Breast Uplift
A breast uplift is performed to return youthful shape and lift to breasts that have sagged as a result of weight loss, pregnancy, loss of the skin's natural elasticity or simply the effects of gravity.
The use of a technique referred to as "tailor-tack" helps to ensure accuracy. During this procedure, the operating room table is brought to a fully upright position wherein temporary sutures are placed to provide for the uplift much the same way that a tailor does when altering a garment. Should these temporary sutures prove satisfactory, they are delineated, the uplift is definitively performed and permanent sutures placed. The "tailor-tack" approach is somewhat time consuming and, as a result, not performed by many surgeons. However, none can dispute its accuracy.
