Breast Lift in Sea Girt, NJ by Dr. Caroline Glicksman

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to correct sagging or drooping breasts. Factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, and aging can contribute to breast tissue changes, resulting in ptosis - a medical term describing downward nipple positioning.

Procedure Overview

• Surgical duration: 1-3 hours
• Incision techniques vary based on individual ptosis degree
• Goal: Remove excess skin and reshape breast tissue

Candidacy and Considerations

Dr. Glicksman recommends patients be near their desired weight and finished with childbearing before considering a breast lift. Ideal candidates are non-smokers in good overall health.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients typically experience minimal discomfort, manageable with over-the-counter pain medication. Most individuals can resume daily activities within 24-48 hours, with full exercise resumption around two weeks post-procedure.

Breast Lift vs. Augmentation: Making the Right Choice

Not all patients require breast implants alongside a lift. Dr. Glicksman carefully evaluates skin quality, breast measurements, and patient aesthetic goals to recommend the most appropriate approach.

Advanced Imaging Technology

Utilizing Vectra 3D imaging, patients can visualize potential surgical outcomes, including anticipated shape, size, and potential scarring before proceeding with the procedure.
