Breast Lift

Q: Do I need implants with a lift?

Not necessarily. A lift reshapes and elevates the breast; implants are added only if more volume or upper-pole fullness is desired.

What Is Breast Lift Surgery

Breast lift surgery is performed by Dr. Samuel Beran in Westchester, NY to restore the shape and contour of breasts that have sagged as a result of pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss or other factors. A breast lift with or without an implant enables you to look and feel more attractive both while undressed and in clothing, and to feel more confident about your appearance.

The procedure is performed by moving the nipple and areola (the pink skin surrounding the nipple) to a higher position, moving the breast tissue to a higher level, removing excess skin from the lower portion of the breast, and reshaping the remaining breast skin. A variety of incision patterns are possible, depending on the correction needed. In most cases, breast and nipple sensation can be preserved with any breast lift techniques.

NOTE: It is possible to lift your breasts and increase their size in the same procedure, using breast implants (see Breast Augmentation). Contact us if this is something you might be interested in.
