Also known as “mastopexy,” breast lift surgery can be an excellent option for patients seeking a more youthful, elevated bustline. It’s important to clarify that the procedure does not involve placing breast implants, as some may assume. Rather, a breast lift focuses on tightening and lifting sagging tissue to create an attractive, natural-looking silhouette.
Since skin removal is typically part of the breast lift process, breast volume is often reduced, which may result in a smaller bra size after surgery. For patients interested in increasing their breast size, combining a breast lift with breast augmentation is a popular choice. This procedure, called a breast lift with implants, can enhance breast volume while simultaneously lifting the breasts to a more flattering position on the chest wall. Dr. Carrie Houssock has successfully used this comprehensive approach to achieve a more balanced and youthful appearance for many patients.
