There are many reasons why ladies choose to have breast lifts, but the most common ones seem to be for post-pregnancy weight loss and sagging breasts. A breast lift is a surgical procedure that aims to make breasts look more youthful by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. The process, also known as Mastopexy, restores a shapely chest after its elasticity has been lost.
Breast lift surgery is a plastic surgery procedure that only takes about a couple of hours and has minimal recovery time. Usually, patients are able to go home the same day, just needing pain medication for discomfort if needed.
Breast lift surgery tightens the skin on your breasts to minimize sagging and drooping that can come with age or after breastfeeding multiple children. This also could mean less back pain after the procedure and reducing neck tension.
Breast lifts provide a great option for women who are aiming to achieve more natural-looking breasts and chest area. The underlying muscles of the breast will be tightened, while also providing an uplift in size!

A Breast Lift involves three basic steps:
Surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, using general anesthesia or intravenous sedation and local anesthesia. It is typical for a portion of the injected fat not to “take” in its new location an experienced cosmetic surgeon will take this into account and may initially inject a slightly greater amount of fat into the buttocks that is needed to ensure your final results most closely achieve your goals.
Having an operation on the buttocks requires some special modifications during recovery. While pain is typically minimal and easily controlled through pain medication, you will not be allowed to sit or lie directly on your buttocks for about 2 weeks after a Breast Lift.
During this time, you will need to sleep on your stomach or side, and either lie this way or stand for all activity except using the toilet. When you are ready, your surgeon will allow you to sit in a modified position, using a “donut” seat or placing a pillow under your thighs to avoid pressure on the buttocks. Normal sitting activity is typically allowed after 8 weeks or so.
Given you follow your cosmetic surgeon’s instructions, you should be able to resume light daily activities within 1 week after surgery and return to work within 10 to 14 days.
Breast Lift results are meant to last for many years. Fat cells removed with liposuction will not return to the area, and fat cells that survive the transfer to the buttocks will remain for years to come. However, significant weight fluctuations can affect your results, to maintain a stable weight to keep your results looking their best. Results are typically final within 6 months of surgery after residual swelling has gone away and you are fully healed. By this time, your curvier buttocks and improved lower body proportions will be noticeable in how you look and in the way clothing fits. When performed by Board Cetified Plastic Surgeon, a Breast Lift is a rewarding procedure with long-lasting results.
