My Breasts Sag, but do I Want a Lift?
If you’re considering a breast lift, that question means several things to you. You want a “lift,” physically and emotionally.
As we age, gravity, pregnancy, and nursing all take their toll on the elasticity and shape of the breast. You may notice your breasts becoming pendulous, the breast substance lacks firmness, your nipples point downward, or your breast hangs below the crease. A breast lift by Dr. Ditesheim will raise and reshape the breast, eliminating excess skin and repositioning the breasts and nipples so that they appear more rounded and youthful.
A breast lift can do wonders for rejuvenating the appearance of your breasts after pregnancy and weight loss. The breast lift procedure is intended to give you an elevated, more youthful breast contour, as well as nipple-areolar complexes of the desired size at the correct height. Breast lift prices vary, depending on the type of lift you will need.
What Are My Options?
Depending on the degree of sagging (ptosis), you may be able to get the result you want with a breast augmentation with implants. For most women, however, augmentation alone cannot fill in your extra skin, increase the fullness of your upper breasts and generally make your breasts higher and larger. If nipple height is involved, then some type of breast lift is usually necessary:
To determine which approach is best for you, an analysis is done of your breast shape, skin elasticity, and breast volume. For some, just a lift is needed. For others who have lost volume or have small breasts, breast enlargement can be performed in conjunction with the breast lift to give the desired volume and shape. There are different kinds of lifts, with different locations and amount of scar.
