New Year, New You: How a Breast Lift Can Give You a New Start

The size, shape, and positioning of your breasts is a deeply personal thing. When you see your breasts are sagging or that one is differently shaped from the other, you probably wish you could fix the issue.

At Laughlin Plastic Surgery in Annapolis, MD, Dr. Daniel Laughlin offers breast lifts for women who don’t wish for full augmentation but do want a more compact, higher-sitting, and voluptuous bust line. 

All about breast lifts

A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, can give you back the breasts of your youth in a less invasive procedure than a breast augmentation. With a lift, there are no implants, just a repositioning and reforming of your existing breast tissue for a sculpted, attractive look.

Dr. Laughlin performed breast lifts for women who are unhappy with the current state of their busts, whether because of a difference in sizes, a problem with positioning, or an issue of sagging after weight loss or breastfeeding.

During a breast lift, Dr. Laughlin carefully makes incisions to access your breast tissue. He shifts and molds your breasts into the desired location and shape, then repositions your areolas and nipples for a perky look. 

In most cases, a breast lift archives a bust line that is higher and firmer than before. This can mean clothing fits better, your breasts need less support, and your appearance is that of a woman years younger.

Reasons for breast lifts

Most women choose breast lifts not because they are unhappy with the size of their breasts but because the shape and positioning are undesirable.  Typically, the reason is significant weight loss after significant weight gain or post-pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Breasts are individual, so what affects one may not affect the other. This means one breast can be bigger or smaller than the other, sit higher or lower than the other, or be saggy or differently shaped. 

In other cases, both breasts may have been equally affected, sagging so that they sit lower on the chest while the nipples point downward, causing you to look older and requiring a heavy bra to correct the slump of your bust.

A new start for the new year

Giving yourself the gift of a breast lift to start the year off right can be incredibly rewarding and self-supportive. Women who are happy with their breasts can experience better mental health as well, getting a self-esteem and self-confidence boost that lends them extra self-assurance.
