The lifted breasts you love – youthful, pert, and rounded.

Some women have naturally pendulous breasts, while others develop sagging breasts over time, following pregnancy, or after a significant weight loss. A breast lift—also known as a mastopexy—provides a restored, youthful profile and a round firmness to the breasts. The plastic surgeons at Precision Medical Arts can help you understand if a breast lift in Long Island is the best choice for your physique and cosmetic goals.

What are the benefits of a breast lift?

A breast lift is a customized, versatile procedure that can address a number of cosmetic issues associated with drooping breasts, including:

Breasts that sag due to stretched or excess tissue
Breasts with diminished volume and shape
Asymmetry
Enlarged areolas
Nipples that point downward

Most women who experience one or a combination of these factors, and who are nonsmokers in good general health, are candidates for breast lift surgery in Long Island. However, those who desire a breast lift but plan to have children are best served by waiting until after pregnancy and breastfeeding to undergo a breast lift. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are accompanied by changes in breast size that could impact the results of a breast lift.

Your Breast Lift Experience

In broad terms, a breast lift will lift and firm sagging breasts to create a pert appearance and lovely, natural-looking contours. The technique and details of the procedure vary depending on factors that include:

The size and shape of your breasts
The size and position of your areolas and nipples
The extent of drooping and excess skin and fat
The density and elasticity of the breast tissue

The surgery generally entails repositioning the areolas and nipples to be front and center, removing excess breast skin, and reshaping and tightening the remaining tissue to create a more appealing, youthful profile. Women who have relatively small breasts that have lost volume and form, or who have one breast lower than the other, may benefit from a combination breast lift and augmentation.

Breast incisions – what to expect.

During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will review all of the potential side effects of breast lift surgery, including the likelihood of lingering scars. In other breast surgery procedures, incision lines are often concealed in the folds of the breast and are not visible, even in bras, bikinis, or clothing with a plunging neckline.

The incisions are placed in the breast crease, around the areolas, or vertically from below the areola, extending to the breast crease. The incision lines fade with time to appear as a narrow white line, which our patients feel is well worth the difference in their overall figure – youthful, pert, balanced, and lovely.

What is the recovery time after a breast lift?

At Precision Medical Arts in Long Island, we offer advanced recovery protocols that make recovery easier to experience. Every patient heals at a slightly different rate, but generally, you should feel well enough to return to your usual activities within a week to ten days. You can expect residual swelling to last for up to six weeks, with your newly restored breasts looking fresh, lovely, and youthful. During your recovery, you will need to sleep on your back, and avoid lifting anything heavy, or raising your arms above shoulder level.

At Precision Medical Arts, we closely monitor the recovery process, and we are always available to answer any questions. You will be wearing a compression bra, which protects your breasts, and keeps them firmly in place during healing. Take gentle walks every day but avoid any vigorous physical activities or motions until given the okay by our plastic surgeon.

Your plastic surgeon will answer your questions and discuss any concerns you have during your personal consultation. Please contact Precision Medical Arts today to schedule your appointment.
