Let’s continue this week’s article with a quiz:
What is the main goal of a mastopexy (breast lift)?
A. Increase breast size
B. Reduce breast size
C. Lift and reshape sagging breasts
D. Remove breast implants
E. Reduce areola pigmentation
And the correct answer is: C. Lift and reshape sagging breasts
With nearly 40 years of experience in plastic surgery, I’ve guided thousands of women through the journey of breast rejuvenation. One of the most rewarding and transformative procedures I perform is a mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift.
So, what is a mastopexy? Simply put, it’s a surgical procedure that lifts and reshapes sagging breasts. Over time, factors like gravity, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, genetics and aging take a toll on breast shape and skin elasticity. A mastopexy addresses these changes by removing excess skin, repositioning the nipple and areola, and reshaping the breast tissue to create a more youthful contour.
