Breast Lift in Great Neck | Dr. Lawrence Bass

Understanding the Breast Lift Procedure

Loving your silhouette is more than a matter of size. A breast lift can help you rediscover your feminine allure by transforming your look, providing plump, contoured breasts that sit higher on the chest and project a youthful appearance.

What is a Mastopexy?

A breast lift, medically known as a mastopexy, corrects sagging or drooping breasts by repositioning them higher on the chest and providing expert breast shaping. For patients desiring additional fullness in the top half of the breast, implants can be inserted during the procedure.

Breast Lift vs. Augmentation

While breast lift and augmentation may seem similar, they achieve distinct results. A breast lift eliminates sagging breast tissue, elevates the nipple, and creates a perkier look. In contrast, breast augmentation increases breast size and volume through implants or fat transfer.

Procedure Details

Breast lifts are performed in a fully accredited surgical suite. The essential aspect of the procedure is creating an internal supporting structure to maintain breast elevation. Surgeons carefully remove excess skin while preserving natural breast aesthetics.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

Potential candidates for a breast lift may include individuals experiencing:

• Drooping breasts with downward-pointing nipples
• Breasts sitting lower on the chest than desired
• Sagging or reduced skin elasticity
• Deflated breast appearance after breastfeeding or weight loss
• Disproportionate nipple size

Recovery Process

Most patients can return to desk jobs and social activities within a week. Light exercise is typically possible two to three weeks post-operation. While scarring occurs, these will be hidden by a bra or bathing suit, and laser treatments can effectively minimize their appearance.
