Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Results

Within a few weeks, you'll see the full results of your Breast Lift. It may take a few months for the breasts to settle and assume a more natural shape, so expect to wait several months or longer before the final results of your Breast Lift can be assessed. Incision lines will initially be red or pink in color and will stay this way for many months. Although scars will fade, and can easily be concealed by clothing, it is important to note that they will never go away completely. Carefully following your doctor's post-op instructions will help you achieve the best results.

The results from a Breast Lift are permanent, but a Breast Lift will not permanently change the shape or firmness of your breasts. It's important to have realistic expectations regarding the outcome of a Breast Lift. A Breast Lift will not prevent the natural aging of the body. Gravity, the natural aging process, pregnancy, changes in weight and menopause are all factors that can affect the size, shape and appearance of the breasts. If you are planning a pregnancy, it may be better to postpone your Breast Lift surgery, as pregnancy and breast feeding can both counteract the results of your Breast lift.
