Over time, many factors can influence the shape and appearance of a woman’s breasts. Life, with its varied experiences, such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, significant weight loss and simply aging, can lead to a loss of firmness and elasticity in the breast tissue can make you a candidate for a mastopexy.
At Mallorca Medical Group (MMG), we are pleased to report that there is an effective solution to these changes: breast lift surgery or mastopexy. You may ask; what is a mastopexy? This procedure focuses on restoring the breasts to their youthful, firm appearance by removing excess tissue and repositioning the nipples in a more elevated position. In addition, for those women who desire more volume, mastopexy can be complemented with breast implants.
