Breasts in Balance: Mastopexy

A mastopexy, more commonly known as a breast lift, raises the anatomical breast and nipple placement by removing excess skin. It also helps tighten the surrounding tissue, firms and tones the skin to reshape and support the new breast profile. Breast lift surgeries must be custom tailored for each candidate to treat a particular amount of breast sagging criteria. The common deciding factors used to determine the best surgical approach include the degree of sagging, nipple position, supportive tissue, skin condition, breast shape and size.

There are several ways to perform the mastopexy procedures, but most common are the full breast lift and the concentric lift. A full breast lift may help women with moderate to severe breast and nipple sagging. Despite the incision, women who undergo the full mastopexy feel restored and more youthful with their shapelier curves! A concentric lift is primarily beneficial on women with little sagging to the breast, but poor nipple placement. Sometimes a concentric lift is used for a patient who suffer from large nipple size, or to raise one nipple sitting substantially lower than the other.
