Understanding When You Need a Breast Uplift Surgery

Before and After Photos of a Breast Uplift Surgery

 


Certain events in a woman’s life such as being a mother and losing a lot of weight can result to their bust to sag which can affect their confidence. In the medical world, the dropping of the breast is referred to as ptosis. In this case, a breast uplift surgery or mastopexy is needed to bring back the firmness and shape of the bust.

The first and important thing to do is to find out if you truly have ptosis. Go in front of the mirror and examine the look of your bust and the positioning of your nipples.

Take note of the inframammary fold which is situated under the breast then place a pencil on it. When the nipple is of the same level as that of the pencil on the inframammary fold, then it’s a sure sign that your breast is sagging and requires a breast uplift operation. This stage of ptosis is considered to be mild or in grade two condition. You don’t have anything to worry about mastopexy when your nipples are on top of the fold because it simply indicates that your bust is in normal shape.

On the other hand, a nipple that is positioned under the inframammary fold means a severe ptosis. The nipples can either be in a downward or forward spot below the fold. When the space amidst the sternal notch and the nipples is so huge, then it’s essential that you get a breast uplift surgery to correct the issue effectively.

A mastopexy will work well as long as the patient got sufficient bust tissue to help lift the sagging breasts. But for cases of ptosis with lesser breast tissue, a bust augmentation plus breast uplift surgery must be done together to add volume to the bust, lift the nipples and tighten those drooping skin.


Adrian Richards talks about breast ptosis (breast droop). A Breast Uplift (Mastopexy) is an operation to lift and re-shape sagging breasts, giving a firmer, more youthful-looking bust line.This procedure can not make small breasts larger or reduce large breasts.
