Breast lift surgery (mastopexy) offers good results. During the procedure, a small incision is typically made around the areola. Through this incision, the sagging breast tissue is lifted and repositioned upward, restoring a firmer, more uplifted breast appearance. This is currently one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures. However, like any surgery, it carries certain risks. It is advisable to choose a reputable medical institution and an experienced surgeon to perform the operation, which helps ensure surgical safety.
