Adverse factors such as significant changes in weight, effects from aging and gravity, genetic laxity of breast tissue, and skin stretch from pregnancy can frequently weaken the elastic properties of the skin and when combined with pregnancy related volume loss, leads to a deflated breast shape with diminished fullness and firmness associated with an aged breast appearance. These changes can dramatically worsen a woman’s figure. Mastopexy (or “breast lift”) is a procedure performed to elevate, reshape and rejuvenate sagging and droopy breasts, restoring a more aesthetic appearance.
Now Miami breast lift patients visiting Christopher Craft Cosmetic Surgery have surgical options to alter the natural course and reshape the breast and restore a more youthful contour and more perky breast, leaving a younger and more beautiful you. By removing excess skin and loose sagging tissue and tightening the skin to a more lifted position a more attractive and “perky” breast contour can be achieved. This procedure is also ideal for the patient with nipples and areolas that are too low or widened, as the procedure can also be designed to raise the nipple and areola to a more ideal location, size, and shape.
The mastopexy procedure can be performed through a variety of different surgical techniques with differing degrees of complexity and scarring. Through extensive training and experience Dr. Craft can tailor the procedure to your individual anatomy and appearance desires.
Miami mastopexy patients who suffer from shoulder grooving and back or neck pain because of larger breast size may also attain some relief from these complaints along with the improved breast shape. This procedure is a common component of our “Miami mommy makeover” helping women reverse the effects of pregnancy and restore their confidence and femininity.
If you are looking to further lift and add volume particularly to provide a more desirable superior fullness to the breast, a breast augmentation can also be performed at the same time, in appropriate candidates.
