Breast Lift & Liposuction in Long Island

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reshape the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. It’s ideal for women whose breasts have lost their firmness and shape due to pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or the natural aging process. A breast lift will reposition the breasts higher on the chest for a more youthful appearance.

Key Benefits of a Breast Lift:

• Restores a more youthful breast shape
• Elevates sagging breasts and repositions the nipple
• Removes excess skin and tightens the breast tissue

This procedure is particularly helpful for those looking to address drooping, deflated breasts and create a firmer, perkier look.

Why Combine a Breast Lift with Liposuction?

Combining a breast lift with liposuction can provide more comprehensive results by addressing both sagging and fat deposits around the chest and underarms. Liposuction helps remove stubborn fat pockets that may distort the contours of the breasts, ensuring a smoother, more natural figure.

This combination is particularly effective for those who want a slimmer profile along with their breast lift, as liposuction can sculpt areas such as the sides of the breasts, underarms, or upper back.

The Advantages of Liposuction with a Breast Lift:

• Reduces excess fat to enhance breast contours
• Creates a smoother, more proportional look
• Provides a more balanced and comprehensive result

By combining both procedures, you’ll achieve a more defined, youthful chest contour that complements your body’s natural proportions.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift with Liposuction?

A breast lift with liposuction is ideal for women who want to correct sagging and restore volume while also targeting stubborn fat deposits around the chest. You may be a good candidate if:

• Your breasts have lost shape and firmness due to aging, pregnancy, or weight changes
• You have excess fat around your chest, back, or underarms that won’t go away with exercise
• You’re in good health and have realistic expectations about surgery
• You’re not planning any significant weight changes or future pregnancies

During our consultation, I’ll assess your goals to help determine if this combination procedure is right for you.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Before your surgery, I’ll walk you through the details to ensure you feel prepared and confident. A breast lift with liposuction usually takes a few hours and is performed under general anesthesia for comfort.

Before Surgery

Before the procedure, I’ll give you instructions on preparing for surgery, such as stopping certain medications, avoiding smoking, and arranging for help during recovery.

During the Procedure

During the surgery, incisions will be made around the areola and possibly down the breast to remove excess skin. Liposuction will be performed on areas with stubborn fat, such as under the arms or on the sides of the chest, to create a more contoured look.

• Lifting the Breast: I’ll remove excess skin and reshape the underlying tissue to lift the breasts and reposition the nipple higher on the chest.
• Liposuction: Stubborn fat around the chest, upper back, or underarms will be removed through liposuction to create a smoother silhouette.

Once the procedure is complete, your breasts will have a firmer, more youthful appearance, with improved contours around the chest and upper body.

After Surgery

After the surgery, you’ll need to wear a supportive bra to help minimize swelling and support your new breast shape. Swelling and discomfort are normal during the first few weeks, but medications will help you manage this. Most patients can resume light activities after 1-2 weeks, but you’ll need to avoid strenuous activities for about four to six weeks.

During your recovery, I’ll be with you every step of the way to ensure you’re healing well and achieving the best results possible.

What Results Can You Expect?

Combining a breast lift with liposuction offers long-lasting results that can dramatically improve your breast shape and overall appearance. While you’ll see some changes immediately, your final results will continue to improve as swelling subsides. Here’s what you can expect:

• A firmer, more lifted breast appearance
• Reduced fat deposits for a smoother chest contour
• A more balanced, proportional look that complements your figure

By maintaining a stable weight and leading a healthy lifestyle, you can enjoy the benefits of your surgery for many years to come.

FAQs About Breast Lift + Liposuction

How long will recovery take?

Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, but you’ll need to avoid strenuous activity for at least four to six weeks. I’ll provide detailed guidance to help you recover smoothly.

While scarring is a part of any surgery, I place incisions in areas where they’ll be less visible. With proper care, scars will fade over time and become much less noticeable.

Yes, liposuction can target several areas around the chest, upper back, and underarms during the procedure to enhance your overall result and create a more proportional look.
