What is a Breast Lift?
Breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is an aesthetic procedure that trims off excess skin and compacts surrounding tissue in order to raise and reshape sagging or drooping breasts.
At our affiliated clinic, 2 different techniques can be used depending on the patients:
· Anchor technique
Incision is made around the areola, horizontally along the crease and vertically down from the breast crease
· Periareolar Technique
Incision is made around the areola only.
General Breast Lift Procedure
1. General anaesthesia is conducted.
2. Incision outlines are made at the area where breast skin will be removed.
3. The new location of the nipple is defined.
4. Removal of the excess skin.
5. Nipple and the areola are repositioned to a higher position.
