William H. Frazier, MD Discusses Why The Breast Lift Mastopexy Is Often Misunderstood

VERO BEACH, Fla. - Sept. 30, 2014 - PRLog -- Dr William H. Frazier, FACS is a Yale-trained, experienced cosmetic surgeon who has been practicing in Vero Beach, Florida and the Treasure Coast for over 25 years. In a recent video interview posted on his YouTube channel, he recently addressed the facts concerning the breast lift which is also referred to as a mastopexy.

The procedure raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. Recent statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons show breast lifts have grown 70% since 2000, outpacing breast implants 2-to-1.

He opened the presentation with the following statement, "Hi, I'm Dr. William Frazier of Vero Cosmetic Surgery and Medispa. I want to talk for just a moment about breast lifts because it's often misunderstood. This is particularly appropriate for a person who has lost weight or perhaps had a couple of children and there is a descent of the breast and a loss of the upper pole breast volume. So the chest looks longer in the area that's flat and the breast gland (the mound) is lower."

He went on to say, "So by tightening the skin, one can move the entire breast gland, the nipple and the areola upwards superiorly and for some people that's enough to restore the upper pole fullness. But if there's been a loss of breast volume that will patient will probably do better if they have a very small implant placed to compensate for the volume that's been lost."

He closed the interview with the statement, "If she says she's very happy with her volume (with size) then she just needs a lift, but if she says that she's lost volume and she misses it, it changes the way she looks, she will do better if she has a small implant as well as a lift."
