A Breast Lift is also known as mastopexy surgery. This surgery enhances your breasts as it lifts and firms them, and leaves you with a more youthful appearance. The size and shape of a woman's breasts change with age, pregnancy and breastfeeding. A breast lift can correct sagging breasts, enlarged areolas, elongated breasts and small breasts.

Before you undergo a breast lift, you will have to consult a plastic surgeon to find out if you're an ideal candidate for this procedure. A mammogram is essential before the surgery is performed. You will have to inform the surgeon about any other drugs you may be taking. More often than not, you will be asked to discontinue the use of any aspirins or natural supplements.

The procedure could be performed as an outpatient surgery but in some cases the doctor may have it done at the hospital. Regardless of where the procedure is carried out, you will require the assistance of a friend or a family member soon after the surgery is done.

The cost of a breast lift could range from $4,000 to $9,000. However, you must find out whether this cost includes the fees of the anesthesiologist and the cost of hospitalization. Breast lift and augmentation surgeries may not be covered by your insurance provider, so it's important to work out your finances.
