A natural part of the female ageing process is the sagging or drooping of the breasts. Sagging can occur with normal development or as part of ageing. Pregnancy, breastfeeding and weight loss are also major causes of breast ptosis (sagging).
A breast lift or mastopexy can improve the shape and position of the breasts and areola/nipple complex.
- Assist with Breast shape after pregnancy or weight loss
- Remove excess skin and elevate the breasts
