Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Breast lift or mastoplexy

Aging and childbirth can bring wisdom and happiness to your life. It also can lead to sagging and drooping breasts. We can help restore the youthful appearance of your breasts and correct drooping with a breast lift.

During a breast lift, excess skin is removed and breast tissue is reshaped to restore firmness and raise the breasts and nipples on the chest. Incisions can be made around the darker area surrounding the nipples (areola), downward to the breast creases and horizontally along the creases.
