Gravity bringing you down?

Sometimes it’s not about making them bigger; it’s about making them perkier. Remember when your breasts actually bounced rather than dangled? With factors such as age, pregnancy, and major weight loss, breasts begin to lose their buoyancy and prominence. Technically known as ptosis, droopiness can be corrected by mastopexy, a procedure that “lifts” the breasts up. Think forward, rather than downward.

And if you think that you need implants because your breasts look smaller than before, think again. Breasts appear fuller because they won’t be stretched out and flattened, so you may not need implants to achieve that contour you’ve lost or always wanted. But hey, if you want to go for the whole shabang, breast augmentation can be performed in conjunction with mastopexy.

The only downfall? Incisions tend to be lengthier because the areola may need to be reshaped or relocated, and skin may have to be removed. Depending on the amount of correction desired, incisions may be placed around the areola and extend vertically down to the crease where the breast meets the body. As a result, any resulting scars will most likely be hidden by that itsy bitsy bikini and those cleavage baring tops you’ll want to wear to show off your new form!
