Ptotic, or droopy breasts are a real concern for many women. Weight loss, a severe diet program, pregnancy, and breast-feeding can all contribute to the development of droopy breasts. Women with pendulous or droopy breasts of satisfactory, comfortable size are good candidates for a breast lift. The problem may be that the breasts lack substance or firmness, nipple areolae point downward, and nipple position is below the breast crease. The “pencil test” is a good way to determine eligibility—if a woman places a pen or pencil underneath her breast and the item stays in place without assistance, she would benefit from a breast lift.
The most common patient is one who has had two children and has breast-fed them. After pregnancy and breast-feeding, the top half, or superior aspect, of the breast loses some of its fullness due to involution of breast tissue. Some patients are luckier than others and actually develop fuller breasts after pregnancy, but this is rare. Breast-feeding is extremely important for the baby, and no woman should avoid this important part of the nurturing process just because it might affect the appearance of her breasts.
The most common breast lift operation is the mastopexy. It involves repositioning the nipple areolar complex to a location higher on the chest wall.
Often implants are used to help create a move attractive result.
