As a woman matures, the breasts can sometimes sag. Sometimes that can be from weight loss. Sometimes that can be from pregnancy. Sometimes that can be from the aging process. A lot of it's from gravity. Gravity causes the breast to start to descend. The nipples become down pointing, and it loses its youthful shape. By lifting the breasts, we can give the breasts some more youthful appearance. A lot of times we'll combine that with an implant, and it doesn't mean that the implant has to be a huge implant. Well, what the implant will do is provide some longer lasting shape so that you can have some fullness above the bra line. A lot of women develop space between the bra and their skin and they hate looking at that. It just feels that their breasts are deflated. By putting an implant in and then lifting the breasts on top of that, we can really create a nice, youthful breast that at the same time is natural.
