“Ptosis” of the breasts, also known as breast droop, and
“deflation” of the breasts can occur after pregnancy, after significant weight
loss or with age. A mastopexy reshapes the breast by rearranging the breast
tissue, redraping loose breast skin, and lifting the nipples and areolas to a
higher and more aesthetic position on the breast.
The goal of “mastopexy” (breast lift) is to create a
perkier, lifted, more youthful breast shape. Your mastopexy result should look
natural, like you were just born that way! Mastopexy surgery can help to
improve a woman’s body image, and in many instances can help “lift” her
self-esteem and self-confidence!
A breast lift rejuvenates sagging breasts to an elevated and
more aesthetic position, but does not increase the overall breast volume.
Sometimes, a breast implant is placed at the same time as mastopexy to achieve
a fuller, enhanced breast with more projection in addition to a breast lift.
Good candidates for mastopexy include women who are healthy,
in good physical shape, and at their ideal body weight (or a stable weight
following major weight loss).
Typical breast lift patients include women who have
satisfactory volume but sagging breasts that lack substance or firmness (breast
“deflation”), and/or with nipples and areolas pointing downward (breast
“ptosis”). Many women with droopy breasts state they are “happy in a bra” and
they just wish to have that effect with a breast lift.
Moms may find they miss the shape and fullness of their
breasts from the time before they had children, or possibly the fullness of
while they were nursing their babies. Other women are seeking better symmetry
of their breasts if one is a significantly different size or shape than the
other, or if their breasts have a “tubular shape”.
