It is no secret that many women notice a change in the shape of their breasts as they get older. Sagging and drooping breasts<\/strong> often occur as a result of significant weight loss, pregnancy, breastfeeding and the natural ageing process as the skin loses much of its youthful elasticity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, it is possible to restore the shape and firmness of the breasts<\/strong> with breast lift surgery. The procedure, also known as mastopexy, works by removing excess tissue and repositioning the nipples. It is a highly effective procedure and, in some cases, can be combined with breast implant surgery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is also best to undergo surgery only once a healthy and stable body weight has been achieved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Patients need to be in overall good health<\/strong> before undergoing surgery and should not smoke. For people who are considering this procedure, it is best to meet with your surgeon\u00a0 to discuss any questions or concerns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
