What is a breast lift?
A breast lift (mastopexy) corrects sagging by reshaping breast tissue and repositioning the nipple-areola complex to a more youthful position. Excess skin is removed to create a firmer, more lifted appearance.
Can it be combined with implants?
In mild sagging, implants alone may provide adequate lift. When the nipple sits lower or there is significant skin excess, a lift is added. The decision depends entirely on breast anatomy and patient goals.
