As we age, our bodies undergo changes that can impact our appearance. Breast sagging is a common concern for women due to gravity, breastfeeding, and weight loss. But there’s good news — a breast lift in Southbury from Dr. Cohen can restore your confidence by lifting and reshaping your breasts to their former glory. Dr. Cohen is a board-certified plastic surgeon and his team in Southbury specializes in this transformative procedure.
Lift & Elevate Your Breasts
Breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that aims to lift and reshape sagging breasts. It involves removing excess skin, repositioning the nipple and areola, and tightening the surrounding tissue to create a more youthful and perky appearance. This procedure can improve the overall contour of your breasts, making them appear more youthful and aesthetically pleasing.
Breast Lift Corrects:
- Sagging or drooping breasts due to aging, weight loss, or breastfeeding
- Breasts that have lost shape and volume
- Nipples that point downward or sit below the breast crease
- Enlarged areolas that have become stretched or out of proportion with the breast
- Asymmetrical breasts, where one breast is lower or larger than the other
- Lack of confidence and self-esteem due to the appearance of the breasts

Breast Augmentation + Lift
For some women, breast lift surgery alone may not achieve their desired results, especially if they also desire fuller breasts. In such cases, combining breast augmentation with lift can provide the best of both worlds. This procedure involves inserting breast implants to add volume and fullness while lifting and reshaping sagging breasts. Dr. Cohen can describe the benefits of combining these procedures and create a treatment plan that aligns with your goals.
What Happens During Breast Lift Surgery?
During a breast lift surgery, you will be given anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure. Dr. Cohen will make incisions along the predetermined areas, typically around the areola and extending vertically down to the breast crease. He will remove excess skin, lift and reshape the breast tissue, and reposition the nipple and areola, following which the incisions will be sutured. A breast lift in Southbury takes 2-3 hours to complete.
Benefits of Breast Lift:
- Improved breast size and symmetry
- Perkier and more youthful-looking breasts
- Improved clothing fit and confidence in wearing certain outfits
- Increased self-esteem and confidence
- More comfortable and proportionate breast size and position
- Corrected asymmetry and irregularities in the breasts
- Long-lasting results with proper care and maintenance
Breast Lift Aftercare Guidelines:
- Rest as much as possible during the first few days after surgery
- Avoid any strenuous activities or heavy lifting for at least 2-3 weeks after surgery
- Wear a supportive bra to help with swelling and discomfort
- Keep the incision sites clean and dry to reduce the risk of infection
- Attend all follow-up appointments with Dr. Cohen
- Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, as they can hinder the healing process
- Eat a healthy, balanced diet to promote healing and reduce inflammation
- Follow any additional aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Cohen
When Will I See the Final Results?
While you may notice an improvement in the appearance of your breasts immediately after surgery, it can take several weeks or even months to see the final results of your breast lift in Southbury. Swelling and bruising are normal after breast lift surgery and can take time to subside. The final results will appear once the post-treatment side effects dissipate.
