Breastfeeding and the forces of gravity can take a toll on the shape and location of a woman’s breasts. Breast lift surgery can raise and reshape the breasts. It can move the nipple and make the areola (the darker pigmented area around the nipple) smaller. No procedure can permanently delay the effects of gravity. Breast lift surgery has an impact on the shape, projection, and location of a patient’s breasts.
