Skin laxity is an important factor when it comes to your natural beauty, because it has so much to do with the way you appear when you age. The skin’s ability to bounce back, or its laxity, affects the way wrinkles and lines form, as well as breast ptosis. Breast ptosis is a technical term for breast sagging. If you are concerned about breast sagging, a breast lift may be what you are looking for.
Your skin laxity is a measure of your skin’s elasticity, which is your skin’s ability to bounce back after it is stretched. Skin that is very elastic is able to withstand the effects of gravity and will sag less. However, with low elasticity, skin will wrinkle easier and breasts will sag more severely. Sun damage and smoking have a negative impact on skin elasticity.
Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Troy Andreasen if you have questions about your skin elasticity and breast lifts.
