Also called mastopexy, raises and recontours loose, sagging breasts. A frequent reason for having this procedure is loss of breast tone after having children or after loss of a significant amount of weight.

A commonly performed breast lift technique uses incisions that follow your breast’s natural contour. The resulting scar, which is permanent encircles the areola and then extends ventrally down the breast and horizontally along the crease underneath the breast.

Women who have their breasts lifted often may decide to also have them enlarged. If this is the case, an implant is placed behind the chest muscle on which the breast rests. After surgery you should be able to return to work within one to two weeks.
