There are plenty of factors that cause the breasts to sag, including genetics, aging, weight loss, and breastfeeding. A breast lift (also known as mastopexy) is a surgical option for breast sagging. A breast lift can return the breasts to a higher, more youthful position by reshaping the underlying tissues and boosting your figure.
Unlike breast augmentation, a breast lift doesn’t require implants, meaning it’s a great option for women who simply want perkier breasts, not bigger or smaller breasts (if you’d like your breasts both lifted and smaller, consider a breast reduction instead). At Reflections Center for Cosmetic Medicine, we’re now offering breast lift procedures for our Martinsville and Livingston, NJ patients.

Who Should Have a Breast Lift?
Good candidates for a breast lift are patients who have nipples facing downward or nipples that sit below the crease underneath the breast. Other signs are easier to determine, including if the breast tissue is sagging or asymmetrical. These factors will help conclude if a breast lift is the best option for you, or whether a combination of breast procedures will be better. This will be discussed with your plastic surgeon during your consultation.
How can I maintain my breast lift results?
The best way to ensure long-term results for a breast lift is to maintain healthy habits in daily life, whether it’s exercise, a healthy diet, or avoiding smoking. As you age, your breast tissue may once again begin to sag or droop, but a breast lift slows down this process. Other ideal ways to maintain long-lasting results are to avoid weight fluctuations and future pregnancies as well.

A Skilled Surgeon with Credentials & Photo Gallery to Prove It
Dr. Fodero is an award-winning plastic surgeon. Of course he stays board certified, and he’s also the Chief of Plastic Surgery at Morristown and the winner of multiple awards given by both patient votes and peer votes – plastic surgeons see your complications, so they’re a great judge of who’s an excellent surgeon and who is not.
But what should actually make you stand up and take notice is his before and after galleries – you don’t create such a huge stock of great before and afters without putting in the time to first create consistently great results across all types of patients and seeing enough patients to get a good number to agree to let you use their photos (most don’t, and that’s okay – but a gallery this good takes decades).
A Team for Surgery – and After
A breast lift comes with scars. That’s the nature of these procedures. But you can do a lot to ensure those scars heal as well as they can, as quickly as they can. That’s where our cosmetic physicians who specialize in scar therapy come in – and what truly makes Reflections a unique place to get your breast lift in New Jersey.
