Treating the Effects of Weight Loss with a Breast Lift

A breast lift is an effective way to address these changes. In contrast with breast augmentation, a breast lift, or mastopexy, does not add volume to the breasts or use implants. Rather, the natural tissue of the breast is rearranged and secured in a higher position, and excess skin is removed as needed. In many cases, the nipple may be raised to give a more symmetric appearance. The breast lift is very similar to the breast reduction in procedure, but generally no major tissue removal or size reduction is performed with a breast lift.

Weight Loss May Greatly Affect the Body Contours

Significant changes in body weight are rarely distributed evenly across the body. Inevitably, tissue volume seems to be lost from areas where it would be desirable, and remain in areas where it would not, such as the abdomen, arms and thighs. Breast and buttock lifts or augmentations are often used to treat these developments. Another result that many women experience following a change in weight is asymmetric breast volume or appearance. One breast may be different in size, position or overall shape than the other, all situations that may be treated through a breast lift procedure. With any breast lift procedure, the goal is not to recreate exactly the previous appearance of the breasts, but rather to create a proportional and balanced overall effect. This involves proper positioning of the breast tissue, nipple line and symmetry. The final results are breasts that more naturally reflect the overall shape and appearance of your body, giving an impression of overall health and fitness to your chest that better reflects your weight loss.
