Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

When the breasts sag with age or after pregnancy they can be repositioned higher to look more youthful. This is often done in conjunction with placing implants behind the breasts to also make them larger. There are several different choices about where the scars will be placed, depending in part on how much the breasts must be lifted. When someone undergoes breast reconstruction after a mastectomy, a breast lift can be performed on the other breast to make the breasts more symmetrical.
