At my practice in Nashville, most of my plastic surgery patients seem to know that a breast lift is meant to give the breasts a more youthful, “perky” appearance. But there are some lesser-known advantages, as well. Here are 3 breast lift benefits you might not be aware of:
Breast Symmetry
What many of my Nashville patients don’t realize is that a breast lift won’t just boost their sagging breasts; it is also an excellent procedure for women whose breasts are asymmetrical. Many women have breasts of different sizes or in different positions. When combined with breast implants, a lift can make a patient’s breasts look perkier and more symmetrical.
Improved Nipple Appearance
Breast lifts are an excellent choice for women who are self-conscious about the appearance of their nipples but don’t necessarily want larger breasts. Nipples are positioned higher on the breast, and the areola (the darker tissue surrounding the nipple) can be made smaller. You should discuss with your surgeon the different incision options that can bring about these results.
Enhanced Feel
It’s not only the appearance of your breasts that can be improved by a breast lift, but also the way they feel to the touch. Loose and droopy skin and tissue make many women self-conscious with sexual partners. A lift can correct these concerns and restore a youthful firmness.
