Expert Breast Lift

on long island

As you get older or reach personal milestones like having your first child, you may notice that your breasts start to lose volume and shape. Many women experience this and want to know what they can do to regain the youthful appearance of their breasts.

Patients for breast lifts at our Long Island office get an experience unlike any other. Our trUfit approach combines personalized service with surgical expertise to help you reach your goals.

What You Need to Know About Breast Lift Surgery 

In a mastopexy, or breast lift surgery, excess skin is removed and tightened to create a more youthful appearance. Reshaping a sagging breast and lifting the nipple and areola does not require the use of a breast implant  as the focus is more on tightening the existing tissue rather than creating extensive volume. Occasionally, however, volume enhancement will be indicated at the time of breast lift surgery, either with breast implants or fat transfer, where fat is harvested from one part of the body and transferred into the breast. Breast lift surgery is used to correct quite a few conditions, including:

Sagging or drooping breasts due to aging or weight loss

Breasts that have lost their shape and firmness after pregnancy and breastfeeding

Nipples that point downward or are too low on the breast

Asymmetrical breasts in which one breast is lower than the other

Large areolas that have stretched over time

Asymmetries resulting after mastectomy reconstruction or breast conservation

Of course, breast lift procedures aren’t always right for the patient. While they can go a long way toward fixing drooping or sagging breasts, there are a few things that they can’t address, such as breast size, breast asymmetry, or stretch marks. It’s important to understand the limitations of breast lift surgery because it may not be the procedure you need to achieve your results. To determine if breast lift surgery is the right option for you, it’s important to consult with a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has experience performing breast lifts.

Dr. Harris of Harris Plastic Surgery is one of these providers. He has performed thousands of breast lift procedures throughout his career. His detailed and highly personal approach to every surgery is something that he has adapted into the trUfit breast enhancement process. 

The trUfit Approach to Expert Breast Lifts on Long Island

The trUfit breast enhancement process is a cutting-edge approach to breast lifts that uses advanced imaging technology to create a personalized treatment plan for each patient. This process involves:

Examination

Dr. Harris completes a thorough physical examination and takes a detailed patient history. He goes over goals and discusses the specifics of breast lift surgery with the patient.

Simulation

Sometimes, 3D imaging is used to simulate the potential results of the breast lift procedure. This allows the patient to see how their breasts will look after the procedure and make informed decisions about their treatment plan.

Customization

A customized surgical plan is created and discussed in detail with the patient. This plan includes expected results, risks, costs, and recovery time.
