What Can a Houston Breast Lift Accomplish?

A comprehensive breast lift can achieve multiple aesthetic goals:

• Repositioning breast mounds to a higher, more youthful location
• Reshaping nipple-areolar complexes for improved symmetry
• Reducing oversized or stretched areolas
• Correcting breast asymmetry

Factors Contributing to Breast Changes

Several factors can impact breast appearance over time:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding
• Significant weight fluctuations

Breast Lift Procedure Techniques
