Breast Lift Procedure and Recovery

There are many techniques for performing a breast lift procedure, but one of the most common is an anchor-like incision along the underside of the breast. This incision wraps around the area where skin will be removed, which also determines the future location of the nipple.

After the excess skin is removed, the nipple and areola are moved into a higher position, as the skin around the areola is brought down and together to reshape the breast. Sometimes, an incision is made only along the areola to lift the breast; other times, an incision is made along the entire areola and the middle of the lower part of a breast, resembling a lollipop. Breast lift surgery can take anywhere between one and three hours, depending on the patient. Typically, our Long Island breast lift patients will wear a specialized surgical bra for approximately three weeks, based on the patient’s personal needs and rate of healing.

Although pain may be felt after the surgery, it can be remedied by oral medication. Plenty of rest and limited movement is recommended for the duration of the post-operative process.
