What is Breast Lift?
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that reshapes and lifts sagging breasts for a perkier, more youthful look. Over time, pregnancy, weight changes, and gravity can cause breasts to lose their firmness and sit lower on the chest. A breast lift corrects this by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to support the new contour.
At New Jersey Plastic Surgery, we use advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking results that complement your body's shape. Whether you're looking to restore lost volume or simply want a more lifted appearance, a breast lift can help you feel more confident in your skin.
Breasts naturally change over time, but some changes may leave you feeling less comfortable in your body. A breast lift can improve:
For those looking to restore lost volume, a breast lift can also be combined with breast augmentation.
A breast lift isn't just about lifting—it's about feeling great in your own skin. Whether you want to reclaim your pre-pregnancy shape, feel more comfortable in clothing, or simply boost your confidence, a breast lift offers a range of benefits:
Breast sagging isn't something that happens overnight — it's a gradual change that occurs due to a mix of unavoidable factors. Some women notice these changes earlier than others, but eventually, gravity catches up with everyone. So, what's behind the droop?
A breast lift is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2 to 3 hours. During the procedure, the surgeon carefully removes excess skin, reshapes the breast tissue to create a firmer and more youthful contour, and repositions the nipple and areola to a higher, more natural position. If necessary, the areolas can also be reduced in size to better fit the new breast shape.
Once the necessary adjustments have been made, the incisions are closed with sutures, and the breasts are wrapped in bandages or a surgical bra to aid in the healing process. The goal is to achieve a lifted, symmetrical, and natural-looking result that complements your body's proportions.
The incision pattern used will depend on your breast size, shape, and degree of sagging:
Is a Breast Lift Right for Me?
If you want to increase the size of your breasts or replace lost volume, a breast lift by itself won't accomplish this.
Our plastic surgeons may recommend a combination breast lift and breast augmentation to achieve your goals. Before undergoing a breast lift, you should be in good health. If you smoke, you will need to quit prior to the procedure. Our plastic surgeons will advise our New Jersey breast lift patients how long they need to abstain from smoking before and after surgery.
Most patients can return to light activities within a few days, but full recovery takes about 4 to 6 weeks. Here's what to expect:
Breast Lift Results
Results are visible immediately, though final outcomes take a few months as swelling subsides. With proper care, a breast lift can last for years, but natural aging and gravity will continue to affect your breasts over time. To prolong your results, maintain a stable weight and wear supportive bras.
The cost of a breast lift varies based on your specific needs, the techniques used, and whether it's combined with other procedures. Since prices can vary, we recommend scheduling a consultation to get a customized quote.
Our plastic surgeons have extensive experience performing a wide range of breast surgery procedures. We perform many of the procedures in our on-site surgical facility. Many patients love that they can return to the Montclair office where they already welcome and comfortable on the day of their procedure.
Dr. DiBernardo embraces innovations in non-surgical treatment. That is why we are proud to offer non-surgical breast lift with ThermiBra. Instead of scalpels and sutures, ThermiBra is performed with a minimally invasive device that emits radio frequency (RF) energy. RF revitalizes tissue in the breast by stimulating the creation of elastin - a key component in the youthfulness and elasticity of the skin. The procedure lifts the breasts and tightens the skin, resulting in a rejuvenated, perkier appearance. ThermiBra is an ideal option for women who want to offset the effects of gravity without having to go through surgery, recovery, and scarring. The technology for the non-surgical breast lift is developed by Thermi - a world leader in minimally invasive RF treatments with which our practice has extensive experience.

When performed by an experienced surgeon, a breast lift is safe. Risks include infection, scarring, and temporary changes in sensation.
Results are long-lasting, but factors like aging and gravity can still impact the breasts over time.
Most women can breastfeed after a breast lift, but results vary. If you plan to have children, discuss this with your surgeon.

Absolutely! Many patients combine their breast lift with augmentation or body contouring for comprehensive results.
Dr. DiBernardo and our team personalize the treatment plan for your needs and goals. We will discuss with you the outcome you would like to achieve, then determine if a breast lift, ThermiBra, or a combination of procedures may be best in your case.
