A breast lift is a way of reshaping the breast by removing excess skin and rearranging your own existing breast tissue in such a way that it looks fuller and more lifted.
Breast ptosis or descent of the breast tissues can affect women of all ages and can occur for various reasons; post pregnancy, after massive weight loss or some congenital breast conditions.
If there is both breast ptosis and a loss of breast volume, additional procedures may be required to correct this such as an augmentation mastopexy or a fat transfer breast augmentation.
