Over the years, factors such as pregnancy, nursing, and the
force of gravity take their toll on a woman’s breast. As the skin loses
elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy) is a surgical procedure to raise and re-shape sagging
breasts – at least for a time. (No surgery can permanently delay the effects
of gravity).
Mastopexy can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding
the nipple. If your breasts are small or have lost volume, perhaps after
pregnancy, a breast implant inserted in conjunction with Mastopexy can increase
both their firmness and their size. New techniques performed by Dr. Rosenthal
can minimize scarring. If you’re considering a breast lift, Dr. Rosenthal can
provide you specific information on how she would proceed in your particular
situation.
