Lift Sagging Breast - By: Mac Grath

Breast lift, also called mastopexy, is one of the most popular of all cosmetic breast surgeries for good reason. The aesthetic improvement created by the surgical technique certainly addresses the anatomical issue of breast ptosis, but more importantly, helps to resolve the painful emotional issues often associated with sagging breasts.

Skin rejuvenation and wrinkle reducing is part of what high tech proprietary Thermage treatments can deliver. The Thermage technology essentially converts electrical energy into radio frequency energy that can be precisely targeted into your sub-dermal areas. What happens next is that heat builds up, and your body's natural response is to trigger the production of collagen in the treatment area. New levels of collagen produce more interior volume, which uplifts and incrementally lessens sagging skin. Skin tightening occurs even post Thermage as your body does what nature designed.

When obtaining a breast lift, cost can be affected by numerous factors, such as the geographical region and the expertise of the surgeon. The cost of the surgery generally includes fees related to instruments, anaesthesia, and facility care. The surgeon's fee is usually included in the mastopexy cost and can vary depending on the type of procedure involved as well as the surgeon's particular qualifications. The average cost of breast lift surgery ranges from $3,500 to $6,000.

Breast reduction surgery provides many benefits to the women who chose to have the procedure done. Through consultations with your plastic surgeon, you can decide what you would like to gain from the reduction surgery. Each surgery includes a breast lift to eliminate excess skin and repositioning of the areolas and nipples.

Patients who desire a breast lift may have noticed loss of skin elasticity which leads to sagging breasts and sometimes nipples that point downwards. Gravity and other factors such as weight loss, pregnancy and breast-feeding, as well as Father Time ultimately affect the shape and firmness of your breasts. Patients who are generally satisfied with the size of their breasts can have a breast lift to raise them to their previous height, resulting in a more youthful breast contour.

If you are under the age of 18 and want to have breast lift surgery, you may feel impatient or frustrated that doctors prefer you wait. It is important to understand that waiting until you're older can actually lead to better results. For most young women, breasts continue to develop throughout the teen years. By the time you have reached the age of 18, however, development and growth will have had time to finish and stabilize.

A more shapely breast (lifted and reduced in size) is created by elevating the nipple (which normally remains connected to its nerve and blood supply) to a more acceptable position. If the nipple is enlarged, its size is reduced. The breast and torso are measured to determine the amount of reduction required, and a pattern is drawn on the breast. If necessary, the internal breast tissue is reduced and molded into a normal size and shape. Sometimes, during uplift operations, a small implant may be placed to add extra support and shape to the breast.
