For many, a youthful cleavage is one that is full and shows off an attractive contour. Over time, the breasts can lose volume and elasticity, leading to sagging breasts that have lost their youthful appearance. You can regain attractive breasts with a breast lift. Dr. Gowda, performs breast lifts to help patients achieve a perkier breast contour, which can contribute to a boost in confidence and improved body image. In this blog, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gowda takes you through the benefits of the breast lift procedure and what results you can expect.
What Is Breast Lift
Also called mastopexy, a breast lift is a procedure performed by a plastic surgeon that repositions the breasts and improves their appearance. It accomplishes this through the removal of excess skin and the recontouring of breast tissue to create a youthful shape. Patients may consider a breast lift if they experience breast ptosis (sagging), nipples that are positioned downward or are below your breast crease, and areolas that are unproportionate.
This procedure will not change the breast size, but this procedure can be combined with other size-altering surgeries, such as breast augmentation and breast reduction.
Breasts can lose volume, firmness, and other changes due to a variety of causes, including:
Weight fluctuations: When you gain or lose a significant amount of weight, you can expect visible changes in the breast. When the skin on the breast is stretched, it may become less elastic. This leads to sagging.
Pregnancy: Fuller and heavier breasts during pregnancy can put a lot of pressure on the skin. Pregnancy-related weight gain can cause stretching and a loss of volume.
Gravity: Gravity affects your body as you age, and the downward pull on your breasts could contribute to sagging.
Benefits of Breast Lift
When it comes to restoring a youthful cleavage, a breast lift is an excellent choice. Cleavage is described as the closeness of the breasts which can be seen in low-cut clothing. Those with sagging and volume loss may experience a reduction in cleavage. Dr. Gowda offers breast lift procedures that address these issues and provide a more attractive appearance. Although breast lift alone cannot increase the size of the upper pole region, the act of repositioning the breast to a higher location on the chest can improve the look of cleavage.
