This procedure is designed to raise, reshape and firm sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning remaining tissue and nipples. The loss of skin elasticity, gravity and other factors including weight loss, pregnancy and breast-feeding can have a significant effect on the shape and firmness of a woman’s breast. This can help women that have breasts that are pendulous, but of satisfactory size. A breast lift can also correct breasts that lack substance or firmness. It can also treat nipples and areolas that point downward, especially if they are positioned below the breast crease. This procedure results in a more youthful breast contour.
