What Is a Breast Lift?

Over time, factors like pregnancy, aging, weight changes, and genetics can cause the breasts to lose shape, firmness, and position, often affecting self-confidence. A breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure that restores a more youthful, lifted contour by reshaping the breasts without increasing volume. Dr. Parakh, a double board-certified plastic surgeon, performs breast lift surgery in New Jersey with a focus on natural-looking, proportionate results that help patients feel more confident in and out of clothing.

“Words cannot express how grateful I am of Dr. Parakh. I was so glad that I was introduced to her. She made me feel very comfortable and never pushed me to get something that I didn’t want. She was always very honest and caring. I wanted a natural breast lift, and she gave me my confidence back. I am 100% more comfortable in my own body.”

Benefits of a Breast Lift, Mastopexy

Choosing to undergo a breast lift is often about more than aesthetics, it’s about feeling aligned with your body again. Whether due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations, a breast lift can help restore shape, position, and self-confidence.

Here are some of the key benefits:

  • Restores a more youthful breast shape
    Sagging or deflated breasts are lifted and reshaped, creating a firmer, more elevated contour
  • Improves breast symmetry
    A lift can address unevenness in height, volume, or nipple position, enhancing balance and proportion.
  • Enhances confidence in and out of clothing
    Many patients feel more comfortable in swimwear, fitted tops, or without a bra, reducing self-consciousness
  • Repositions and reshapes the nipple-areolar complex
    Enlarged or downward-pointing nipples can be adjusted for a more natural and youthful appearance
  • Removes excess, stretched skin
    Eliminating loose skin tightens the breast envelope, offering smoother, more refined results
  • Does not increase breast size, unless desired
    A lift focuses on position and shape, but can be combined with augmentation or reduction for additional volume changes
  • Addresses the emotional impact of body changes
    Many patients seek a lift after pregnancy or major weight loss, aiming to reclaim a sense of self and body confidence

Why Do Women Pursue Mastopexy?

There are many women who are unhappy with the shape of their breasts due to sagging. Unfortunately, this is a natural process that comes with aging and having children. A loss of tissue in the upper portion of the chest can cause the breasts to appear “scooped out.” A breast lift can also help women with enlarged areolas, asymmetrical breasts, nipples that point downward, and minor stretch marks.

Who Makes The Best Breast Lift Candidate?

Dr. Parakh is located in Englewood, NJ, and proudly helps patients determine the correct course of treatment for them. If you’re considering a breast lift, you may be an ideal candidate depending on several factors.

The best candidates for a breast lift in New Jersey include women who:

  • Are concerned about sagging breasts that have lost shape and volume
  • Have one breast that is positioned lower than the other 
  • Are finished having children and breastfeeding 
  • Are in good overall physical health 
  • Are able to maintain a stable weight 
  • Do not smoke or able to stop smoking for at least 4 weeks before and after surgery

Breast Lift Procedure Details

Dr. Parakh transforms sagging breasts by removing excess and stretched skin, repositioning the nipples and areolas, and reshaping the breast tissue. Areolae that are excessively large can also be reduced during a breast lift procedure. She will choose from several incision patterns: periareolar (encircling the nipple), lollipop (encircling the nipple and stretching down to the breast crease), or anchor (encircling the nipple, stretching down to the breast crease, and extending horizontally along the inframammary fold).

What to Expect During Your Breast Consultation

You may bring photographs that convey your desired body sculpting goals, but this is not a requirement.
