Breast Lift in San Diego and La Jolla by Plastic Surgeon Dr. Mark Mofid

The aging process can take a toll on the breasts as the skin loses elasticity, causing the breasts to droop or sag. The loss of elasticity results in breasts that are less able to resist the effects of pregnancy, nursing, and gravity. Dr. Mark Mofid can restore the pert appearance that signifies youth and beauty with a mastopexy (breast lift) at his San Diego and La Jolla-area practice. Breast lift surgery may also be combined with breast implants for a fuller appearance. Today's breast implants need not appear artificial; the variety of sizes and shapes available ensures that all patients can achieve natural looks.

During the breast lift procedure, the breasts are raised through the removal of excess skin from their undersides. The skin is then reshaped to conform to each breast's new, taut contour and sutured in place. After a breast lift, the patient typically feels younger and more attractive. One important reason for the enhanced self-image is the fact that clothes fit much better when the breasts are lifted and full. Although the effects of gravity are inescapable, it is possible for patients to maintain attractive breasts well into their later years with breast lift surgery at Dr. Mofid's practice. Dr. Mofid provides consultations for women considering breast lift surgery at his San Diego and La Jolla-area offices.
