Raise your breasts to a more youthful position
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour.
A woman’s breasts change over time, losing their youthful shape and firmness and begin to sag or droop. These changes, including loss of skin elasticity, can result from pregnancy, breast feeding, weight fluctuations and gravity. A Mastopexy, or breast lift, is appropriate for women who wish to improve breast shape and position.
Breasts that have lost their firm, uplifted contours can affect a woman’s self-image and confidence. Dr. Gray often recommends a Mastopexy to reposition the breast tissue and restore the nipple and areola to a more superior position. A breast lift raises and firms sagging or drooping breasts by removing excess skin and re-suspending the breast to the chest wall, supporting the new breast contour. Often, a breast lift will reduce the size of the areola (pigmented skin around the nipple) which has become enlarged over time.
Breast Lift with Augmentation
Mastopexy Augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure that combines a breast lift with breast enlargement using implants. The goal of this surgery is to enhance both the position and size of the breasts.
A breast lift with augmentation is appealing for patients who want more comprehensive improvement to their breast appearance with a single combined surgical procedure. Often a patient might think that they want a breast augmentation alone, but may really need an augmentation with breast lift to give them the volume and more youthful position they desire.
Many women find that breast lift augmentation surgery creates a pleasing overall shape and proportion, restoring the breasts to a more youthful position while enlarging total volume. Mastopexy augmentation is often considered by women who have lost a significant amount of weight, mothers whose breast tissue has changed following childbirth and breast feeding, and women with substantial breast asymmetry.
