About Breast Lifts

It's inevitable that over the course of a life breasts will sag, soften and flatten out. They may even atrophy and shrink. Even if the overall volume remains the same, firmness, elasticity and erect youthful positions are often lost.

Your breasts may look and feel old - but they don't have to.

A breast lift can reshape, rejuvenate, firm up, lift and shape breasts. It can even reduce the size of an enlarged, stretched areola (the dark pink area around the nipple).

This procedure is much the same as that described for Breast Reduction. The only difference is that this procedure generally does not involve much reduction in breast volume. Please see the discussion on Breast Reductionsfor more information.

The Cost of Breast Lifts in New York

$5,550 is the national average cost for a breast lift and this is what you can expect to pay in New York, as well, on average. But you should know that this cost only accounts for the physician's fee. The total cost for a procedure may vary by surgeons and can include additional fees for anesthesia, surgical center or hospital stay, supplies, and other necessities.

The Best Candidates for Breast Lift

Breast lifts can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but they won't necessarily make you look "perfect" or make other people treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your New York-area surgeon. The best candidates for a breast lift are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection. If you are physically healthy and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate, but again you will want to schedule a consultation with a New York-area surgeon to discuss your overall health and expectations before embarking on surgery.
