What is a Breast Lift or Mastopexy?

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and the natural effects of aging and gravity can cause breasts to lose firmness and begin to sag. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that raises, reshapes, and restores breasts to a more youthful position on the chest.

In many breast lift NJ cases, Dr. Coville also reduces the size of stretched areolas and, when desired, combines the lift with breast augmentation implants or natural fat transfer to restore lost volume. Unlike many surgeons, Dr. Coville specializes in short-scar breast lift techniques that minimize visible scarring, even in larger cases. He also uses auto-augmentation, repositioning, and reshaping of your own breast tissue to create fullness and natural curves without the need for implants.

At Cornerstone Plastic Surgery, Dr. Coville’s advanced approach to breast lift surgery in New Jersey delivers elegant, lasting results with less scarring, greater preservation of your natural tissue, and a youthful, confident shape. Women throughout South Jersey and the Jersey Shore choose him for his surgical artistry and innovative techniques.

How Do I Prepare for Breast Lift Surgery?

At a one-to-one consultation in Linwood, New Jersey, Dr. Coville reviews your health history, examines and measures your breasts, and aligns with your aesthetic and functional goals. He’ll recommend the best lift technique based on your anatomy, skin elasticity, and degree of lift.

In this consultation, Dr. Coville will cover:

  • Age, breast size/shape, skin quality
  • Nipple/areola repositioning
  • Incision options & expected scarring
  • Whether to add volume (fat grafting or implants)
  • Medications, smoking, family history (incl. breast cancer)
  • Risks, recovery, and anesthesia

Pre-Operative Breast Lift Prep

You’ll receive simple, personalized instructions:

  • What to eat/drink and which meds/supplements to pause
  • When to stop smoking
  • Day-of logistics (ride home, easy front-closure top)
  • Setting up your space for a smooth recovery

When appropriate, Dr. Coville may request a mammogram (especially for those over 40 or with relevant family history). We can also assist with transportation, post-operative support, and accommodations for patients from out of town.

Breast Lift: How it Works

Most mastopexies take between 1.5 and 3 hours. Unlike many surgeons who rely on anchor-shaped incisions, Dr. Coville specializes in short-scar techniques to minimize visible scarring while delivering a stronger, longer-lasting lift. He also reshapes internal breast tissue to create an “internal brassiere” for durable support, especially helpful when skin elasticity is limited.

Incision Techniques & Nipple Repositioning

  • Short-scar patterns customized to your anatomy
  • Nipple/areola lifted to a more youthful height
  • Skin redraped for smooth, balanced contours
  • For mild sagging/smaller breasts, a periareolar (“doughnut”) lift may be appropriate

Maybe Combine a Lift with Implants

If added volume or upper-pole fullness is desired, implants can be placed over or under the muscle, based on your goals and anatomy. Your plan is finalized with Dr. Coville for proportional, natural results.

Does a Breast Lift Cause Scarring?

Any breast lift will leave some scarring, as the procedure requires incisions to reshape and reposition the breast. The good news is that Dr. Coville is known for his advanced short-scar and vertical mastopexy techniques, which reduce the length and visibility of scars compared to traditional methods. He also carefully places incisions along natural breast contours so they are easier to conceal. With proper healing, most scars fade over time, leaving patients with long-lasting, natural results.

Am I a Good Candidate?

You’re likely a great fit if you want a lift that prioritizes:

  • Minimal scarring: Preference for short-scar patterns over the traditional anchor incision.
  • Natural shape without extra bulk: Using your own tissue to create internal support (an “internal brassiere”), with or without implants.
  • Long-lasting results: A firmer, more youthful contour designed to hold its lift over time.
  • Customization, not templates: A plan customized to your measurements, skin quality, and goals.
  • Safe, smooth healing: You’re healthy, at (or near) a stable weight, and willing to follow recovery guidance (including pausing nicotine).
  • Smart timing: If pregnancy/breastfeeding is in your future, you’re open to timing recommendations.

If this matches what you’re seeking, you’ll likely benefit from the way Dr. Coville performs breast lift surgery.

What Results Can I Expect?

A breast lift in New Jersey with Dr. Coville restores a natural breast shape, elevated position, and improved symmetry. His advanced short-scar approach minimizes visible scarring, with incision lines fading and typically well-concealed over time. While results are long-lasting, they naturally evolve with aging, gravity, and lifestyle factors. For women seeking added volume, implants or fat transfer may be combined with the lift to enhance fullness, though added weight can affect longevity. Many patients report renewed confidence and satisfaction, enjoying results that look both elegant and natural.

Breast Lift Recovery: At-a-Glance

  • Days 1-2: Soreness/swelling; walking is encouraged
  • Week 1: Switch to soft support bra; light activity/walks
  • Weeks 1-4: Avoid lifting, overhead reach, and intense workouts
  • Weeks 2-4: Many return to work (depends on job/healing)
  • Week 6: Sensation often improves; scars begin to fade
  • 4-6+ weeks: Gradual return to full exercise
  • Long-term: Scars mature over months; scheduled follow-ups

Breast Lift Risks and Side Effects

Like any surgical procedure, mastopexy New Jersey involves some degree of risk, though complications are rare. Dr. Coville’s meticulous technique, 25+ years’ experience, and personalized care plans help reduce these risks significantly. Following his post-op instructions carefully is crucial to achieving optimal, lasting Breast Lift New Jersey results.

Possible side effects include:

  • Bleeding or hematoma
  • Infection at the incision site
  • Asymmetry or changes in breast/nipple sensation
  • Delayed wound healing
  • Visible scarring

What Other Procedures Complement My Breast Lift?

To further enhance your breast lift NJ results, Dr. Coville frequently performs ancillary procedures and enhancements during a breast lift. With these comprehensive and personalized techniques, Dr. Coville ensures that each patient achieves a rejuvenated, natural look with minimal downtime.

  • Removal of Axillary Breasts: Coville can address excess breast tissue in the underarm area to improve overall breast contour. This excess fullness elimination in the underarm area results in a smoother, more contoured silhouette.
  • Liposuction of Lateral Breast or Bra Line Fat: Targets stubborn fat deposits to sculpt and define the breast borders. Liposuction can refine the shape of the breasts by removing excess fat deposits from the sides, achieving a more sculpted, final, lifted appearance.
  • Correction of Nipple and Areola Abnormalities: Adjustments to nipple size, shape, or symmetry for a more polished, balanced look. Procedures like correcting inverted nipples, reducing large nipples, or resizing large areolas can enhance the aesthetic outcome of the breast lift, ensuring symmetry and proportionality.
  • Autologous Fat Transfer: Uses your own fat cells to add volume naturally, providing fullness without implants. Dr. Coville offers the option of augmenting the breasts without implants by using the patient’s own fat cells, providing natural-looking volume and contour enhancement.

Many patients choose to undergo several breast-enhancing procedures in one surgery to minimize time under anesthesia, as well as streamline recovery into one window. This approach to breast reconstruction is sometimes colloquially referred to as a “mommy makeover,” but women of all ages and situations choose this approach. It’s not just limited to post-partum body reconstruction. These add-ons can be discussed during your mastopexy South Jersey consultation, ensuring your procedure is as personalized and transformative as possible.

Breast Lift New Jersey FAQs

The cost of a breast lift varies depending on the complexity of your procedure, whether implants or fat transfer are added, and your individual anatomy. Dr. Coville provides a personalized estimate during your consultation.

A “Vampire” breast lift uses PRP injections to improve skin texture and minor volume. It is non-surgical and cannot achieve the lift, contour, or long-term results of a true mastopexy.

Breast lifts for cosmetic reasons are typically not covered by insurance. Coverage may apply only if combined with medically necessary breast reduction to relieve pain or functional issues.

With proper care, a breast lift can provide results that last 10 years or more. Aging, gravity, lifestyle changes, and weight fluctuations may affect long-term outcomes.

Yes. Dr. Coville frequently performs breast lifts using auto-augmentation, reshaping your own breast tissue to restore fullness naturally without the need for implants.

Post-operative discomfort is usually mild to moderate. Most patients manage soreness with prescribed pain medication and feel able to resume light activities within a week.

Many patients can breastfeed after surgery, but it is not guaranteed. The ability to nurse depends on the lift technique, incision placement, and individual breast anatomy.

Incisions typically heal within two to four weeks. Scars gradually fade over months and are often well-concealed along natural breast folds and contours.

Some temporary changes in nipple or breast sensation are common after surgery. Most patients experience gradual improvement, with full or near-full sensation returning over several months.

Scars fade significantly over time but do not completely disappear. Dr. Coville places incisions strategically along natural contours, helping scars remain discreet and well-concealed.
