Gravity, weight gain/loss, pregnancy and aging all have an impact on the breasts. It is normal for breasts to begin to sag over time, especially for women who have gained and lost weight. Many women of all ages are unhappy with their breasts due to skin and tissue drooping. Mastopexy, or breast lift surgery, is the solution to remove excess skin and elevate the breasts into the desired position. Dr. Daniel Del Vecchio at Uptown Body Contouring offers breast lift surgery to obtain more youthful breasts at our clinic in NYC.
Stretched skin and sagging breast tissue can result in breasts hanging much lower than most women desire. Pregnancy and weight loss are two of the biggest contributors to sagging breasts in younger women, but anyone can experience changes in their breasts as they get older. Our patients seeking breast lift surgery often complain that their nipples point downward, or the breasts seem longer. Some have breasts that are flattened and lack projection. All these issues can be resolved with mastopexy.
Youthful Breasts with Mastopexy
With mastopexy, excess skin is removed, and the breasts are lifted and reshaped. Some patients who thought they needed or wanted breast augmentation actually only needed a breast lift to get the size and shape they desire. Dr. Del Vecchio can create the shape and appearance preferred by the patient to match their natural body type or preferences. Some patients will also have their areolas or nipples resized to match their new breast size and shape. If larger breasts are preferred, an augmentation with fat transfer or breast implants can be performed with the mastopexy procedure.
Breast lift surgery gives many of our patients more confidence in their appearance. In many cases, the new breast shape is even better than it was when the patient was younger. If you are unhappy with your breasts due to drooping or sagging, come see us at Uptown Body Contouring.
