Breast Lift Surgery on Long Island

Lifting and reshaping your breasts—so you feel youthful, confident, and beautifully proportioned.

What is Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Surgery?

Restoring firmer, perkier, more youthful breasts.

A breast lift, or mastopexy, raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissue. Whether caused by pregnancy, weight loss, aging, or genetics, breast ptosis affects how you feel in fitted clothing and how confidently you move through the world.

At North Shore Cosmetic Surgery, breast lift surgery is performed with artistry and precision—restoring youthful elevation while maintaining natural proportion. Breast lift honors your unique anatomy, but the result is always focused: breasts that feel high, tight and youthful.

Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

Confidence That Lifts Everything

Breast lift before and after results reveal breasts that sit higher, look fuller, and feel more youthful. You'll notice improved shape and the confidence to wear what you love without adjustment or hesitation. This is elevation that changes how you photograph, how you dress, and how you carry yourself—naturally, powerfully, and without apology.

Types of Breast Implants

Explore your options with confidence and discover what’s right for you. Your surgeon is here to guide you every step of the way, so you can make a fully informed decision.

Saline Implants

Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater after placement, allowing for adjustable volume and a uniform, natural or super round breast shape.

Silicone Implants (Gummy Bear Implants)

Silicone implants are pre-filled with a cohesive gel that closely mimics the look and feel of natural breast tissue.

Motiva Silicone Implants

Motiva Silicone Implants are a next-generation of silicone implants, allowing a choice of more natural (ERSD) or rounder (RSD) devices. These are especially useful when implants are placed subfascial rather than submuscular.

Subfascial Implants

Subfascial implants are very attractive for women who excercise a lot, especially if chest exercises are important. Subfascial implants, unlike subpectoral implants, don't move signficantly with exercise, while subpectoral implants can move, creating an unattractive look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have a breast lift without implants?

Yes, breast lift alone reshapes and elevates existing tissue without adding volume. Many women achieve beautiful results with lift only. If you desire both elevation and increased size, combining lift with augmentation or fat transfer is ideal.

How long do breast lift results last?

It is uncommon to need a second breast lift. Except with significant weight gain and loss, or pregnancy and breast feeding. Results typically last decades though gravity and aging continue. Maintaining stable weight and wearing supportive bras help preserve outcomes longer. Breast lift longevity varies individually.

What breast lift technique will I need?

Technique depends on sagging degree. Minor ptosis may need periareolar (donut) lift. Moderate to severe sagging requires vertical or anchor incisions. We'll recommend the minimal approach necessary for beautiful results.

How much does breast lift cost?

Breast lift cost starts at $10,000-$14,000, varying by technique complexity and geographic location. Combining lift with augmentation increases cost but may be the best solution. We provide detailed pricing during consultation.

“Dr Layliev is a fantastic surgeon. I met with several plastic surgeons before him and he just is in a different league than others. He listened to exactly what I wanted and the results are truly perfect and far beyond what I expected. The procedure itself went smoothly and the whole office was very supportive and helpful during recovery.”
