Breast Lift Rehoboth Beach

 

A breast lift raises the sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding skin and breast tissue to reshape and create a more rejuvenated breast form. Recent statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons show the increased popularity of breast lifts that are now outpacing the demand for breast implants since 2000.

Over time, a woman’s breasts will loose their youthful shape and firmness through progressive loss of volume and skin elasticity as a result of:

  • Weight loss/ weight fluctuations
  • Pregnancy
  • Breast feeding
  • Aging/gravity
  • Genetics

breast lift without surgery

A breast lift surgery with create a more rejuvenated and lifted breast form and if needed, can reduce the size of an enlarged areola. The mastopexy does not change the size of your breasts or round out the upper part of you breast. Depending upon your initial cup size, a breast lift will give you fuller breasts to a certain amount. If you desire more roundness and more overall volume, you may consider combining breast augmentation to the breast lift surgery.

If you desire smaller breasts, you may consider breast reduction surgery.
