When your breasts have begun to sag it may be the result of the natural effects of aging. Or, it could be the effects of breastfeeding, a pregnancy, weight loss, or overall heredity and the effects of gravity. 

A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, can help return your breasts to their youthful shape by trimming excess skin and tightening the tissues that support them. Your breasts will be higher up on your chest and firmer to the touch. Your areolas, which may have also stretched or drooped, can be repositioned or reduced when your breasts are lifted.
