A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissue. This restores a more youthful, perky breast profile without necessarily changing breast size.During the procedure, your surgeon makes incisions around your areola and potentially down to the breast crease, depending on the degree of sagging. Through these incisions, they remove excess skin, lift and reshape breast tissue, and reposition your nipple and areola to a higher, more youthful position. The remaining skin is tightened to support your newly shaped breasts.Breast lifts address concerns that naturally occur with aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and gravity. When your breasts have lost their youthful shape and your nipples point downward, a breast lift restores firmness and elevation. The procedure doesn't significantly change breast size, though slight reduction may occur from removing excess tissue.
