A breast lift is a surgical procedure performed by a plastic surgeon to change the shape of the breasts. During a breast lift, a plastic surgeon removes excess skin and reshapes breast tissue to raise the breasts. A breast lift is also known as mastopexy. You might choose to have a breast lift if your breasts sag or your nipples point downward. More @Wikipedia
