Breast lift (also known as mastopexy) is a surgical procedure which addresses female breasts that hang low and droop. It can also be used to correct volume loss with silicone implant use.
This surgery aims to help lift and reshape the breasts. It can help with problems associated with excess breast skin, such as rashes, blistering, and irritation. It also improves mobility by removing the heavy hanging tissue, which may aid in exercise and additional weight loss.
The breast lift surgery is performed under a general anaesthetic and may take one to two hours to perform. You may need to stay in the hospital for 1 night after the surgery.
Does this procedure leave scars on my breasts?
It probably leaves some scars around the areolae and also down in a vertical line across the front of the breasts extending to a line across the underside of the breasts.
