breast won’t significantly change the size of your breasts. However, a breast lift can be doing in combination with breast augmentation or breast reduction.
Why it's done
As you get older, your breasts change — losing elasticity and firmness. There are many causes for these kinds of breast changes, including:
Pregnancy Breast lift
During pregnancy, the ligaments that support your breasts might stretch as your breasts get fuller and heavier. This stretching might contribute to sagging breasts after pregnancy — whether or not you breast-feed your baby.
● Weight fluctuations. Changes in your weight can cause your breast skin to stretch and lose elasticity.
● Gravity. Over time, gravity causes ligaments in the breasts to stretch and sag.
Breast lift can reduce sagging and raise the position of the nipples and the darker area surrounding the nipples (areolae). The size of the areolae can also reduced during the procedure to keep them in proportion to the newly shaped breasts.
You might consider a breast lift if:
● Your breasts sag — they’ve lost shape and volume, or they’ve gotten flatter and longer.
● Your nipples — when your breasts are unsupporte — fall below your breast creases.
● Nipples and areolae point downward.
● Her areolae have stretched out of proportion to your breasts.
● One of your breasts falls lower than the other.
Breast isn’t for everyone. If you’re considering pregnancy at any point in the future, you might delay getting a breast lift. During pregnancy your breasts could stretch and offset the results of the lift. This Breast-feeding is a consideration as well although breast-feeding is usually possible after a breast lift — since the nipples aren’t separated from the underlying breast tissue — some women might have difficulty producing enough milk.
While a breast lifts can done on breasts of any size, women with smaller sagging breasts will likely have longer lasting results. Larger breasts are heavier, which makes them more likely to sag again.
