Frequently Asked Questions
What degree of breast sagging can be corrected with a breast lift?
A breast lift can address various degrees of breast ptosis (sagging), from mild to severe. During consultation, we assess the position of your nipples relative to the breast crease to determine the best surgical approach for your specific needs.
Can a breast lift be combined with breast augmentation?
Yes, many patients benefit from combining a breast lift with augmentation to both lift the breast and restore volume. This combination procedure can provide comprehensive breast rejuvenation in a single surgery.
How long do breast lift results last?
While a breast lift provides long-lasting results, the natural aging process, gravity, and lifestyle factors will continue to affect your breasts over time. Most patients enjoy their improved breast shape for many years, with results typically lasting 10-15 years.
Will breast lift surgery affect my ability to breastfeed?
While many women can successfully breastfeed after a breast lift, the procedure may affect milk production or flow in some cases. We discuss your future plans during consultation to minimize any impact on breastfeeding ability.
