Gravity gets us all eventually, doesn't it? If you're a woman whose breasts have gradually sunk lower and lower over the years, don't feel that you shouldn't have gone braless in your younger days or that you shouldn't have jogged so much.
Some women, especially larger breasted women, see saggy breasts in the mirror as early as their twenties as their size weighs them down. Most people who achieve significant weight loss discover an unfortunate side effect in their now droopy breasts.
And many women who have had children notice the deflating effect pregnancy and breastfeeding have on their curves.
The fact is, a shapely, perky bustline is critical to a youthful, attractive figure, and almost all of us are going to lose that distinctive profile over time.
If your shape doesn't fit the picture you have in mind, a breast lift may be in order. Many plastic surgeon has given women the breast lift they need to look better in their clothes and feel good about their bodies again.
Another unfortunate fact to face is that your breasts will continue to migrate toward the floor over time. Why not consider turning the clock back several years and getting a fresh, youthful start? Make an appointment with your plastic surgeon to find out more today.
Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, is similar to breast reduction. Your plastic surgeon most often makes an incision known as an anchor incision from the areola down to the crease under the breast and outward on both sides.
He removes excess skin that has sagged over the years, repositions the nipple and areola, and reshapes the breast by bringing down skin from around the nipple and stitching it together.
Many women elect breast lift surgery in combination with breast augmentation for added volume and a firm feel, and some decide to combine breast lift with breast reduction for a completely refreshed, younger-looking profile.
Women who have smaller breasts and minimal sagging can sometimes have parallel incisions around the areola to remove excess skin and tighten the breast position. This technique is known as a "doughnut" incision.
The surgery is most often performed under general anesthesia and takes ninety minutes to three and a half hours.

When you come in for your consultation with your plastic surgeon, to take measurements and discuss your goals with you. Your surgeon will take a complete medical history, and counsel you about factors that can influence healing such as smoking.
You'll be educated about what you can expect the day of your surgery and afterward. By the time your surgery date arrives, you'll be well informed and prepared for a smooth experience.
After surgery is complete and you have some time to recover, you'll go home with gauze dressings and an elastic bandage or a surgical bra. Dressings and sutures will be removed in a few days.
It's normal to experience some bruising, swelling, and discomfort for the first two or three days. These conditions can be managed with medication and they tend to subside rather quickly.
Many people return to work and some of their lighter activities in one week, the rest within two weeks. More strenuous activities such as vigorous exercise and heavy lifting need to be added back to your routine slowly and carefully.
Few patients have problems after breast lift surgery. Risks common to all types of surgeries are possible, however, including infection, excessive swelling, and wound problems. These conditions are almost always treatable.
Other complications that occasionally occur include numbness in the breasts or nipples. This most often subsides, though a small fraction of patients experience numbness indefinitely. Patients sometimes find their scars to be unacceptable. Though excessive scarring is also rare, scars can be reduced on an outpatient basis.
