A breast lift or mastopexy is a surgical procedure in which the goal is to lift the nipple higher on the breast while not removing any volume (as would be done with a breast reduction). This returns the breast to a higher more youthful position. You can’t fight Mother Nature. In the end gravity always wins. The natural tendency is for the breast skin to lose its strength which in turn causes the skin to stretch and the breasts to fall. In medical terms this is known as ptosis or what our patients call droopy boobs. This can also be accelerated by pregnancy, weight gain or weight loss.

Breast augmentation, also known as mammoplasty, is a surgical enhancement procedure to accentuate the size and shape of a woman’s breasts. While breast augmentation will make the breasts larger, the surgery will not move the breasts closer together or lift sagging breasts. Breast augmentation is tremendous help to patients who desire a fuller profile, who have lost breast volume due to pregnancy or nursing, or who have undergone breast reconstruction and want to gain a more natural look again.
