The procedure is ideal for women who want to lift following weight loss, pregnancy, nursing, and the natural aging process that causes skin to droop. As the breasts begin to sag, they may also lose some of their size that they previously had. During the breast lift procedure, Dr. Palmer will remove excess skin, then define a new location for the areola and nipple to a higher position to lift the entire breast. Techniques may vary and the level of invasiveness may especially depend on the amount of sagging skin and size of breast.
