Mastopexy And The Woman:

A breast lift or a mastopexy procedure is more of a cosmetic consideration rather than a health requirement. Certain cases however, can be called serious considerations for having this plastic surgery procedure.

Women who sometimes have one breast lower than the other or whose nipples and areolas droop downwards are reasons why a corrective breast lift is performed. Stretched skin over the breast, enlarged areolas, pendulous breasts and breasts with less volume are also reasons why you can go ahead with a breast lift procedure.

The main takers of a breast lift however, are the group of women who have just given birth or have stopped breast feeding. Plastic surgeons discourage the former group from having a breast lift on the heels of a delivery and encourage the latter to have one when they are sure that they no longer want to breast feed.

Breasts lifts are also popular among those above 50 years of age. The combined effects of gravity and age cause a lot of women to consider this cosmetic breast surgery procedure. Not everyone is blessed with Madonna’s brawn and stamina!

Before taking a decision to have a major elective surgery like breast lift, consult a plastic surgeon that you are sure is a member of or affiliated with a recognized plastic surgery board like the ASPS. Start your search from the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.
