BREAST LIFT - Mastopexy
Over
the years, factors such as pregnancy, nursing,
and the force of gravity take their toll on
a woman's breasts. As the skin loses its elasticity,
the breasts often lose their shape and firmness
and begin to sag. Breastlift, or mastopexy,
is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape
sagging breasts. Mastopexy can also reduce the
size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding
the nipple. If your breasts are small or have
lost volume--for example, after pregnancy--breast
implants inserted in conjunction with mastopexy
can increase both their firmness and their size.

and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess
skin and repositioning remaining tissue and
