Breast Lift Surgery in Westchester, New York

• Often times after having children or loosing a
  large amount of weight, you loose volume and tone
  in your breasts. If you often wished your breasts
  were higher and firmer, a breast-lift surgery in
  Westchester may help you.

3
Procedure (Board Certified)

• A breast lift, or mastopexy in Westchester
  changes the shape of your breast from a teardrop
  to a cone, repositions the nipple to a higher
  level, and may reduce the nipple areola to a more
  pleasing size.
• If you have lost breast volume, and would like to
  add more fullness, implants may be inserted
  during surgery.

4
Procedure (Board Certified)

• Mastopexy may be performed in several ways,
  depending on the size of your breasts and the
  amount of sagging.
• Dr. Farella removes excess skin, lifts the
  nipple, and pulls together and sutures the
  breast, which improves the shape and contour.

5
Ideal Candidates

• Patients with breasts that lack firmness
• Patients with nipples that point downward
• Patients with sagging breasts
• Patients who are in good health
• Patients with realistic expectations
• Patients who are doing it for the right reasons
  (i.e. for themselves)

6
Risks and Complications

• Risks and complications may include but are not
  limited to bleeding, infection, change in nipple
  and skin sensation, skin scarring, excessive
  firmness, delayed healing, asymmetry, allergic
  reactions, risks and complications associated
  with anesthesia.

7
Risks and Complications

• Smokers have a greater risk of pulmonary, and
  wound healing complications.
• If you are planning a pregnancy, your breast skin
  may stretch and offset the results of the
  mastopexy.

8
Recovery

• Dr. Farella recommends wearing a soft, support
  bra without an under-wire for the first two
  months.
• As with all surgery swelling and bruising should
  be expected, but will improve with time.
• After two weeks you may resume most of your
  normal activities, including mild exercise.

9
Recovery

• After four to six weeks more strenuous activities
  may be resumed.
• After a few months, your breasts will settle to a
  more natural shape.
• Breast scars are considered permanent, but should
  fade over time.

10
In/Out Patient

• This procedure may be performed as an outpatient
  under general anesthesia.
• The surgery usually takes two to three hours.
