Breast Lift – Mastopexy

When aging, childbirth, and weight changes take their toll, a decline in breast elevation (ptosis) is nearly inevitable. Fortunately, patients can dramatically reverse the visual effects of these events with a breast lift. Los Angeles patients of our practice have come to trust Dr. Kim’s skill and expertise in performing breast enhancements of all types, including this popular and highly effective procedure.

How can a Beverly Hills breast lift specialist help you?

Technically known as mastopexy, breast lift surgery is a procedure that elevates the bustline to a higher, more youthful angle – often, its position prior to childbirth. To help you gain a clear vision of the procedure’s effectiveness, we encourage you to view the before and after photos of Dr. Kim’s Los Angeles breast lift patients.

It should be noted that unlike breast augmentation, breast lift surgery does not require the use of breast implants. However, some women opt to incorporate breast augmentation into a breast lift. Beverly Hills’ Dr. Kim can discuss both of these options with you during your consultation appointment.

Assuming that implants are not utilized, the procedure is performed by way of a three-fold process:

• Removal of excess, sagging breast skin
• Redraping the remaining skin to a new, more attractive location
• Repositioning the nipples to their new position

Following recovery, our Los Angeles breast lift patients find that a more youthful bustline is renewing to the entire physique. Many patients opt to complement the procedure with body contouring - for example, liposuction or tummy tuck surgery - in order to undergo a comprehensive “mommy makeover.” However, those who select it as a stand-alone procedure are normally very satisfied with their results.

To learn more regarding your candidacy for this procedure, we invite you to schedule a consultation visit with our Beverly Hills breast lift surgeon. Dr. Kim will gladly address your questions and concerns.
