Breast Lift Procedure
A mastopexy or breast lift is a surgical procedure performed to reshape the breast and return it to a more youthful position. Drooping of the breast may occur after pregnancy as well as aging. Frequently a breast implant may be used in conjunction with a breast lift in order to achieve better results. Depending on the amount of breast lifting that needs to be accomplished, different techniques may be used that involve different incisions. Generally, the more lifting that is required, the larger the incision (and therefore the scar).

Plastic Surgery News...
- The Department of Health has announced the start of a national programme to identify vulnerability to vascular diseases in people over the age of 40 years.
The “Putting Prevention First” programme is set out to ensure that everyone between the ages of 40 and 74 will be entitled to the checks.
The checks will be based on questions and measurements such as age, sex, family history, height, weight and blood pressure, and lipid profile tests. People will then receive a personal assessment report, setting out not only the person's level of risk, but exactly what they could do to reduce it.
The implementation of this programme is intended to begin 2009/2010.The initial modelling suggests that the annual costs will be in the region of £250 million per year
- Abstract This report describes the management of a 28-year-old female patient who had herniation of part of her left breast through
a defect in the superficial fascia of the anterior thoracic wall. Closure of the defect was associated with correction of
the deformity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing such a lesion.
