Breast lift surgery is one of the most requested procedures at My Cosmetic Surgery. This treatment is ideal for women seeking to regain the firmness and youthfulness of their breasts through an effective cosmetic procedure. Also known as mastopexy, this surgery focuses on eliminating breast sagging, elevating the breasts, and enhancing their overall appearance. Additionally, the position of the areola and nipple is adjusted to achieve a natural and harmonious result. If you’re looking for a significant change in your silhouette, a breast lift may be the perfect solution for you.
A breast lift is the ideal solution for women wanting to improve the appearance of their breasts and combat sagging and loss of firmness. This cosmetic surgery has proven to be highly effective in restoring the upright position of the breasts, whether in cases of slight drooping or severe breast ptosis. By choosing a breast lift, patients not only achieve a more youthful appearance but also gain confidence and satisfaction with their bodies.
Specialists have established standardized anatomical measurements indicating the need for a surgical breast lift procedure. The distance between the sternal notch (the visible dip at the top of the human chest where the neck meets the sternum) and the nipple indicates the height of the breasts for each woman. For the average woman, the ideal distance is between 19 to 21 centimeters. In taller women, this distance increases to 21-22 cm, while in petite women, the average measurement would be between 17 and 19 cm.
Other standard dimensions indicate that the ideal diameter of the areola (the pigmented skin surrounding the nipple) should be 4 cm, the diameter of the nipple approximately 1 cm, the projection or height of the nipple around 1.2 cm, and the distance from the nipple to the inframammary fold (the crease formed because of breast sagging) is usually about 7 cm. Of course, various factors influence these measurements, such as the woman’s height, the size of her hips and shoulders, and her overall appearance. Just as breast self-examination is traditionally performed, these measurements should be taken while standing in front of a mirror with the help of a measuring tape.
Patients interested in breast lift surgery must ensure they are in optimal physical and mental condition. It is essential to have a realistic perspective on their bodies and the results they can expect from this surgery. Ideal candidates should be in good general health, maintain a healthy weight, refrain from smoking, and not be pregnant or planning a pregnancy in the months following the procedure.
