Remember that a breast lift does not slow the aging process. Eventually, the breasts will drop years after a breast lift simply because the aging process has continued.
Some patients find that their breast lift results last for well over 15 years while others may seek minor cosmetic alterations sooner. On average, breast lift results last for 10 to 15 years.
It will be necessary to wear a compression bra for six weeks after your breast lift procedure. A degree of swelling is inevitable after any major surgery, but your compression bra will keep sustained pressure on your incision site, working to keep this swelling to a minimum.
A sports bra will keep the breasts in place while exercising, but it can be too restrictive when dealing with post-surgery recovery. The breasts can swell a little and a sports bra won't leave any room for this.

The study queried these women five years after their surgeries, asking about their bra cup size before versus after breast lift surgery. Weight changes and other relevant factors were taken into consideration. The women reported an average decrease of approximately one cup size, for instance going from a D to a C.
It's essential to keep in mind that, unlike breast augmentation, a breast lift won't increase the size of your breasts. In fact, after your operation, you may notice that your breasts appear smaller than they had before surgery due to the removal of excess skin.
While discomfort or pain after surgery is to be expected, women usually mention that breast reduction or breast lift surgery is a lot less painful than what they expected. Generally people comment that it's more 'discomfort or pain limited to the incisions', rather than pain within the breasts or over the chest.

The ideal fit for a post-surgery bra should be snug but not tight. The best indicator that your bra fits correctly is that it's comfortable, and although you might feel some pressure, this isn't excessive or painful. Signs that your bra is too tight include: the straps or edges leaving marks on your skin.

Known as Sub-Areola Mastopexy (or scarless breast lift), patients notice much less scarring. An incision is made around the areola and results in less tension at the suture site, meaning a less visible and noticeable scar.
Cons of a Breast Lift:
There may be temporary or permanent loss of sensation in the nipples or breasts. Scarring from a breast lift is more significant than other breast surgeries because the procedure requires the removal of excess skin tissue and repositioning.
Typically, a breast lift (medically referred to as mastopexy) reduces bra size by one cup. However, this is usually not the result of volume loss. When excess skin and sagging breast tissue are removed or repositioned, cup sizes are naturally reduced. For many women, this is a good thing.
It's worth noting that most patients do not lose any nipple sensation after breast lifts. 15% lose some, but it's only temporary. For the remaining 5%, the permanent loss can be partial or complete.
It usually takes 6 to 12 weeks for the breasts to achieve their final shape.
You only lose about two pounds of breast tissue in the procedure, though the effect on your appearance is often dramatic.
They might stretch slightly because of the larger volume of the breasts, but it is rare for them to get substantially bigger. Swelling in the weeks immediately following surgery can cause the nipples to look puffier than normal. This should dissipate over time.
After your breast augmentation surgery, you'll need to sleep on your back in an elevated position for the first several days. This keeps your breasts in a more natural position, improves circulation, and minimizes swelling. It also makes it easier to get in and out of bed without straining your arm and chest muscles.
If you stop wearing the surgical bra before the recommended time provided in your surgeon's aftercare plan, you may notice that it takes longer for your incision to heal. Compression bras increase blood flow to the surgical site, flooding the area with nutrients and proteins to boost cell renewal and speed up healing.
Can I take my surgical bra off for a few hours? This is a little bit depending on your operation and your surgeon. It is normally good to take a break from the surgical bra for a few hours as long as you keep the operation to a minimum during this period for our routine breast augmentation patients.
