Pregnancy and breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and even the passage of time can cause a woman's breasts to appear deflated and elongated, making her look older than she feels on the inside. That's why so many women consider breast enhancement on Long Island with Dr. James Romanelli. But when it comes to surgical options, they are often unsure about which enhancement procedures are right for them.
Sometimes a breast lift is all that is needed to obtain a youthful shape and contour. In other cases, breast volume will need to be restored through Long Island breast augmentation either alone, or in conjunction with breast lift.

Breast Lift
Breast lift (also known as mastopexy) is performed when a woman is unhappy with the shape and position of her breasts. These women generally are unhappy with the drooping or "deflated" look of their breasts that comes with age, especially after childbearing. The best candidates for a breast lift are women whose weight is stable, with no plans for future pregnancies. Breast lift alone will do nothing to increase the size of the breast, and may actually result in a slightly smaller breast size.
The procedure involves removing some of the sagging skin of the breast, and moving the nipple and areola to a higher position. Dr. Romanelli will utilize one of several mastopexy techniques, depending on the degree of lift that is needed. The result is a tightening and lifting of the breast, and a renewed youthful appearance. Click here to view patient before and after photos of our breast lift patients.

Breast Augmentation
While a breast lift raises and tightens the breast, it won't make the breast any larger. For some women on Long Island, breast implants can be inserted during breast lift to create the desired volume and contour. In some cases, where there is just a little sagging, a breast implant used alone can fill out the sagging breast skin, eliminating the need for a breast lift. Dr. Romanelli has the experience to advise each woman on what combination of lift and/or implant will best help her achieve her goals.
Combined Surgery for Complete Rejuvenation
There are several benefits to combining breast augmentation with breast lift surgery. As mentioned, the placement of even a small implant can improve the fullness of the breast, especially the upper half, creating a youthful, attractive contour that may not be obtained through mastopexy alone. Also, when augmentation is performed in conjunction with breast lift, there is generally less skin to be removed, which may result in less scarring.
