Many women undergo breast lift surgery (or mastopexy) to help restore the breast to a more natural, elevated position. The effects of gravity, weight loss, and/or pregnancy can cause the breast skin to become stretched and sag, leaving the breast looking droopy and pendulous. During breast lift surgery, excess skin and breast tissue are removed and the breast is repositioned to a more aesthetically pleasing location on the chest.

While some women choose to undergo breast augmentation during breast lift surgery, this is not always necessary and is a choice each patient should make with the help of a board certified cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon like Atlanta plastic surgeon Dr. Franklyn Elliott. Board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery since 1984, Dr. Elliott specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery. He prides himself on creating natural-looking breast surgery results using his nearly 30 years of surgical experience.
