Why have Breast uplift?
- Mastopexy is carried out to improve the shape and firmness of the breast after weight loss or pregnancy - breast feeding.
- Breast Uplift is performed to regain a more youthful natural size and shape of the breast and thereby improve self-esteem.
- Mastopexy is used to reshape the breasts and equalize differently shaped breast.
Unfortunately, aging, gravity, pregnancy and breast-feeding take its toll on the female breast.
With skin stretching and loss of elasticity, and loss of breast volume the breast sags abnormally, giving a typical aged appearance, breast drooping.
These changes can make many women very self-conscious and adversely affect their self-confidence and enjoyment of life.
Breast uplift - Mastopexy can improve the appearance of the droppy breast, and combined with breast implants the volume, and help regain a more youthful breast shape.
However, you should keep in mind that gravity and future pregnancies will have a damaging effect on your breasts and thus the results of breast uplift are rarely permanent.
The type of breast uplift operation required to achieve the best result for you will depend on your breast size and shape and will be discussed at your consultation.
Remember breast uplift surgery will not change you and solve any life crises, but should boost your self-confidence and enjoyment of life.
