As
we age, all areas of our body gradually sag and droop. The breasts
are no exception. The condition of sagging breasts, known as ptosis,
may be accelerated by pregnancy, breast-feeding and weight loss.
Fortunately, the procedure of a breast lift can restore your breasts
to a more vibrant and youthful shape.
A breast lift (mastopexy) involves moving the nipple and breast
tissue to a higher level on your chest so that the nipple will lie
at the level of the breast fold, a position considered to be ideal
based on measurements taken from models. The skin below the nipple
is then tightened and contoured to your new shape. A breast lift
can be done with or without a breast implant for breast enlargement,
a decision that will be based on your personal goals and the amount
of available breast tissue.
At
the Plastic Surgery Center, P.C., Dr. Hopkins is one of the few
plastic surgeons in the area to offer the vertical, or short-scar,
breast lift. In this procedure, much of the loose skin on the lower
portion of the breast is tightened rather than removed. This approach
eliminates a long scar in the breast fold and achieves a natural,
youthful shape.
