An older appearance often comes with quite a bit of sagging around the body. Aging can take a toll on the elasticity of your skin, and one of the common symptoms of aging is nipple ptosis, also known as breast sagging. If you are interested in revitalizing the appearance of your breasts, you may be a candidate for a breast lift.
Weight fluctuations, heredity and pregnancy may also contribute to breast ptosis. Breast ptosis is categorized in four levels, ranging from mild to extreme. The scale is measured by how much the nipple-areola complex has dropped downwards relative to the breast hemisphere. A breast lift is a surgical procedure that can remove excess stretched skin and realign the nipple-areola complex to a more youthful position.
Consult with an experienced, double-board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Ryan Hoffman to learn more about what you can do about nipple ptosis.
