Think of the skin of the breast and chest as a bra for your breast tissue.
Originally your "skin bra" fits snugly. It holds all of your new breast volume in a firm shape, and high position. As the breasts undergo the changes of life: adolescence, weight gains and losses, pregnancies, gravity, and menopause, they stretch and deform the internal and external materials holding their position and shape.
A Mastopexy, or breast lift, is really just a tailoring procedure. And there are many different techniques. The concept behind all the different approaches to breast tailoring is to remove any unnecessary weight (if any), re-shape and position the breast substance, and tailor the breast skin covering it all. The scar pattern left behind any of these procedures is directly related to how much tailoring needs to be done.
When the breast need tailoring, or lifting, but can also use a little extra volume, then the first step is to add an implant. This will give you larger cup volume, and add firmness, and definition in the cleavage area and upper pole of the breasts. It also decreases the amount of tailoring that is required, and therefore the extent of the scar pattern.
The important point here, is that if your breast size and shape is not to your liking, and doesn't fit in well with your lifestyle or personality, then you should visit with a plastic surgeon. I recommend one who is board-certified by the ASPS, and has a lot of experience with breast restoration. They should listen to what your goals are, then help you through the decision making process. The solution should make sense to you, and should deliver a result that appeals.
Breast lifting is a wonderful procedure which not only helps create a more youthful, prettier breast, but also frees the patient from the day in-day -out requirements of heavy breast support, and narrowed clothing choices. That kind of comfort, and freedom, and perkiness is quite empowering indeed!
