What is Breast Lift?
Breast Lift surgery also referred to as Mastopexy is a cosmetic procedure where the surgeon removes excess skin from the breasts and rearranges the breast tissue and fat to be in perfect proportion with the rest of the body.
A breast lift is a safe and effective procedure. Patients go on to have normal and happier lives after this surgery.
