Breast Lift
A breast lift will raise and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the remaining tissue and nipples. The mastopexy takes about two hours and you can go home to recover after the surgery. Excess skin is removed and breasts and nipples are reshaped and lifted, restoring a more youthful contour. You may be up and around a day or so after the surgery but returning to work depends on your job. Strenuous activities, such as an exercise program, are best avoided for about one month. Eventually over many months, scars fade and flatten, but they are permanent. A bra or even two piece swim suit will generally cover any visible scars.
As time goes by, many women notice a gradual change in the size, shape and feel of their breasts. Pregnancy and breast feeding can cause the breasts to sag, droop and soften. A breast lift or mastopexy can correct this problem.
