Westchester County, New York
Introduction
When aging, pregnancy, or weight loss has negatively impacted the figure, a breast lift can help restore balance, reinstating a perkier, more youthful-looking chest profile. The surgery combats drooping skin and downward-facing nipples, enhancing confidence and peace of mind. As a double-board-certified plastic surgeon serving Westchester County, Greenwich, New York, and the greater Tri-State area, Dr. Abraham Pathak focuses on elegant, natural results carefully tailored to your goals and preferences.
Breast lift surgery (mastopexy) is performed to address a common sign of aging – sagging skin. The surgery is also suitable for those who have noticed breast drooping after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss. Mastopexy has seen a 7% increase in popularity in recent years and remains among the most requested procedures Dr. Pathak performs. While effective on its own, it is often paired with breast augmentation to restore fullness and youthfulness in the chest.
To ensure that a breast lift will be safe, effective, and rewarding for you, Dr. Pathak will conduct a thorough consultation and medical review at his offices in Westchester County, NY, and Greenwich, CT. In general, a breast lift is recommended for those with the following traits:
As a transformative body contouring procedure, breast lift surgery offers a wealth of impressive benefits, including the following:
At the start of your cosmetic journey in Purchase, NY, you will sit down with Dr. Pathak for a preliminary consultation. This first session will entail a thorough medical and physical assessment, giving the doctor a chance to review your candidacy. He will answer your questions, go over the risks, downtime, and costs, and make sure your expectations are realistic and grounded. Dr. Pathak will also explain the incision patterns and techniques he plans to use, allowing you to be fully informed about every aspect of your procedure. Once your surgery is booked, our team will provide instructions on how to best prepare for your breast lift in New York.
On the day of your procedure, we will warmly welcome you into our state-of-the-art facility in Purchase, where we will review your surgical plan and address any last-minute questions. You can expect your surgery to last 3 to 4 hours on average. As a first step, we will administer general anesthesia, ensuring that your treatment journey is painless and stress-free. Once you are resting peacefully, Dr. Pathak will create incisions tailored to your unique treatment plan, taking great care to minimize scarring. Through your incisions, he will extract excess tissue and skin, elevating the breast mounds on the chest wall and repositioning the nipples to create a more youthful, perky appearance. During surgery, the doctor may also elect to reduce the overall size of the areolas. Dr. Pathak prioritizes volume preservation and projection, giving you a truly rejuvenated and lifted look that lasts. Once all changes are complete, Dr. Pathak will close your incisions with fine sutures and wrap your chest in a compression garment. You will then be placed in the recovery area until you are cleared to go home. In general, you can expect your breast lift procedure to last 2 to 3 hours.
Your Guide to Post-Breast Lift Care
After your surgery, you will need to be escorted home by a responsible adult who should assist you with basic tasks for the first 24 to 48 hours. During your first week of healing, you will experience swelling, bruising, and soreness. These symptoms can be well controlled with prescription medications provided by the doctor. While you are permitted to take light walks right away after surgery, you will need to avoid strenuous workouts and heavy lifting for 4 to 6 weeks. Most patients return to work within around one week after surgery. Dr. Pathak will provide a detailed aftercare plan covering incision care, showering and bathing, resuming work, and returning to the gym. If any questions or concerns arise, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team in Westchester County, NY, and Greenwich, CT, and we will respond promptly.
