If you are not happy with the appearance of your breasts, you do not necessarily need implants. Often, a breast lift can provide great results, making your chest look shapelier and sometimes even larger than before. This is especially important to women who are older, have had children, or lost a lot of weight recently.

Any scars that do remain are usually on the areola, so they cannot be seen when you are in a bathing suit. In most cases, the surgeon then inserts a tiny camera into one of the incisions, called an endoscope. The entire surgery can then be watched on camera as it happens, which is why larger incisions do not need to be made.Usually, the surgeon will then use an opening under the armpit to separate breast tissue from muscle. Some of the fatty tissue will then be removed, and the remaining tissue will be stitched together. Finally, the breasts are put into the desired position, usually a little higher than they...more
