A drooping or sagging breast shape can create self-consciousness and an unflattering look for women. Dr. Chad Robbins, voted Best Nip and Tuck 2015 in Nashville, TN, is highly experienced, and has an artistic approach that will produce breasts you’ve longed for.
Over time, breasts can develop a condition called ptosis, or sagging. With breast ptosis, the breast hemisphere can sag dramatically, even to the point where the nipple points downward. The breast lift is a cosmetic procedure that deals with breast ptosis by lifting the breasts to a more youthful and proportionate position.
The breast may prolapse in varying degrees for different reasons. In younger women, the excessive volume and weight of the breasts may cause sagging. For middle-aged women, the hormonal changes and development of milk glands during pregnancy can contribute to breast ptosis. With older women, aged skin has lost elasticity and is more prone to stretching.
The procedure is aimed to enhance the shape of the breasts. The technique used is tailored based on the specifics of a patient’s breast size, shape, areola size, areola position, degree of ptosis, and skin quality. The procedure is performed using general anesthesia.
The results of the procedure are immediately visible and will continue to become clearer as the body heals. The surgical team will provide guidance on when to return to work and normal physical activity.
