Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, is offered in our Los Angeles office and restores a more youthful appearance to a woman’s breasts. Over the years breasts can lose their shape and firmness due to pregnancy, nursing and loss of skin elasticity, causing them to sag. Mastopexy will raise and reshape breasts—slowing the effects of aging and gravity. This procedure can reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple.via www.plasticsurgery-beverlyhills.com
I remember a birthday card I got when I was a teenager. The cover showed a cartoon drum major and proclaimed, "Time marches on..." The inside of the card merely said, "...your face." It was cute; it was funny; and it's true, except that time rarely confines its march to one's face. Changes are part of aging, and a common change that affects women who have entered into the blessed state of motherhood is an expansion and deflation of the breasts. Between pregnancy, gravity, and structural integrity, things have a way of migrating. Though not exactly hazardous to health, a droopy, sagging chest can really hurt the confidence of a woman who is told every day by the culture in which she lives that her breasts must be perky to be attractive.
This is not to say, of course, that any woman sagging under the weight of her accumulated birthdays needs to have her ptosis "fixed." On the contrary, plenty of women get by just fine without perfect breasts, and could even argue legitimately against your definition of "perfect" breasts. There are those, however, for whom the droop is a proverbial thorn in the side, and it can be a relief to do something about issues with which one is unhappy. The important thing, if you're going to consider breast surgery, is to be sure that you consider it for your own reasons and with the consultation of a qualified surgeon.
