Breast Lift Brooklyn | Nathan Molina MD

MASTOPEXY AT NATHAN MOLINA MD

ELEVATE YOUR FIGURE

Breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to restore a more uplifted breast appearance by addressing sagging or drooping breasts.

Whether due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations, many women seek a breast lift to regain a perkier breast profile. At our Brooklyn plastic surgery practice, Dr. Nathan Molina offers customized breast lift techniques to help you achieve your ideal breast shape and position. By removing excess skin and repositioning the breast tissue and nipple/areola, a breast lift can provide a rejuvenated look without significantly altering breast volume.

WHAT IS A BREAST LIFT?

ELEVATE YOUR APPEARANCE

At our plastic surgery practice in Brooklyn breast lift surgery is performed to address ptosis, the medical term for breast sagging or drooping. This condition can occur for a variety of reasons, including:

Aging and natural loss of skin elasticity over time
Pregnancy and breastfeeding, which can stretch breast skin and tissues
Significant weight loss, which can lead to loose, excess breast skin

During a mastopexy procedure, Dr. Molina will carefully reposition the breast tissue, remove any excess skin, and reshape the breasts to a more elevated position on the chest wall. The nipple, or “nipple-areola complex,” may also be repositioned to a more central and aesthetically pleasing location.

AESTHETIC ISSUES ADDRESSED BY BREAST LIFT SURGERY

COMPREHENSIVE REJUVENATION

Wth a breast lift Brooklyn patients can address a variety of aesthetic concerns, including:

Mild, moderate, or severe breast ptosis (sagging)
Breast asymmetry
Deflated upper breasts and volume loss commonly seen after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
Loose or excessive breast skin, and stretched areolae

By removing excess skin and carefully repositioning the breast tissue and nipple-areola complex, a mastopexy can restore a more shapely and uplifted breast profile. For women experiencing both sagging and diminished volume, combining a lift with breast augmentation can provide comprehensive breast rejuvenation.

BREAST LIFT TECHNIQUES

TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS

There are several techniques Dr. Molina may use to perform your breast lift, depending on the degree of ptosis and your desired outcome:

Crescent Lift: For mild breast sagging, a crescent-shaped incision is made along the top half of the areola to remove a small amount of skin and lift the breast.

Periareolar Lift: This approach uses an incision around the areola to remove excess skin and lift the breast tissue.

Vertical Lift: For moderate to severe breast ptosis, an incision is made vertically from the areola to the breast crease, allowing for more significant lifting and reshaping. This creates a “lollipop” scar pattern.

Anchor Lift: The most extensive breast lift, this technique adds a horizontal incision along the breast crease in addition to the vertical incision, creating an "anchor" shape. This allows for the greatest degree of lift and skin removal.

Dr. Molina will recommend the most appropriate breast lift technique based on your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals during your personal consultation.

WHAT ABOUT MY BREAST SIZE?

CUSTOMIZE YOUR CURVES

When undergoing a breast lift Brooklyn patients have the option to adjust the overall size and volume of your breasts.

Some women choose to maintain their existing breast size, while others may desire a subtle increase or decrease in volume. By incorporating a breast reduction or a breast augmentation alongside the lift, Dr. Molina can help you achieve your ideal breast proportions. During your consultation, he will use Crisalix 3D imaging technology to simulate how different implant sizes or amounts of fat transfer would appear on you, allowing you to visualize your potential results.

This advanced surgical planning tool helps ensure you and Dr. Molina are aligned on the best approach to enhance both the position and size of your breasts. Whether you wish to go larger, smaller, or stay the same, he will work closely with you to determine the optimal breast volume to complement your rejuvenated breast profile.

COMBINING BREAST LIFT WITH AUGMENTATION

ACHIEVE YOUR IDEAL LOOK

Some women choose to combine a breast lift with breast augmentation to address both sagging and a lack of volume, particularly in the upper chest and medial cleavage.

By adding implants or fat grafting in conjunction with the lift, the combined augmentation-mastopexy procedure gives you a lift and extra fullness in targeted areas. The decision to incorporate breast implants or fat transfer will depend on your starting breast anatomy, desired final appearance, and personal preferences. Dr. Molina will guide you through the options to determine the best approach for your individualized treatment plan.

BREAST LIFT RECOVERY

HEAL WITH CARE

Following a breast lift Brooklyn patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the initial days. Dr. Molina will provide detailed post-operative instructions and closely monitor your recovery to ensure optimal healing.

Most patients are able to return to light, daily activities within 1-2 weeks. However, strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4-6 weeks to allow the breasts to settle into their new position. Wearing a supportive surgical bra or compression garment as directed is crucial during this time.

While the recovery process varies for each individual, Dr. Molina and his team will be available to address any questions or concerns you may have throughout your journey back to full activity.

BREAST LIFT Frequently Asked Questions

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR BREAST LIFT?

Ideal candidates for a breast lift are individuals in good overall health with realistic expectations about the results. You should be at a stable weight and not currently pregnant or breastfeeding. Women over the age of 35 must have a mammogram or sonogram within the past year. Additionally, non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking are better suited for this procedure, as smoking impairs healing.

WHAT DOES A BREAST LIFT COST?

The cost of a breast lift with Dr. Molina varies depending on the surgical plan, the use of implants, fat grafting or internal mesh, and the location of procedure. On average, the total cost, including Dr. Molina’s fee, the anesthesia and operating room fees, and all office visits, ranges from $9,000 to $15,000.
