Breast Uplift (Mastopexy)
What are the issues?

Breast development during adolescence does not always result in ‘normal’ or symmetrical breasts. Although a degree of asymmetry between breasts is very common, a significant difference or unusual shape of one or both breasts can be disfiguring. This in turn can profoundly impact self-confidence and social development.

Then with age, the effects of gravity and the loss of skin elasticity, the breasts drop (ptosis) and frequently lose volume. Similar changes can occur after pregnancies, with or without breastfeeding, and following significant weight gain or weight loss. However breast asymmetry and irregular shape are often a developmental abnormality, with no specific cause.

Breast reshaping and lifting, known as mastopexy, can give the breasts a more youthful shape and position. The procedure can be used in treating breast asymmetry along with breast reduction and breast augmentation.
