Breast Lift

A breast lift involves removing excess skin, reshaping breast tissue, and repositioning the nipple higher on the chest. The goal is to correct sagging and restore a firmer, more lifted breast profile. It can be performed alone or with implants, depending on your volume goals and desired outcome.

Recovery typically takes one to two weeks for daily activities and up to six weeks for full physical exertion. Swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort are common. Supportive garments are usually recommended during the healing process. Surgeons provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and beautiful long-term results.

Scarring is expected but strategically placed to minimize visibility. Most incisions are hidden along natural contours of the breast or around the areola. Over time, scars fade significantly with proper care. Surgeons also advise on scar treatments to support optimal healing and maintain a pleasing aesthetic appearance.

Yes, many choose to combine a breast lift with implants to achieve both lift and increased volume. This combination procedure addresses both sagging and size concerns. Your surgeon will assess your anatomy and preferences to recommend the best approach for natural-looking, balanced, and long-lasting enhancement.

Breast lift surgery is generally safe when performed by experienced professionals in accredited facilities. As with any surgery, risks like infection or anesthesia reactions exist but are rare. Thorough medical assessments, skilled surgical techniques, and post-operative care significantly reduce the risk of complications and ensure a smooth recovery.

Ideal candidates are in good overall health and experience breast sagging or downward-pointing nipples. Whether due to pregnancy, weight loss, or natural aging, a lift can help restore shape. A consultation with a surgeon will determine if your goals and anatomy align with this procedure.

A breast lift reshapes and repositions the breasts but does not significantly change their volume. Some patients report a slightly smaller appearance due to skin removal and improved firmness. For added fullness, implants can be included. Your surgeon will help plan the approach based on your ideal outcome.

Results from a breast lift are long-lasting, especially when combined with healthy lifestyle habits. While aging and gravity continue naturally, the improved shape and position can be maintained for years. Wearing supportive bras and avoiding significant weight fluctuations help preserve the surgical outcome for as long as possible.

Breastfeeding may still be possible after a breast lift, though it depends on the technique used and your unique anatomy. If preserving breastfeeding ability is important, your surgeon will choose surgical methods that minimize disruption to milk ducts and glandular tissue during the lift procedure.

If your primary concern is sagging or drooping, a breast lift is ideal. If you want to increase breast size and improve fullness, augmentation with implants may be recommended. In some cases, combining both provides the best results. A consultation helps determine the most appropriate solution for your needs.
