How Mastopexy Lifts & Shapes for More Youthful-Looking Breasts

Within the over 25 years of experience specializing in and mastering breast procedures, board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Franklyn Elliott has found that many patients are disheartened by the droopy appearance and lax skin of the breasts that often accompanies age, heredity weight gain, and pregnancy/breastfeeding. Many women who identify with these qualities may benefit from breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy.

Due to numerous factors, women can become dissatisfied with their breasts’ firmness, shape, or lack thereof. Mastopexy remedies the unwanted effects of these circumstances by simply raising the position of sagging breasts. Once positioned, Dr. Elliott removes excess skin and tightens tissue left behind while reshaping the breasts based on your individual needs and aesthetic goals.

As an added benefit to proper candidates, breast lift surgery can be combined with breast augmentation or breast reduction. For example, for patients looking to lift breasts and increase volume, breast implants can used in combination with breast lift surgery.  If you seek to reduce sagginess and too much volume, Dr. Elliott may perform breast reduction surgery simultaneously with the lift.

Breast lift surgery is commonly performed within mommy makeover procedures. Pregnancy can alter multiple areas of the body including breasts, abdomen and unwanted fat pockets. These customized combinations of procedures are tailored to individual women to restore the body to its pre-pregnancy state. Within the procedure, breast augmentation, lift, or reduction, tummy tuck, and/or liposuction will be performed.
