Breast Lift (Mastopesty)​
​
Also known as Mastopexy, breast lift surgery is used to elevate saggy breasts and re-contour them in order to enhance the shape of a woman’s body and recreating a youthful look.
Beware that pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight fluctuations might increase the sagging of the breasts, resulting in the appearance of excess skin and loss of firmness.
DID YOU KNOW?
​
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), every year, thousands of women undergo successful breast-lift surgery, experience no major problems and are pleased with the results.
​
In breasts that are saggy and have very little volume, your surgeon might propose the combination of a breast implant to the mastopexy to increase the upper pole fullness or “décolleté”.
