Breast Lift

Breast Lift NYC Plastic Surgeon, Douglas Senderoff, MD, FACS, is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has been performing Breast Lifts or "Mastopexy" plastic surgery for over a decade.

A Breast Lift or Mastopexy  refers to when the NYC Plastic Surgeon lifts and reshapes the breast. The Manhattan Plastic Surgeon often combines a Breast Lift  with an increase in breast size (augmentation-mastopexy with saline breast implants or silicone breast implants) or a reduction in breast size - breast reduction. The Breast Lift operation involves rearranging the breast tissue, shifting the nipple position and increasing the breast firmness by tightening the skin.

Your Breast Lift surgery is an outpatient procedure which is performed in the Manhattan, New York Plastic Surgeon's state-of-the-art surgical facility located in NYC on Park Avenue South. The Breast Lift procedure, as performed by the Manhattan Plastic Surgeon, takes about two and one-half hours to perform. You will then spend about an hour in recovery before permitted to return home. Most women need from three to seven days of rest at home after undergoing breast lift plastic surgery before returning to light duty activity. Usually, about a month of recovery is necessary to feel completely back to normal again. During the first month, you will need to wear a support bra at all times, except while in the shower.

 Most of the NYC Plastic Surgeon's patients always ask about scars. Scars are a reality of virtually every surgical procedure. The scars that result from Breast Lift surgery appear on the front of the breasts. For very mild breast sag, the only incision is around the areola (the dark circle surrounding the nipple). For moderate breast sag, the incision on the breast will be like a lollipop; that is to say, the NYC Plastic Surgeon will make the incision around the areola and then straight down to the breast crease. If you have severe breast sag, the incision is around the areola, straight down to the breast crease, and then side to side in the breast crease in a shape resembling an anchor. Before your breast lift surgery, the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Douglas Senderoff, MD, FACS will suggest ways you can minimize your post-surgical scarring.  Yes, your scars will most indeed fade and be minimized with time.

Who are the best candidates for Breast Lift Surgery? According to the Manhattan Plastic Surgeon, the best candidates for a Breast Lift are those patients who have breast volume loss due to:
Aging/gravity
Pregnancy
Breastfeeding
Weight loss
