Sagging of the breast occurs naturally as the skin loses its elasticity. The loss of elasticity can result from aging, involutional changes following pregnancy, or weight loss. The amount of ptosis or sagging will dictate the incision required to lift the breast. If only a few centimeters are needed, the incision can be confined to the areola (periaeolar).
If a more significant lift is needed, a "keyhole or lollypop" incision with a vertical and horizontal extension is necessary. Often, if the loss of breast volume is significant, a lift procedure can be combined with breast augmentation to restore both size and shape. A well-done breast lift will restore the nipple to its natural position, remove excess skin to shape the breast, and minimize scarring as much as possible.
