Breast Lift

The surgical name for a Breast Lift is Mastopexy.  The procedure is performed to move a droopy nipple to the proper position on the chest.  There are two basic forms of mastopexy.  The Vertical Mastopexy which is used when a small amount of skin has to be removed and the nipple needs to be lifted a small distance.  It results in a “lollypop” type scar.  The Wise Mastopexy is used when large amounts of skin must be removed the nipple has to be raised a long distance.  It results in an “anchor” type of scar.  Breast implants do not raise the nipple position on the chest wall in most cases.

Breast Lift with Implants:  Breast implants can be placed at the same time the nipple is lifted if the client desires larger breasts.  Either of the lift techniques; however, the Vertical Mastopexy is used in most cases.

Breast Reduction:  Every breast reduction includes a breast lift.  Either technique can be used to perform a breast reduction.  The breast reduction removes breast tissue to decrease the size and weight of the breasts.  The breast reduction procedure can relieve back and neck pain in some clients.
