Breast Lift in New Jersey

What Is a Breast Lift (Mastopexy)?

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue.

Unlike breast augmentation, which adds volume using implants, a breast lift focuses on correcting breast position and contour without necessarily changing size. The procedure also repositions the nipple-areolar complex to a more youthful height and can reduce enlarged areolas that have stretched over time.

The National Institutes of Health describes mastopexy as a procedure that addresses nipple malpositioning at or below the inframammary fold, known as breast ptosis. Dr. Parakh tailors each breast lift to the patient's unique anatomy, degree of sagging, and aesthetic goals, ensuring results that look naturally harmonious with the rest of the body.
