Gravity may be unavoidable, but you do not necessarily have to accept the changes it creates in your breasts. Aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and changes in skin elasticity can cause breasts to droop, flatten, or lose their youthful position. A breast lift (opens in new tab) can retore volume and shape to the breasts by adding back to the chest, the breast tissue that has descended so low! And auto augmentation is a natual way for all woman to gain elevated breasts with a firmer, more youthful contour.
Dr. Ellen Mahony (opens in new tab) is a board-certified female plastic surgeon in Westport, CT, with more than 30 years of surgical experience serving patients throughout Fairfield County and the Gold Coast. Her background in plastic and reconstructive surgery and physical therapy gives her a distinctive understanding of form, function, wound healing, and body mechanics. She takes a candid, educational approach to treatment planning, helping patients understand their options and choose an approach suited to their anatomy and goals.
What Can a Breast Lift Change?
Breast sagging, or ptosis, can affect more than breast position. You may notice downward-pointing nipples, an elongated breast shape, or breast tissue that sits primarily below the natural breast crease.
During breast lift surgery, Dr. Mahony removes excess skin and reshapes existing breast tissue with a natural auto augmention of your own breast tissue to create a higher contour. The nipple and areola can also be moved up when needed, and enlarged areolas may be reduced for better proportion.
A breast lift does not increase overall breast volume. If you want additional upper breast fullness, Dr. Mahony can discuss options such as combining your lift with breast augmentation or, for appropriate patients, using auto-augmentation to reposition your own breast tissue. Internal support techniques may also be considered when tissue quality or anatomy calls for additional reinforcement. These decisions are individualized rather than routinely applying the same technique to every patient.
Is It Time to Consider a Breast Lift?
You may want to explore a breast lift if pregnancy, weight loss, aging, or gravity has changed the position and shape of your breasts. The best surgical approach depends on factors such as your skin quality, existing breast tissue, degree of sagging, tissue strength, and desired outcome.
During your consultation, Dr. Mahony takes time to explain what a breast lift can realistically accomplish, along with the benefits, limitations, and alternatives of different techniques. She also considers the longer-term picture, including how tissue quality, aging, and future changes in your body may affect your results. The goal is to give you the information you need to make an informed decision rather than simply recommending a standardized procedure.
