Breast Augmentation Reduction Lift

Breast augmentation revision, where larger implants are changed to smaller implants, requires making the inside pocket smaller and generally a skin tightening procedure (mastopexy). A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. Sometimes the areola becomes enlarged over time, and a breast lift will reduce this as well. A breast lift can rejuvenate your figure with a breast profile that is more youthful and uplifted. A woman’s breasts often change over time, losing their youthful shape and firmness. There are many different breast lift techniques. This periareolar breast lift technique: lifts the nipple to a more normal position, creates a more youthful shape to the breast emphasizing minimal scarring (scars only around the nipple).
