Breast Lift

S. Larry Schlesinger, MD

Breast lifts are the most challenging aspect of female breast surgery. If you want a lift, it means something must be dropping, and the medical word for droop is ptosis. As a point of interest, the “p” is silent in the word “ptosis”. Correction of breast ptosis can be done by a varied number of techniques depending on the amount of droop, cause of droop, and the surgeon’s experience.
