Mastopexy, a procedure involving the repositioning of breast tissue, may help to:
• May modify breast position through surgical repositioning of existing tissue. Outcomes vary between individuals.
• May involve removal of excess skin and adjustment of surrounding tissue.
• May address mild asymmetry where clinically appropriate.
• Address changes in breast appearance that can occur over time or following life events such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight variation.
Outcomes vary for each person, depending on factors such as tissue characteristics, healing response, and general health. Your practitioner will discuss possible outcomes and potential risks during consultation.
Before any cosmetic surgery, it’s important to determine whether the procedure is appropriate for your health, body characteristics, and personal goals.
