Breasts often change over time, losing their youthful shape and firmness. These changes and loss of skin elasticity can result from many things such as changes in the body after pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, gravity, heredity and fluctuations in weight. A breast lift tightens a drooping breast by removing excess skin only. A very new technique uses an absorbable mesh to lift the breast like an “internal bra” but has a very limited clinical experience.
While a breast lift won’t significantly change the size of your breasts or round out the upper part of your breast, you can combine a breast lift with other procedures in order to achieve these results. For example, if you want your breasts to look fuller, consider breast lift and breast augmentation surgery; and if you want smaller breasts, consider combining breast lift and breast reduction surgery.
