The size, shape and perkiness of your breasts may change over time due to many factors such as – ageing, hormonal imbalances and contraceptives, weight loss/ weight fluctuation, obesity or high BMI, smoking, multiple pregnancies, history of breastfeeding, etc. Breast lift surgery in New York City or mastopexy is an ideal procedure to treat sagging breasts and achieve shapelier and well-contoured breasts. The procedure involves removing excess skin, tightening the remaining tissue, and raising the nipple and areola to a higher and more forward position.
The common question among women is that – Will exercise and diet programs help in removing breast sagginess and lifting one’s breasts?
According to WebMD, “Exercise won’t increase or decrease the amount of breast tissue you have. There are muscles underneath your breasts. Working out those muscles, along with your shoulders and upper arms, can make them firmer and more defined. It can help make your breasts sit slightly higher on your chest wall.” The article also explains that, “Your breasts will change over time, just as the rest of your body will change with age. You can decrease the effects of aging by making healthy lifestyle choices, but that may not prevent sagging. If you want to make permanent changes to your breasts, talk to your doctor about surgery to lift sagging breasts.”
A breast lift surgery may be a good choice for you, if your breasts sag and have lost shape and volume, or they’ve gotten flatter and longer, the nipples fall below your breast crease when your breasts aren’t supported, the nipples and areolae point downward, the breasts are asymmetrical in shape, and the areolae have stretched out of proportion to your breasts.
However, the procedure may not be right for everyone. Let your plastic surgeon determine your candidature for the procedure during the initial consultation.
Expert NYC plastic surgeons perform scarless breast lift using the minimally invasive BodyTite™ device, an FDA-approved Radiofrequency Assisted Liposuction (RFAL) workstation. This BodyTite Perky Lift procedure tightens and lifts the breasts, but without the scarring associated with surgery. The procedure is ideal for women who are concerned about the scars associated with mastopexy.
The surgeon will determine whether to perform a traditional breast lift surgery or use the scarless technique, based on factors such as – breast size and shape, the size and position of the areolae, the degree of breast sagging, skin quality and elasticity, and the amount of extra skin present. Though the initial results of breast lift surgery in New York City are usually visible immediately, the final outcome will appear over the next few months as the shape of the breast and position continue to settle. For optimal results, consider getting the procedure done in an AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery practice that provides the services of plastic surgeons, experienced in performing mastopexy.
