Breast Lift in Great Neck | Dr. Lawrence Lin, MD

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Natural aging, gravity, weight loss, and pregnancy can cause breasts to sag or droop over time. A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to lift the breasts and restore their youthful shape and appearance.

Procedure Overview

A breast lift focuses on repositioning and reshaping breast tissue without addressing breast volume. While the procedure lifts and reshapes existing breast tissue, it does not increase breast size. Patients seeking additional fullness can combine a breast lift with breast augmentation using saline or silicone implants.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

• Women experiencing breast sagging
• Non-smokers in good overall health
• Individuals with realistic surgical expectations
• Women not planning immediate future pregnancies

Surgical Procedure Details

North Shore Center for Plastic Surgery performs breast lift surgery under general anesthesia. The procedure typically takes two to four hours. Surgeons remove excess skin, reshape breast tissue, and reposition the nipple and areola to create a more lifted, youthful appearance.

Recovery Expectations

Initial recovery involves managing swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. Patients may have drainage tubes to remove excess fluid, and pain is controlled with medication. A supportive soft bra is worn for approximately one month, with most patients returning to work within one to two weeks.
