An ideal breast lift candidate is one that finds their breasts have lost their shape, firmness and have begun to sag. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure used to help raise and reshape sagging breasts--at least, for a time. (No surgery can permanently delay the effects of gravity.) It is best to have realistic expectations and results from having a breast lift. At our practice in New York, Dr. Zevon will provide consultation so that both of you can understand what to expect from receiving a breast lift operation. This is also the best time to ask questions and see if having a breast lift is right for you.

At our New York facility, a breast lift usually takes one and a half to three and a half hours for Dr. Zevon to perform, depending on the patient and the procedures involved. Techniques vary, but the most common procedure involves an anchor-shaped incision following the natural contour of the breast. Healing is a gradual process. Although you may be up and about in a day or two, do not plan on returning to work for a week or more, depending on how you feel. And avoid lifting anything over your head for three to four weeks.
