or top portion of your breasts. Nor can it bring about significant or eye-catching changes of your breasts.

The Options

Opt for a combination of breast reduction surgery (a section of breast lift) to have smaller breasts. Similarly, choose breast augmentation and breast lift to give that fuller look to your breasts.
