How Long Does a Breast Lift Last?

If you’re bothered by the appearance of drooping breasts or you feel as though you’ve lost significant breast volume, you could be a good candidate for breast lift surgery.

This cosmetic procedure – also known as a mastopexy – is a surgery that helps lift and correct sagging breasts. Breast lift surgery is an excellent solution for women who have drooping breasts as a result of:

• Weight changes
• Breastfeeding
• Aging
• And more

Let’s take a closer look at this transformative surgery, including how long breast lift results can last.

Breast Lift Results: What to Expect

The duration of your breast lift results really depends on each patient’s unique experience and breast size. For some patients, results may last a couple of years; most may see results last for ten years. There’s no telling how long your breast lift results may last, but there are certain steps you can take to maximize the life of your breast lift results.

How to Achieve Your Best Breast Lift Results

• Take good care of your skin, as your breast lift results are dependent on your skin’s elasticity. A good moisturizing regimen can help you maintain the “perk” from your breast lift surgery.
• Try to maintain your current weight. Weight fluctuations can put a lot of stress on your skin’s elasticity – at some point, your skin may have a harder time “snapping back” after weight loss. This can increase the likelihood that your breasts may sag again.
• Give your breasts good support. It’s recommended that you wear a bra, as studies have shown that they can extend the life of your breast lift results. Invest in supportive garments, and you’ll be able to enjoy your breast lift results for years to come!

I had a tummy tuck with liposuction done by Dr Bull. I am totally happy with my results. I am only 6 weeks post op and I have already dropped 2 sizes in my jeans. After loosing 57 lbs. I was having a hard time buying pants because of my waistline. If the waist fit, the legs were baggy and made me look heavy. My pouchy belly was just awful. So glad to see it gone forever! I feel 20 yrs younger. Dr Bull and his staff are excellant.
