Breast Droop 

Breast Lift Surgical Options 
After pregnancy, nursing, major weight loss, or just after years of exposure to gravity, the skin covering of the breast may become overly large for the amount of breast tissue left inside it. The breast then sags, producing skin contact between the lower breast skin and the chest wall. The medical term that describes this situation is breast ptosis.

Ptosis (Pronounced "toe\' - sis")(The "P" is silent) is the medical word for sag or droop.

Ptosis is the noun. The adjective form is ptotic.(Pronounced "taw\' - tic")
Breast ptosis is classified by comparing the nipple location on the breast mound to the location of the lower breast skin fold on the chest wall. The degree of ptosis varies from one patient to the next, and is subdivided into 4 grades of severity: pseudoptosis, grade 1 ptosis, grade 2 ptosis, and grade 3 ptosis.

Pseudoptosis

Pseudoptosis occurs when the lower breast gland tissue falls below the lower breast skin fold, but the nipple remains above the fold.  Pseudoptosis may be treated by breast augmentation alone, by an eyebrow/crescent lift plus implant or by a circle nipple lift plus implant.  Click on the View Photos button to see photos of people with this grade ptosis and how their procedures turned out.
