Breast Lift in New Jersey
If you have noticed sagging or drooping in the breasts, you may want to consider a breast lift at The Peer Group for Plastic Surgery. We are proud to offer this and other breast enhancement procedures to the residents of Livingston and Morristown, NJ.
What is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift, also called mastopexy or a boob lift, is a procedure performed to lift the breasts to a more youthful position on the chest. Over time, the weight of the breasts, combined with the effects of aging or pregnancy, will cause the breasts to sag. The breast lift surgery eliminates and tightens excess skin to restore them to a youthful position, resulting in perkier breasts. There are many different approaches to the breast lift surgery, allowing patients to achieve personalized care and fulfill their cosmetic goals.
How Much Does a Breast Lift Cost?
The average cost of a breast lift starts at $4,000. The exact cost of treatment will vary depending on your unique treatment goals and the specific approach we take to treatment. During your initial consultation, we will thoroughly discuss your cosmetic goals in order to determine the breast lift technique that is best for you. Once we develop a customized treatment plan, we will be able to inform you of the exact cost of treatment. You can learn more about the cost of your treatment and your payment options by visiting our financing page.
What are My Breast Lift Options?
Breast lifts can be performed as a single procedure, or combined with other breast enhancement techniques for more comprehensive results. For patients with smaller breasts or patients who are looking for more subtle results, a breast lift alone can be a great option. For patients with larger breasts or patients who are looking for more dramatic results, we may recommend combining the treatment with a breast reduction. The breast reduction and lift procedure can greatly improve the shape and position of the breasts. To view the results from these treatments, refer to our breast lift procedure before and after pictures.
What is the Breast Lift Procedure Like?
The breast lift procedure will vary depending on your treatment goals and the treatment plan we develop during your consultation. These treatments will begin with delivering anesthesia, ensuring you remain safe and comfortable throughout the procedure. For the breast lift procedure, incisions are made in the breasts, typically around the nipple to reduce visible scarring. Excess skin and fat is removed and the remaining skin is tightened. If necessary, the nipples are resized and repositioned for natural-looking results. After these steps are complete, the incisions are sealed and the treatment is complete.
What is the Breast Lift Recovery Like?
The recovery process for breast lift will vary depending on the treatment method used. Most patients experience swelling, bruising and discomfort for a few weeks after their treatment. You may need to take time away from work and other activities in order to rest and heal following your surgery. We also recommend that patients abstain from any exercise or heavy lifting for at least six weeks after treatment.
What Results Can I Expect from a Breast Lift?
The results from your breast lift surgery are visible soon after treatment, and last for many years. However, a breast lift cannot prevent changes in the breast that might occur in the future due to weight fluctuations, pregnancy or aging. We encourage patients to maintain healthy lifestyle habits in order to make their results last as long as possible.
