Breast Lift or Reduction
Excessively large, sagging breasts can be uncomfortable and distracting from a woman's appearance.
Mastopexy, or breastlift, raises the nipple-areolar complex to the normal position. Breast reduction not only raises the nipple, but also reduces the overall size of the breast. Unevenly shaped breasts can be balanced as well.
The breastlift incisions are confined to the breast cone. They are circular around the areola for small lifts. Larger lifts and reductions require a lollipop shaped design with a vertical incision running to the inframammary crease.
The surgery can be done in an outpatient surgicenter. The recovery is fast - a support bra is worn for one month. Many women resume work within one week.
A breastlift can make a dramatic change in your appearance and your outlook. Dresses fit better top and bottom.
A breast reduction can make your breasts look smaller and firmer. Many women find new enjoyment in sports, exercising and dancing.
