A breast uplift (mastopexy) improves the shape of the breast by tightening the skin envelope and lifting the nipple position. It is commonly used to treat drooping of the breast following pregnancy or weight loss. Breast implants can also be used with an uplift to create a fuller more youthful appearance.

A 36 yr old mother had an augmentation mastopexy using 180cc low profile round cohesive gel implants. The second picture was taken 9 months after surgery.
