Breast Lift Surgery in NY

Understanding Breast Lift

Breast Lift surgery, also known as Mastopexy, is designed to lift, reshape, and restore sagging breasts for a more youthful and elevated appearance. Over time, factors such as aging, pregnancy, weight loss, and gravity can lead to a loss of skin elasticity and volume, causing the breasts to sag. A breast lift can help reposition the breasts, tighten the skin, and improve overall contour for a firmer, more lifted look.

At Madison Plastic Surgery, Dr. Robert M. Tornambe, a board-certified plastic surgeon, has been performing Breast Lift Surgery in NYC for over 20 years, offering customized techniques to achieve the best possible results.

Is Breast Lift Right for You?

A breast lift is ideal for women who:

  • Experience breast sagging due to aging, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy.
  • Have downward-facing nipples or stretched areolas.
  • Want perkier, firmer breasts without increasing volume.
  • Have asymmetrical or deflated breasts and want a balanced, natural look.
  • Are in good health and have realistic expectations for their results.

For women who want to increase breast size along with a lift, a Breast Augmentation with Lift may be a better option.

Personalized Consultation Process

Every patient begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Tornambe. During this one-hour session, you will:

A follow-up consultation ensures you are fully informed and confident before proceeding with surgery.

  • Discuss your desired breast shape, position, and overall goals.
  • Review before-and-after photos to set realistic expectations.
  • Learn about different incision techniques and scar placement.
  • Explore whether a breast implant may be beneficial for additional volume.
  • Receive personalized recommendations tailored to your unique anatomy.

Surgical Options and Techniques

Breast Lift Surgery involves removing excess skin, reshaping the breast tissue,

and repositioning the nipple and areola for a lifted, natural look.

Procedures:

  • Reshaping the Breast – Excess skin is removed, and the breast is reshaped for a firmer, more youthful contour.
  • Areola Repositioning – The nipple and areola are lifted to a more natural, centered position.
  • Incision Techniques – The approach is customized to minimize scarring while achieving the best possible lift.

Incision Techniques:

  • Periareolar (Around the Areola) – Best for minimal sagging; results in a scar hidden within the areola’s border.
  • Lollipop (Vertical Lift) – A circular incision around the areola plus a vertical incision down the breast, ideal for moderate sagging.
  • Anchor Lift (Inverted-T) – Best for severe sagging; includes a horizontal incision in the breast crease for significant reshaping.

Dr. Tornambe will recommend the best incision technique based on your breast size, skin elasticity, and degree of sagging.

Why does breast lift surgery cause scarring?

To lift the breasts, excess skin must be removed and reshaped, which results in scarring. Dr. Tornambe employs advanced techniques to minimize scar visibility, and scars fade significantly over time.

How long do breast lift results last?

With good skin quality, stable weight, and no future pregnancies, results can be long-lasting or even permanent. However, natural aging and gravity will continue to affect breast shape over time.

Can a breast lift be combined with implants?

Yes! Many women choose to combine a Breast Lift with Breast Augmentation to restore volume and achieve fuller, more youthful breasts.

Can I breastfeed after a breast lift?

Most women can still breastfeed, but pregnancy and breastfeeding may affect long-term results, so some patients choose to wait until they are done having children.

Will nipple sensation be affected?

While some patients experience temporary changes in nipple sensation, full sensation usually returns after healing.
