Aging, pregnancy, and weight changes can all affect the shape and position of your breasts. While some women focus on restoring lost volume, others find that their main concern is sagging or downward-pointing nipples. A breast lift, also called a mastopexy, may be the ideal choice for those who want a naturally youthful shape without necessarily increasing breast size. At Plastic Surgery Specialists of New Jersey in Bergen County, Frank J. Ferraro, MD, performs breast lift procedures designed to elevate and reshape the breasts with natural-looking results.
Understanding What a Breast Lift Does
A breast lift is performed to raise and firm your breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. This improves contour and position without adding implants, though it can be combined with augmentation for added fullness. Many women consider a lift after pregnancy or breastfeeding, which often stretches the skin and alters breast position. Others choose the procedure after significant weight loss or as part of a mommy makeover.
Signs a Breast Lift May Be Right for You
A breast lift is often a smart choice if you notice:
- Nipples that point downward or fall below the breast crease
- Breasts that have lost shape or firmness
- Uneven breast positioning or asymmetry
- Stretched or excess skin that makes bras fit poorly
- Satisfaction with current breast size but not with position
During a consultation, Dr. Ferraro evaluates these factors to determine if a lift alone (or a lift with implants) will help achieve the desired outcome.
What to Expect From the Procedure
A breast lift typically involves repositioning the nipple and areola higher on the chest, tightening underlying tissue, and removing excess skin. Dr. Ferraro uses techniques that minimize visible scarring and restore a more youthful, perky contour. The goal is a natural result that enhances proportion and confidence without changing the patient’s unique anatomy.
