Breast lift
The effect of lopsided breasts obtained by loss of elasticity of the tegumentary tissue that supports the breast can be corrected surgically by the procedure of breast lift or mastopexy. The stretched skin around the breasts, resulting from weight fluctuations, breastfeeding or the effects of gravity, can be removed so that the breasts regain firmness. The lopsided breasts require a lifting operation, they can not be lifted by a silicone implant.

- Depending on the procedure chosen, brushing and / or vertical and lateral movements are performed, whereby the breast tissue is raised. The excess skin is removed and the wound edges are closed by suture.
- The result is immediately visible.
Requirements for the procedure
