The Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

Home « News « The Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

Many women are plagued by droopy, saggy breasts. Fortunately, there is a cosmetic remedy – breast lift surgery. In fact, breast lift procedures to enhance the appearance of the breasts have become increasingly popular among women.

“Women must accept that breast changes do occur. If the changes result in saggy, ugly breasts, it doesn't change who a woman is, but it often changes how she feels about herself,” said plastic surgeon, Dr. Laurie Casas.

What a Breast Lift Can Do For You

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, breast lift procedures saw a 23 percent increase between 2004 and 2005. The benefits of a breast lift include:

  • More perky and youthful looking breasts. Because breast lift surgery literally involves the lifting and reshaping of the breast, patients often walk away with more aesthetically pleasing contours.
  • Lasting results. Most breast lift procedures last for decades with proper care.
  • If implants are inserted at the time of the lift, the procedure can result in improved firmness of the breasts.

Patients considering a breast lift should remember that a breast lift alone cannot increase breast size. If an increase in size is desirable, the patient should also consider implants.

Additionally, a breast lift is most beneficial to patients who have finished having children, since the procedure may not withstand the changes breasts go through during pregnancy.
