Breast Lift NYC
Breast lift surgery, also called mastopexy, is designed to raise sagging breasts, tighten excess tissue, and restore a more lifted, youthful breast contour.
At Dreams Plastic Surgery in NYC, breast lift surgery can improve breast position, reshape the breast tissue, and restore the areolas to a more elevated position. In some cases, it may also involve areola or nipple reduction.

What Is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and tightens breast tissue to raise sagging breasts. Unlike breast augmentation, a breast lift does not primarily add volume. Instead, it improves breast position, shape, and firmness.
Raises Breast Position
Helps lift breasts that have dropped due to aging, pregnancy, weight changes, or skin laxity.
Reshapes Breast Tissue
Tightens and reshapes the remaining breast tissue for a more elevated contour.
Repositions the Areolas
The areolas can be restored to a more balanced and youthful position during surgery.
Why Do Breasts Sag?
Breast sagging, also called breast ptosis, usually develops when the skin and supporting tissues lose elasticity. This can change breast shape, nipple position, and overall breast contour.
Common Causes
- Aging
- Pregnancy
- Breastfeeding
- Weight fluctuations
- Significant weight loss
- Genetics
- Loss of skin elasticity

How Breast Lift Surgery Works
Every breast lift is customized based on breast sagging, skin quality, areola position, breast volume, and the patient’s goals.
Breast Lift vs. Breast Augmentation
A breast lift raises and reshapes sagging breasts, but it does not significantly increase breast volume. In fact, a breast lift alone may make the breasts slightly smaller because excess tissue and skin are removed.
Patients who want to stay the same size or become larger may choose to combine a breast lift with breast implants or fat transfer to restore lost volume.
Lift, Volume, or Both?
The right procedure depends on your goals. Some patients only need a lift, while others benefit from combining a breast lift with augmentation or fat transfer. Patients who want to be significantly smaller may combine lift techniques with breast reduction.

Breast Lift Combination Options
Breast lift surgery can be performed alone or combined with other breast procedures depending on whether you want to lift, add volume, reduce size, or improve symmetry.
Breast Lift with Implants
May be recommended for patients who want both a lifted shape and additional volume.
Breast Lift with Fat Transfer
Uses your own fat to restore subtle volume while improving breast position.
Breast Lift with Reduction
Can help patients who want lifted breasts and a smaller, lighter breast size.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift?
You may be a good candidate for a breast lift if your breasts sag, your nipples sit lower than you would like, your areolas point downward, or your breasts have lost shape after pregnancy, aging, or weight changes. A consultation is the best way to determine whether mastopexy alone or a combined procedure is right for your goals.
