Breast surgery is one of the most common elective surgeries in the United States each year. While augmentation remains popular, the breast lift is growing quickly for patients who want perkier contours without implants. Visit our plastic surgery office to see before-and-after examples.
Also known as a mastopexy, a breast lift raises and reshapes breasts that may have begun to sag. If your breasts have lost their youthful appearance and firmness due to age or life changes, such as breast-feeding perhaps you should consider a breast lift.
A breast lift removes excess skin, tightens tissue, and repositions the nipple-areola complex for a more youthful profile. It does not enlarge breast size but can dramatically improve proportion.
Many women visit Dr. Grady Core seeking a breast lift in order to change the appearance of their breasts, but achieve a more natural look than that offered by a breast augmentation procedure. It is recommended that you not undergo a breast lift surgery until after your childbearing and breastfeeding activities are concluded. This will guarantee longer lasting results.
Dr. Core performs a vertical mastopexy, which means there will only be one scar, vertically from the nipple down into the fold underneath the breast. If necessary, your nipple and areola can be repositioned and sized to a more appropriate, but natural shape. Your breasts will be reshaped and rejuvenated, all without the need for implants.
