Breast Lift – A Tighter Shape For A Younger Looking You
A breast lift, or mastopexy, raises and reshapes sagging breasts. As a woman ages, skin loses elasticity and causes the breasts to lose natural shape and firmness. The breast lift procedure elevates the breasts to redefine the bust line for a younger appearance. A breast lift may also be performed in conjunction with breast augmentation for a totally rejuvenated look. We offer the very best in mastopexy technology at our Long Island location.
Reasons to Consider a Breast Lift
- Elevate sagging breasts caused by aging and gravity.
- Firm breasts after loss of tone & volume after pregnancy, breast-feeding and weight loss.
- Re-align nipples and areolas to restore symmetry and balance.
Breast Lift Procedure
A breast lift usually takes between ninety minutes and two hours. Breast lift techniques and procedures vary and are best decided upon by you and your doctor during consultation. For more information, call our Long Island office at 631-473-7070.
Some patients with relatively small breasts and minimal sagging may be candidates for a less extensive procedure known as doughnut or concentric mastopexy. Recent innovations in breast lift techniques include minimal incision and nipple sensitivity preservation.
Mastopexy is often performed in conjunction with breast augmentation for an entirely redefined shape. Our Long Island office is fully equipped to handle simultaneous breast augmentation and lift procedures.
