Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate and reshape sagging breasts. Dr. Decorato performs this procedure for patients throughout New York and New Jersey, helping women restore breast firmness and youthful contour.

Ideal candidates for a breast lift include women experiencing:

• Significant breast sagging or ptosis
