Breast Lift

One of the most common changes that come with age and after childbirth is the elasticity and firmness of the breasts. New York has some of the most experienced plastic surgeons, specializing on breast lift surgery. The doctors at the New York Plastic Breast Surgeons group can make your breast lift procedure a smooth and safe one. He has performed many breast lift surgeries in New York throughout the years, with amazing results.

If you’ve lost elasticity and shape due pregnancy, nursing, weight fluctuation, aging and gravity your breasts may improve with a lift/mastopexy. The nipple/areola complex is repositioned and the excess skin is removed and the breast is then reshaped, tightening the tissue and resulting in a breast lift.

This procedure can also be done in by inserting implants. This is called Augmentation Mastopexy. It differs from breast augmentations in that a breast lift is intended to enhance the shape and firmness of the breast and not the size. The size of areola can also be resized during the breast lift procedure. Many women choose to combine both procedures if the volume of the breast has been compromised after childbirth or weight loss.

Procedure

A New York breast lift can be performed in about one to three hours. The time to complete the breast lift, however, can be increased if you are adding implants to the procedure.
As with any surgery, there is always the risk of a reaction to the anesthesia. A full health check up should be performed prior to your surgery.
You may experience temporary bruising, swelling, discomfort, numbness and dry skin after the surgery. Scaring may fade in time, but there is always the possibility of permanent scaring.

Recovery after Breast Lift Surgery

The recovery time after your New York breast lift depends greatly on your health and state of mind. The norm is usually to resume low impact activity, such are returning to work, in about one week. Strenuous activity may be resumed with the approval of your doctor in approximately a month. Asymmetry may happen, which may require additional surgery.

Breasts of any size can be lifted however, the heavier, large breasted women will tend to have more scarring and the results may not last as long. Breast lifting does not usually affect breast function, but changes in the breasts may occur during pregnancy can minimize or reverse the improvement. Likewise, significant weight fluctuations can also affect the final result.

Review your New York doctor’s credentials and history. As with all states, New York requires a variety of licenses. The New York Board of Plastic Surgeons will also have important and valuable information. Trust is fundamental in the success of your surgery.
