“What Is a Breast Lift?”


Breast skin, soft tissue, and elastic fibers gradually lose firmness due to aging, pregnancy, and hormonal changes. For these situations, a breast lift is designed to restore breast position and improve contour by addressing sagging and skin laxity. Surgical techniques are selected based on individual factors such as breast size, degree of sagging, skin quality, and incision requirements.

4 Causes of Breast Aging


CAUSE 01 : Innate features

CAUSE 02 : Pregnancy and breastfeeding

CAUSE 03 : Sudden weight change

CAUSE 04 : Skin laxity due to aging

Over time, elastic fibers responsible for skin firmness gradually weaken, contributing to breast sagging and skin laxity. Once the elastic fiber is denatured, our body is not able to turn it back to its original state. Therefore, a breast lift is performed to correct and improve the breast condition. The main purpose of breast lift is to find the balanced ratio within the body by reshaping the form into a firm and voluminous form.
