Breast Lift With Implants - Sydney Plastic Surgeon Dr. Choy
It’s normal for breast skin to loose elasticity as you grow older. The breasts, like the rest of the body, tend to drop and loose firmness with age. The drooping can increase with pregnancy, genetics, weight gain and weight loss. Breast lift surgery or mastopexy can lift and reshape your breasts.
A breast lift involves removing excess skin from either underneath the breast or around the areola. The skin is tightened, creating a firmer cone of breast tissue, and the nipple is moved to a higher position to give a more aesthetic and proportionate appearance.
If you have lowered breasts and a loss of fullness in the top portion of your breasts, a breast augmentation (implant) and breast lift may address your concerns. The breast implant fills up the extra skin of the breast, restoring the fullness that was in the upper aspect of the breasts.

Making an Informed Decision
