One of the surgical procedures aimed at improving the appearance of the breasts is the <a href=\"\/en\/breast-surgery\/breast-lift\/\"><strong>breast lift, technically known as a \u201cmastopexy\u201d<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>What does a breast lift entail?<\/h2>\n<p>This surgery will restore the breasts to their optimal shape, creating a more harmonious figure. This technique is used specifically to correct breast ptosis, more commonly known as sagging breasts. The goal is to reposition the nipple and areola and return the breasts to a more upright position. Thus lifted, the breasts regain their youthful appearance and contour.<\/p>\n<h2>The stages of the surgery<\/h2>\n<p>Have you decided to go ahead with the operation? Breast enhancement surgery entails a series of steps that must be followed. They are all vitally important to ensure the success of the procedure and your satisfaction with the results.<\/p>\n<h3>First appointment with the physician<\/h3>\n<p>The goal of your <a href=\"\/en\/clinic\/\">initial consultation with the physician<\/a> is to clarify your expectations regarding the surgery. The physician will first ask you to fill out a medical questionnaire to ascertain your current state of health and will then want to discuss your reasons for wanting to undergo this type of procedure. You will then be presented with the available options that will best meet your expectations. This initial meeting with the physician is crucial to establish a relationship of trust between the two of you and ensure that there are no misunderstandings regarding the process.<\/p>\n<h3>Medical examination<\/h3>\n<p>This general examination is aimed at establishing a precise diagnosis in order to determine the type of procedure that will be most appropriate for you. A morphological analysis of your breasts will be performed, after which the physician will give you a detailed explanation of the possible corrections to be made and the implications of each one.<\/p>\n<h3>Preoperative photos<\/h3>\n<p>Once the medical exam has been completed, digital photos will be taken of you. You can rest assured that the photo session will be quick and respectful. These photos are a valuable tool that will aid the physician in planning the surgery. They will also allow you to compare your <a href=\"https:\/\/drbernier.com\/en\/photo-gallery\/#breast-lift\">breasts before and after the procedure<\/a> and help you determine if you\u2019re satisfied with the change.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4204\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4204\" style=\"width: 312px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4204\" src=\"https:\/\/drbernier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/thumbnail_179_masto275mpavant1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Before breast lift\" width=\"312\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drbernier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/thumbnail_179_masto275mpavant1-1.jpg 388w, https:\/\/www.drbernier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/thumbnail_179_masto275mpavant1-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.drbernier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/thumbnail_179_masto275mpavant1-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 312px) 100vw, 312px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4204\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Before breast lift<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4202\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4202\" style=\"width: 312px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4202\" src=\"https:\/\/drbernier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/thumbnail_179_masto275mpapres1-1.jpg\" alt=\"After breast lift\" width=\"312\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drbernier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/thumbnail_179_masto275mpapres1-1.jpg 387w, https:\/\/www.drbernier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/thumbnail_179_masto275mpapres1-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.drbernier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/thumbnail_179_masto275mpapres1-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 312px) 100vw, 312px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4202\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">After breast lift<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"display: block&quot;;\">Preparations before the big event<\/h3>\n<p>To ensure that your surgery goes smoothly, it\u2019s essential for you to be well-prepared.
