After childbirth or with the ageing process breasts may loose their natural firmness. The appearance of flattened and elongated breasts can be very distressing to many women.

A female patient can be a candidate for breast uplift if her nipples fall to a point at or below, the level of the fold beneath the breasts.

The uplift procedure usually involves upward relocation of the nipples and correction of the excess of skin.   Sometimes, to add fullness to breasts, placement of implants is also recommended.
