Reclaim Your Silhouette
For many women, the effects of pregnancy, nursing, weight fluctuations, and aging can lead to a loss of breast volume and elasticity. This can result in breasts that sag or droop, a condition known as ptosis.
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your breasts and are looking for a way to restore a more youthful and lifted contour, a breast lift surgery, also known as a mastopexy, may be the right solution for you.
This popular cosmetic surgery procedure can help you achieve a firmer, more youthful breast profile, and it is a specialty of our esteemed plastic surgeon in the Newport News and Williamsburg, VA area.

The Procedure Explained
Understanding the surgical techniques used to restore your natural anatomy.
Skin Removal
Excess skin is the only portion removed. No breast tissue is excised, preserving your natural volume while tightening the envelope.
Auto-Augmentation
The bottom third of the breast is internally relocated to the central portion, giving the breast more fullness where it makes the most sense aesthetically.
Incision Pattern
Typically involves an anchor-shaped scar to address excess skin in both vertical and horizontal dimensions, resulting in dramatic shape improvement.
Combining Procedures
Depending on your individual anatomy, it may be necessary to combine a mastopexy with breast augmentation. In some patients, Dr. Cohen will recommend separating these into two surgeries based on a thorough evaluation.
In properly selected patients, a simultaneous augmentation with your own fat can be performed using fat from liposuction—a procedure Dr. Cohen considers safe and effective for the right candidate.
