Breast Lift in Chevy Chase

You are still the same person you were when you were younger.
Yet, some body changes you can go through after a pregnancy or severe weight loss can have your body feeling the complete opposite.
If aging and time has left your breasts sagging, hanging, and without their once youthful perkiness, a breast lift with Dr. Navin Singh is a safe way to redefine your youthful aesthetic feminine beauty.

A breast lift alone does not add volume, though it can be performed in conjunction with breast implant surgery for further cosmetic enhancement of the shape and size of the breasts.

Is a Breast Lift Right for Me?

Dr. Singh highly recommends breast lift surgery for women who are happy with the size and proportion of their breasts, but not the appearance of them nude.
Whether the result of aging, pregnancy, or breastfeeding, a loss of skin tightening or general elasticity can create the breasts to drop or hang over time.
While size of breasts may not have changed over time, the laxity in breast tissues can produce a flattened or deflated look of the breasts.
This is also caused in women who have lost a large amount of weight may experience sagging from excess skin or loss of elasticity.
