What is breast lift or mastopexy?


Breast lift, also called mastopexy, is a surgical procedure which is used to lift sagging breasts (ptosis) that have lost their firmness. The word “mastopexy” means fixation of a pendulous breast, but in mastopexy tissues are only repositioned. Breast lift can be performed in healthy women of any age. This procedure is not advisable for women who are pregnant, girls that have not yet completed their growth or women who are in the post-partum period. It is important to understand that a fertile woman who has had a mastopexy and after some time gets pregnant, she might require a new surgery to reshape breasts. If you have considered losing weight, it is better to do it before having the breast lift.
