Breast Lift Information To Mull Over

A breast lift offers a woman the opportunity to have firmer breasts that sit higher up on her chest. A lift for the breast, known surgically as mastopexy, is performed in order to raise and alter the placement of the breasts and the nipples. It is also done to firm and tone skin and tissue that is drooping or has lowered (known as ptotic skin).

While there is no magical plastic surgery procedure that can permanently stop gravity from doing its job, the breast lift is a viable form of surgery that can both raise as well as reshape the bosom for a certain duration of time. For those women who feel that the darker skin that surrounds their nipples (known as the areola) is too large and too protrusive, a mastopexy can reduce the size to one that the patient will be happy with.

For women who suffer either from physical problems or psycho-emotional issues due to their drooping breasts, a lift will not just make them look better but can give them back the confidence that they have lost. Ptotic breasts are not usually a medical concern that need to be addressed, but they can cause a great deal of emotional and mental anguish that can lead to other issues in a woman’s life.

There are many reasons why a woman may decide that she wants to have breast lift surgery. While there are some cultures throughout the world that view drooping and lowered breasts as a sign of fertility, motherhood, femininity and maturity, many women in cultures such as our own are distressed to see what they feel are the definitive signs of aging creeping up on them. Not only does the process of aging lead to a bosom that is lower on the body. The cycles of weight gain and loss, childbirth and breastfeeding also contribute.

The decision to have a breast lift is a big one. It is important that you select the surgeon who will do the procedure with the utmost care. Trust your body as well as your health and well being to no one but the absolute best in the field! If you consult with a cosmetic surgeon and your instinct tell you that this is not the professional for you then keep looking. There are plenty of cosmetic surgeons around and the one for you could be right around the corner!

Find out all that you need to about the mastopexy procedure. Educate yourself about the options that are available to you. From there you can choose the option that is most well matched with the results you wish to achieve. For instance not all women require a full mastopexy unless their ptosis has reached the point where it could be deemed severe. For many women there are modified breast lift procedures that will provide them with the look that they are seeking for their breasts. Ask the surgeon you have chosen which procedure would be most fitting for you and will be most in line with the look that you want for your chest.
