Introduction to a Breast Lift Introduction

A woman’s breasts change throughout life due to things like pregnancy and breastfeeding, age, and weight fluctuations. They often lose firmness, and skin becomes less elastic, leading to sagging and deflation. Oftentimes, the nipples begin to migrate and point downwards, which is a common change. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that reshapes and lifts the breasts and nipples back to a more youthful position. 

A breast lift is a highly sought-after plastic surgery procedure, and many women consider a breast lift in order to feel better about their appearance. If you are considering a breast lift in Manhattan, inquire about a consultation with Dr. Bianca Molina. Dr. Bianca Molina is a board-certified Plastic Surgeon with a passion for helping patients meet their aesthetic goals.

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that improves the shape of the breasts, repositions the nipple, and removes excess skin. A breast lift may done at the same time as a breast reduction or with the placement of breast implants. A breast lift aims to restore a youthful appearance to the shape and position of the breast. 

What Are the Benefits of a Breast Lift?

The benefits of a breast lift include: 

  • The rejuvenated, more youthful, or perky appearance of the breasts
  • Improved nipple position
  • Improved self-confidence
  • Greater satisfaction with your appearance in clothes
  • Better symmetry of the breasts

Your reason for getting a breast lift is personal, and Dr. Molina takes the time to understand your surgery goals to deliver personalized results.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Breast Lift?

You might consider a breast lift if:

  • Your breasts sag — they’ve lost shape and volume, or they’ve become flattened and elongated
  • Your nipples sit below your breast crease or point downwards
  • Your areola, or the colored part of your nipple, is wide or enlarged
  • Your breasts are asymmetric in size or position

Breast Lift First Step

What’s the first step?

The first step to getting a Breast Lift in New York is to call our practice and schedule a consultation in our private office. During this session, you will speak with Dr. Bianca Molina, who will review your history, perform an exam, take measurements and photos, and discuss her surgical recommendations. The consultation is your opportunity to discuss your concerns and goals with Dr. Molina so she can make the best recommendations tailored to what you are looking for. 

What to Expect on the Day of Breast Lift Surgery

All surgery done by Dr. Bianca Molina is performed at an accredited facility. A breast lift or mastopexy is performed under general anesthesia and is administered by an Anesthesiologist. Dr. Molina sees all patients in the waiting area prior to surgery to review the plan and ensure all questions are answered. 

In the operating room, surgery is begun once you are asleep. There are three common incision patterns:

  • Around the areola (donut mastopexy)
  • Around the areola and vertically down from the areola to the breast crease (lollipop incision)
  • Around the areola, vertically down from the breast crease, and horizontally along the breast crease (wise pattern or anchor scar)

After Dr. Molina makes the incisions, the underlying breast tissue is lifted and reshaped. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a natural, more youthful height. If necessary, enlarged areolas are reduced. Finally, excess breast skin is removed, and the remaining skin is tightened and closed.

Breast Lift Recovery

We recommend all breast lift patients arrange transportation to and from the appointment so that they can rest and heal after surgery. During your breast lift recovery, dressings or bandages will be applied to the incisions after the procedure is completed.

You’ll need to wear a surgical bra to minimize swelling and to support your breasts as they heal. 

You will be given instructions regarding how to care for your breasts following surgery, medications to apply or take orally to aid healing and reduce the potential for infection, and what to look out for as you heal after surgery. 

Dr. Molina will provide you with a postoperative pain management plan to alleviate any discomfort during this period.
