Do breast lifts repair Cooper Ligaments to correct sagging?

August 31, 2015
Asked By:ladytalulah in Toronto, ON

Or do they simply tighten the skin and change the position of the nipple? And what damages the Cooper Ligaments in the first place? How important are they to the overall "perkiness" of the breasts? If the nipple was pointing in the right direction and the only problem was deflation due to overstretched skin and weight loss and (theoretically, of course) there was a way to tighten the skin without surgery, could that replace a lift? Thanks!
