Breast Uplift
A breast uplift procedure is a common term for a
mastopexy
operation. Breast lifts are an excellent method for women to overcome emotional issues relating to their ptotic breasts.
Breast ptosis
is a normal and expected part of the aging process, which can be accelerated by certain factors such as childbirth,
breastfeeding,
breast size and genetics.

Non-Surgical Breast Uplift Techniques
Many women try to find an effective
non-surgical enhancement
method of achieving breast lift. While supportive lingerie, such as
pushup bras
and
bra inserts,
help to lift and define
sagging breasts
while dressed, these women have a far more difficult time achieving the same result when nude. Many topical products exist on the market, as well as a variety of alternative lifting procedures, such as
laser breast lift
and
electrostimulation.
Results for many of these treatments are mediocre at best and some are simply ineffective and suspected as being fraudulent.
Breast Uplift Surgery
Breast lift
comes in a variety of forms, each custom designed to help women with a particular set of breast ptosis characteristics. The attributes which generally define the level of procedure necessary are the size and condition of the
breasts,
as well as the degree of ptosis. The larger and saggier the breasts are presently, the more complicated and invasive the procedure will need to be in order to achieve acceptable results.
Small breasted
women or those with only minor sagging, predominantly near the
nipple,
are good candidates for the least invasive of the modified breast lift techniques, such as the
crescent lift
or
donut mastopexy
operations. Women with small to medium breasts with moderate ptosis might benefit most from the
Regnault mastopexy.
Women with medium to large breasts and moderate to heavy ptosis are suitable candidates for
vertical mastopexy.
Finally, women with
large breasts
and severe ptosis are best served by the
full mastopexy surgery.
Recommendation on Breast Uplift Procedures
Overcoming the emotional anguish of problematic breast ptosis is an important step for women who suffer from this body image concern. The
psychological
impact on a woman who is troubled by her sagging breasts can be severe and can even translate into psychosomatic physical pain complaints. Renewing the breasts via mastopexy can be a valuable treatment for this sensitive anatomical issue. If you have had enough of the degenerative effects of age and lifestyle related changes on your once pert and
perky breasts,
you can do something to turn back the clock. Talk to a qualified
cosmetic surgeon
about whether a breast lift might be just what you need to regain the breasts of your youth, or better yet, the breasts of your dreams. Share your own breast improvement story at our Breast Plastic Surgery Interactive Forum
