Breast Lift: Rejuvenate and Elevate

A breast lift usually won't change your breasts' cup size or volume; however, a lift can be paired with a breast augmentation or breast reduction to achieve your desired figure.

If your breasts sag or your nipples point downward, you might consider having a breast lift. Once completed and healed, a breast lift should boost your body positivity, image, and self-confidence.

Your Breast Lift Recovery and Results

After a breast lift, you can expect some discomfort, swelling, and bruising. Your skin may feel tight as the results settle in. These symptoms will soon disappear and usually last only about 2 weeks. If drains are placed near the incisions, Dr. Meade's team will remove them a few days after the procedure.

Women can usually enjoy their breast lift results for about 10 to 15 years, though some patients can go much longer before a revision is needed, if at all.

Frequently Asked Questions Breast Lift

Can a breast lift give me cleavage?

It depends on the patient, although “cleavage” is often achieved with the addition of implants. Breast lift surgery is frequently paired with breast augmentation to enhance cleavage, improve symmetry, and add volume to the chest.

That said, a breast lift alone can still provide remarkable results, elevating the breasts to a more youthful position and enhancing overall contour.

What are the possible side effects and risks of a breast lift?

While mastopexy is a relatively low-risk procedure, potential risks may include:

  • Bleeding during the healing process
  • Infection at incision sites
  • Seroma or hematoma (fluid accumulation)
  • Scarring
  • Delayed or poor wound healing
  • Temporary changes in breast or nipple sensation
  • Temporary asymmetry in breast size or shape
  • Blood clots (rare)
  • Need for revision surgery (rare)

Will my breasts sag again after my breast lift?

A breast lift does not stop the natural aging process. Over time, the skin will gradually lose elasticity, and some degree of sagging may return years after the procedure.

When will I be able to return to work after my breast lift?

Most patients return to work within 3 to 7 days, depending on the nature of their job. Strenuous activities are typically restricted for several weeks, and final breast shape may take 6 to 12 weeks to fully settle.
