A breast lift reshapes and lifts the natural breast tissue without using saline or cohesive silicone gel implants. This is accomplished by making incisions that provide the plastic surgeon access to the breast tissue, which can be removed and reshaped. The surgeon will remove excess skin and reposition the nipples before closing the incisions. Breast implants simply add volume to increase the size of the breasts. For patients with minimal breast sagging, implants can create a lifted appearance.
