A breast lift, also called mastopexy, is a surgical procedure performed by a plastic surgeon to tighten and raise the sagging breasts and thus improve their appearance. This helps to

Make your breasts appear more rounded and symmetrical.
Tighten your breast tissue to support your nipples and areolas.
#2. Why is a breast lift needed?
Breasts lift surgery is needed when your breasts lose their elasticity and firmness and do not snap back into place after being stretched. This can happen due to:
Aging: When skin becomes less elastic and firm.
Pregnancy: When the breast tissue bands supporting them, stretch because they get fuller and heavier during pregnancy. This causes sagging breasts, not depending on whether you breastfeed or not.
Weight changes: This can cause the breast skin to stretch and may result in loss of elasticity.
Gravity: Over time, gravity causes the breasts’ ligaments to stretch and sag.
A breast lift can reduce sagging and raise the position of the nipple and the areolae (darker areas surrounding the nipples).

#4. How to prepare for a breast lift procedure?
For a breast lift procedure, you will have to consult a plastic surgeon who will review your detailed medical history and thoroughly assess you through physical examination.

A mammogram: A baseline mammogram before the procedure and later will help to see the changes in your breast tissue and interpret them accordingly.
Stop smoking: You will need to stop smoking as it interferes with the blood flow and resultantly affects healing.

The surgeon will mark the new position of the nipple of your breasts in the standing position.
Then you will be given anesthesia to help you relax and relieve pain or make you sleep during the procedure.
Your surgeon will then cut around the areola and extend it down the front of your breast, from the bottom of the areola to the crease. These may also extend along the areola sides.
They will lift the breasts and move the areolas in the correct position to their new shape to a natural and more youthful height. They may also reduce their size.
