Breast Lift
Raise and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning remaining tissue and nipples, for women whose breasts have lost substance and shape, are pendulous, or have nipples that are directed down. Incisions are used that follow natural breast contour lines. Nipple and areola are elevated, and breast is reshaped and repositioned. Some breast enlargement may be necessary if breasts have also lost volume or size. Breast enlargement, or augmentation, can be performed at the same time.
