A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure done to return sagging breasts to their previous, youthful location and appearance. Many women discover that after pregnancy and nursing that their breasts have lost their fullness and perkiness. This can occur also with weight loss or aging. A mastopexy can restore the breasts and nipples to a higher position on the chest. If further volume is desired, an augmentation with implants can be performed. Waiting a few months between mastopexy and breast augmentation procedures usually offers the best cosmetic result.
