Mastopexy: Comprehensive Breast Lift Procedure

The Breast Reduction Center of NYC offers expert breast lift (mastopexy) procedures to realign sagging breasts by removing extra skin and re-suspending breast tissue. This surgical technique elevates the position of the areola and nipple, creating a more naturally youthful breast appearance.

Surgical Approach and Techniques

Board-certified plastic surgeons utilize specialized techniques to customize the breast lift procedure based on individual patient anatomy. Surgical approaches include:

• Incisions partially or completely encircling the areola
• Vertical extensions creating a lollipop-shaped incision
• Additional incisions within the breast's under fold (anchor shape)

Procedure Details

The breast lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia, with a specialized local nerve block to minimize post-operative discomfort. The procedure typically lasts two to three hours, with patients returning home the same day.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Patients can expect normal post-operative bleeding and swelling, which typically resolves within a few weeks. Dissolvable stitches are used, eliminating the need for stitch removal.

Recovery Guidelines

• Walking and normal daily activities can be resumed immediately
• Avoid intense physical activity for two weeks
• Refrain from heavy lifting and pushing
• Most patients return to non-manual labor jobs within one week
• Full activity level typically resumes after one to two months

Additional Considerations

The breast lift can be complemented by cosmetic chest liposuction to enhance overall breast aesthetics. Patients should note that health insurance generally does not cover breast lift procedures unless part of a medically necessary breast reduction.
