Procedure Overview
A breast lift raises and reshapes breasts that have lost firmness due to pregnancy, weight change or ageing, without necessarily changing their volume. It's often combined with augmentation for patients who want both a lift and added volume, though it can be performed entirely on its own.
IDEAL FOR
Patients whose breasts have lost firmness or position due to pregnancy, weight change or ageing.
