Breast Lift/ Mastopexy
What is a Mastopexy?
A mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure aimed at elevating and reshaping the breasts to achieve a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing contour. The surgery involves the removal of excess skin and the repositioning of the nipples to a higher, more youthful position. The incision patterns used during a mastopexy are typically similar to those in breast reduction. This procedure can be performed alone to enhance breast firmness and shape, or in combination with other procedures such as breast augmentation or implant replacement, to achieve a more comprehensive transformation of the breast appearance.
