Restoring a Youthful Position

A breast lift, or mastopexy, raises and reshapes sagging breasts for a firmer, more youthful contour. Different techniques address varying degrees of ptosis (sagging).

Common Techniques

The crescent lift is used for minimal sagging, the periareolar lift for mild cases, and the anchor or inverted-T lift for more significant drooping. Each technique involves different incision patterns and scar placements.

Choosing Your Approach

Your surgeon will recommend a technique based on your breast shape, size, and degree of sagging. Some patients combine a lift with augmentation for added volume and fullness.
