6 Breast Lift Benefits
A breast lift surgery, also known as a mastopexy, removes sagging tissue and repositions the nipples and surrounding tissue to improve the overall appearance of breasts. Patients with droopy breasts, asymmetric breasts, and/or patients who have nipples that sit too low can benefit from a breast lift. Some benefits of a breast lift include:
1. RESHAPING BREASTS AND THEIR CONTOUR
A breast lift can enhance breast shape and contour by removing excess tissue and lifting the breast tissue for a more youthful appearance.
2. RESTORING BREAST FIRMNESS
Repositioning breasts is only one part of a breast lift; a breast lift also improves the look and feel of breasts. During a breast lift, Dr. Crofts uses different techniques to lift and tighten the breasts, including a bulk flap procedure. The bulk flap procedure preserves as much of your natural tissue as possible and repositions it to provide additional upper pole fullness and perkiness.
3. NIPPLE REPOSITIONING AND AREOLA ENHANCEMENT
One of the most common reasons patients seek a breast lift is nipple positioning. If breasts are droopy, nipples tend to sit lower or even point downward. When breasts are reshaped, Dr. Crofts will also reposition nipples, and can even reshape and resize the areola, to a more symmetric, upward position.
4. YOUTHFUL BREAST APPEARANCE
Perky and symmetrical breasts are associated with youthfulness. However, the natural process of aging, post-pregnancy, weight loss, breast feeding, genetics, or a combination of these can cause breast ptosis, or sagging. A breast lift restores breasts to a more youthful position, shape, and projection.
5. REDUCING IRRITATION UNDER BREASTS
Sagging breasts can lead to skin irritation caused by chafing. A breast lift can address any discomfort, skin irritation, and/or chafing by removing excess breast tissue.
6. BOOSTING SELF-ESTEEM AND CONFIDENCE
Beyond the physical benefits of a breast lift, this procedure can also significantly increase a woman’s confidence. Feeling more confident about your appearance can increase your self-esteem and confidence in your personal relationships, professional spaces, and your overall happiness.
