Mastopexy (breast lift) is a surgical procedure to lift and reshape the breasts. As a woman ages, gravity, pregnancy, and weight changes can affect the shape and feel of a woman’s breasts. The skin of the breast weakens and although the volume of the breast remains unchanged the breasts often appear flattened, low and less firm. During mastopexy surgery the extra skin is remodeled tightening the feel of the breast while repositioning the breast to a more youthful position. Some women opt to increase the volume of the breasts with implants at the time of the mastopexy.
