Why Breast Lifts?

Simply because women, who are according to the standards set by beauty – ‘past their prime’, desire to look and feel young again. The wonderful part about a breast lift surgery is the pert and toned contours that breasts embody post-surgery.

A breast lift cosmetic procedure is not a surgery exclusively for older women however. Younger women, especially new mothers, and women who have small breasts are known to have a breast lift surgery as well.

Even then, plastic surgeons recommend a breast lift surgery only after the breasts have completed developing. Factors like pregnancy and breast-feeding are known to have a different effect on the shape of the breasts.

Breast lift surgery can also reduce the size of the areola as the procedure displaces the nipple from its previous position. The incisions made by the cosmetic surgeon are along the original contours of the breasts and removes the unwanted skin. The surrounding skin is then pulled down and the areola and nipples are lifted up.

At times, a breast lift surgery is supplemented by a breast augmentation surgery. Cosmetic surgeons insert silicone implants in the breast tissue to get breasts back in symmetry and prevent them from sagging.

The breast lift surgical procedure is purely cosmetic in nature and is included in the body contouring procedures that plastic surgeons devise for a complete body makeover. To know more about the breast lift surgery and its suitability for you, visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.
