Over the years many of the body parts begin to sag or droop due to aging and loss of elasticity in the skin or significant weight loss. The breasts are no exception and, in fact, are often the first to go due to pregnancy and nursing.
A breast lift or series of lifts can be performed to give the breasts a more youthful and "perky" appearance.
This procedure raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the remaining tissue and nipples to a more perky position. If desired, the size of the areola can be reduced during the procedure.
In some cases, breast implants are inserted at the same time to give the breasts a more rounded and natural appearance.
The dangers of breast cancer are no greater after this type of breast surgery, and self examination of your breast post-operatively is still possible and important.
