As
time passes, pregnancy, nursing, excessive weight loss and gravity
have adverse effects on women's breasts causing them to lose their
elasticity, firmness, and shape. This creates a sagging appearance.
A breast lift is a procedure that corrects this condition using
a combination of removing excess breast skin, tightening the skin.
If desired, implants may be used to restore breasts to their natural
shape and size.
The best candidates for a breast lift (Mastopexy) are healthy,
emotionally stable women who are realistic about the result they
would like to achieve. A breast lift can enhance your appearance
and your self-confidence. The best results are achieved on women
with small, sagging breasts due to loss of skin elasticity secondary
to pregnancy and / or nursing, or weight loss. Those who plan
to have more children may want to postpone surgery, as the process
of pregnancy and breast-feeding may change the final result of
the surgery.
There are benefits to undergoing breast lift surgery, however
with any surgical procedure there is always the possibility of
complications occurring. Possible complications associated with
breast lift include bleeding and infection following surgery,
which may cause scars to widen, (poor healing and wider scars
are common in smokers). The procedure can also leave you with
different positioned nipples, or a change in feeling in the nipple
or breast.
