How do I determine if I need a breast lift or mastopexy?
The relation of the nipple to the fold below the breast (inframammary fold) determines whether a breast lift or mastopexy is indicated. The degree that the nipple lies below the fold determines the amount of lift required and the amount of skin excision needed. The amount of skin excision determines the location and the number of incisions required around the nipple, below the nipple and along the inframammary fold.
