How do I know if I need a breast lift or mastopexy with my augmentation?
It depends upon the elasticity and relaxation of the skin – how much sagging there is and the position of the nipple. The lower the nipple, the more likely you are to need a lift. The breast lift procedure tightens the skin and reshapes the breast to give a more firm and “perky” appearance. If your nipple is positioned in the middle of your breast, you probably will not need a lift. Weather or not you will need a mastopexy will be discussed with you at your consultation.
