Breast Lift Candidates in Port Jefferson Station

A breast lift is a safe and effective procedure for women seeking to enhance the appearance of drooping breasts. The ideal candidates for a breast lift in Port Jefferson Station have:

• Sagging breasts
• Breasts that have lost shape or volume
• Flat or elongated breast contours
• Nipples or areolas pointing downward
• Asymmetrical breast positioning

Candidates should be in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic surgical expectations. Women planning future pregnancies are advised to postpone the breast lift procedure, as pregnancy and nursing can potentially reverse surgical results.

Breast Lift Surgical Procedure in Long Island

The breast lift procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia, typically lasting one to three hours. The surgical approach depends on individual breast characteristics, including size, shape, and degree of sagging.

Incision Techniques

• Doughnut-shaped incision around the areola (minimal scarring for small breasts)
• Lollipop-shaped incision around the areola and down to the breast crease
• Anchor-shaped incision for significant breast sagging

During the procedure, excess skin is removed and reshaped to achieve the desired breast contour. The nipple and areola may be repositioned or resized as needed. Incisions are carefully closed to promote optimal healing.

Recovery and Results

Following a breast lift, patients can expect some initial bruising, soreness, and swelling. The breasts will be supported by an elastic bandage or surgical bra for approximately one week, followed by a continuous support bra for one month.

Most patients return to work within a week, though strenuous activities should be avoided for about a month. Results are immediately visible and continue to improve as swelling subsides and surgical scars fade.

Potential Risks

While breast lift surgery is generally safe, potential risks include bleeding, infection, anesthesia reactions, and scarring. These risks can be minimized by selecting an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon and carefully following pre- and post-operative instructions.
