Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Manhasset, NY | Dr. Arnold S. Breitbart, MD

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Women's breasts naturally change over time due to factors like pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and aging. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate breasts, restoring their youthful shape and firmness.

Best Candidates for Breast Lift

Ideal candidates for breast lift surgery include women experiencing:

• Sagging breasts with reduced firmness and elasticity
• Low nipple positioning
• Enlarged areolas
• Loss of breast volume and shape

Breast Lift Procedure Details

Dr. Arnold Breitbart performs breast lift surgery using specialized techniques tailored to individual patient needs. The procedure typically involves strategic incisions around the areola and potentially extending to the lower breast crease. These carefully placed incisions minimize visible scarring while reshaping and lifting the breast.

Procedure Options

• Local anesthesia with intravenous sedation
• General anesthesia
• Optional breast augmentation during the same procedure
• Outpatient surgical approach

Types of Breast Lift Techniques

Dr. Breitbart offers multiple mastopexy techniques based on individual breast ptosis severity:

• Crescent Breast Lift: Minimal sagging correction
• Periareolar (Donut) Lift: Mild drooping improvement
• Vertical (Lollipop) Lift: Moderate ptosis correction
• Inverted "T" (Anchor) Lift: Severe breast sagging treatment

Recovery and Results

Most patients experience a relatively quick recovery, typically returning to normal activities within one week. Healing continues over several weeks, with breast shape settling and surgical scars gradually fading.

Cost Considerations

Breast lift surgery cost varies based on individual factors such as:

• Degree of breast ptosis
• Skin excision requirements
• Areola repositioning complexity
• Potential breast implant incorporation

Potential Limitations

While breast lift surgery offers significant aesthetic improvements, results can be influenced by factors like weight fluctuations and natural aging. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps preserve surgical outcomes.
