A breast lift, also called mastopexy, ranks among the most requested cosmetic procedures at My Cosmetic Surgery. Many women choose this surgery to restore breast firmness and a youthful shape. The procedure reshapes and elevates the breasts while improving overall balance and confidence.
Understanding the Purpose of a Breast Lift
A breast lift corrects sagging by elevating breast tissue and improving contour. Surgeons also reposition the nipple and areola to create a natural appearance. This approach restores harmony without changing breast volume unless combined with implants.
Women often consider mastopexy to improve breast shape, address loss of firmness, or correct significant drooping. The procedure helps patients feel more comfortable with their body and appearance.
Common Reasons Women Choose Mastopexy
Many factors lead women to consider a breast lift. Aging, pregnancy, weight changes, and genetics often cause breast sagging. Mastopexy offers a reliable solution for these concerns.
Patients typically seek this surgery to improve breast position, restore symmetry, and enhance their silhouette. These improvements often increase self-confidence and comfort in clothing.
How Surgeons Evaluate Breast Lift Candidacy
Plastic surgeons evaluate several anatomical factors before recommending a breast lift. Patient goals matter, but medical assessment guides the final decision. Surgeons measure breast position to determine the degree of sagging.
One key measurement involves the distance from the sternal notch to the nipple. Ideal ranges vary by body type. Average-height women usually fall between 19 and 21 centimeters. Taller women often measure 21 to 22 centimeters. Petite women usually range from 17 to 19 centimeters.
Surgeons also assess areola size and nipple position relative to the breast fold. They adjust these details based on height, shoulder width, and body proportions.
Health Requirements for Breast Lift Candidates
Good health supports safe surgery and smooth recovery. Candidates should maintain a stable weight and follow healthy habits. Smoking interferes with healing, so non-smokers qualify more easily.
Women should avoid pregnancy before and after surgery to protect results. Realistic expectations also play an important role. Understanding achievable outcomes helps ensure satisfaction.
