Breast Lift
Meaning
A breast lift, or breast mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes the breasts. The procedure will make breasts firmer and shapelier if they have sagged. Breasts lifts will not change the size of the breast.
Who needs breast lift?
If you look in the mirror and notice that your nipples point downward or sit below your breast crease, you may be a good candidate for a breast lift. Sagging tissue or the loss of volume can cause the nipple/areola to change position, stretch or become larger.
Is breast lift painful?
While discomfort or pain after surgery is to be expected, women usually mention that breast reduction or breast lift surgery is a lot less painful than what they expected. Generally people comment that it's more 'discomfort or pain limited to the incisions', rather than pain within the breasts or over the chest.
