Augmentation Mastopexy / Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to lift the breasts. Good candidates for a breast lift are women who, for a variety of reasons such as gravity, aging, pregnancy, and breast feeding, have experienced a sagging of the breasts. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts tend to elongate and lose their more youthful form. As the breasts begin to sag, they may also lose some of their size that they previously had. Because of this, Dr. Palmer may recommend that you consider breast augmentation at the same time as your breast lift. This can easily be accomplished at the same surgery and through the same incisions. Adding a breast implant simultaneously while lifting the breast can often improve fullness in the upper part of the breast and add cleavage.

When considering a rhinoplasty (nose job) or chin augmentation procedure, one must assess the overall proportions of the face. It is necessary to achieve and preserve the balance between the various facial features, as they all combine to create ones' overall appearance. Small refinements in the structure of the nose can achieve dramatic improvements in the nasal appearance without changing ones overall look. Common areas of correction are the "bony dorsum" of the nose which may be deviated or have a "hump" or prominence. A nose can be shortened both in height, length and width to achieve facial balance.

A traditional full facelift (rhytidectomy) will not stop the aging process, but it can set back your clock by improving the most visible signs of aging. Removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and re-draping the skin of your face and neck will take you back 10 to 20 years. A facelift can be done alone or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.
