 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.Breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and
reshape sagging breasts, at least, for a time. (No surgery can
permanently delay the effects of gravity.) 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.
If you're considering a breast lift, Dr. Shell
can provide you
specific information on how he would proceed in your particular
situation.
