Breast Lift in Pearl River, NY | Dr. Michael A Fiorillo and Advanced Plastic Surgery and Medpa

Understanding Breast Lift Procedures

Aging, heredity, gravity, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight loss can contribute to breast drooping. A mastopexy (breast lift) is performed to return youthful shape and lift breasts that have sagged or lost volume and firmness.

Breast Lift Benefits

The breast lift procedure rejuvenates breasts by trimming excess skin and tightening supporting tissues, achieving an uplifted, youthful shape. After the procedure, breasts are higher on the chest and firmer to the touch.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

The best candidates for a breast lift in Pearl River, NY include women who meet the following criteria:

• Finished having children
• Have stretched breast skin or areolas
• Experience misaligned or sagging breasts
• Maintain a stable weight
• Are generally healthy non-smokers

Procedure Details

Breast lift surgeries typically take 1.5 to 3.5 hours under general anesthesia. Dr. Fiorillo utilizes three primary incision techniques based on individual patient needs:

• Small-incision mastopexy (doughnut shape)
• Lollipop-shaped incision
• Anchor-shaped incision

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect initial bruising and swelling that subsides within a few days. A supportive surgical bra is worn for approximately one month. Most patients return to work within one to two weeks.

Potential Risks

As with any surgical procedure, potential risks include scarring, infection, and changes in breast sensation. Dr. Fiorillo provides comprehensive pre-op and post-op instructions to minimize complications.
