A breast lift can give a sagging bust a youthful comeback.
You’ve always loved your body. You embraced the changes that occur to the female physique over the years, kept your weight stable, exercised to stay fit, and watched what you eat. So it can be disappointing when your breasts begin to shift and sag — and no amount of exercise for the pectoral muscles seems to help. Mastopexy can give your bust a comeback. Dustin C. Derrick, MD is the lead plastic surgeon at Cosmetic Surgery of DFW for Mommy Makeovers and encourages you to learn more about the benefits of mastopexy.
Mastopexy is otherwise known as a breast lift. Women typically choose this procedure when they have seen their breasts change with aging or after having children. In some cases, women have always had breasts that sit too low. Mastopexy can correct this — it can even address a lopsided bust where one side hangs lower — giving you a matched pair of perky breasts.
For this procedure, openings can be made around the areolas or may run from the areola down to the crease beneath the breast. The breast tissue is then molded to a more youthful shape, excess skin is removed to tighten the breasts, and they are raised to a more flattering position.
If you have become unhappy with the position and shape of your breasts, you deserve to have the bust you want. Working with your surgeon, you can find the surgical approach that is best for you — whether you need a breast lift alone or would benefit from combining it with augmentation.
Dr. Derrick can give you the information you need when you are considering mastopexy, assessing the position and shape of your bust to determine the best approach. To schedule a consultation with Dustin C. Derrick, MD at Cosmetic Surgery of DFW in Fort Worth, TX, call (817) 562-7979.
