Breast Lift

Over time, the effects of gravity along with the loss of the skin's natural elasticity begins to have an effect on the appearance of a woman's breasts.  These factors, combined with pregnancies and nursing will often cause the breasts to lose their youthful shape and firmness.

A breastlift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts.  The procedure can also reduce the size of the areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple).  Breast implants inserted in conjunction with a mastopexy procedure can increase both firmness and size.

Breast Reduction

Large, pendulous breasts may cause a woman to potentially experience various medical problems caused by the excessive weight of the breast tissue.  Problems with posture, skeletal deformities, back and neck pain, skin irritations and nerve irritations of the fingers are common with this condition.  Bra straps often leave indentations in the shoulder area.  Many women, especially teenage girls, are very self-conscious if they have unusually large breasts.  With breast reduction surgery, women of all ages are able to have breasts that are better shaped and in proportion.
