A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts, restoring a more youthful and firmer appearance. It involves removing excess skin, repositioning the nipples, and tightening the surrounding tissue. However, a breast lift alone does not add volume to the breasts, which may still appear smaller after the procedure.
Breast implants are often combined with a breast lift to enhance the size and volume of the breasts. Implants, available in various sizes and shapes, are placed behind the breast tissue or chest muscle to add fullness and projection. This combination helps to achieve both lift and enhanced breast volume for a fuller, more balanced appearance.
The decision to combine a breast lift with implants depends on individual goals and anatomy. While a breast lift addresses sagging and reshapes the breast, implants provide volume and shape. Together, they can create a more youthful, natural-looking breast contour, improving both aesthetics and self-confidence.
