Before & Afters
Common Questions & FAQs
Will a breast lift increase breast size?
A breast lift reshapes and elevates the breasts for a perkier, more youthful look but does not increase breast size. If added volume is desired, a breast augmentation can be performed at the same time.
How long do breast lift results last?
Breast lift results are long-lasting, typically maintaining their shape for 10–15 years, though aging, gravity, and lifestyle factors can gradually affect results over time.
Will I have visible scars?
Yes, some scarring is expected, but incisions are carefully placed and typically fade over time. Most scars are well-hidden under clothing and bras, and we use advanced surgical techniques to minimize their visibility.
What are the risks and recovery expectations?
Risks may include infection, changes in nipple sensation, or minor asymmetry, though complications are rare. Most patients return to daily activities within a week, with full recovery taking several weeks as swelling subsides and incisions heal.
