Breast Lift Surgery Results
A breast lift is a plastic surgery procedure performed to improve the appearance of sagging breasts. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically lasts between two and three hours. During the procedure, Dr. Guevara makes an incision in the breast to access the breast tissue. He then lifts the breast tissue and removes excess skin.
Who are good candidates for a breast lift?
Women who are good candidates for a breast lift are those who:
- Have sagging or drooping breasts
- Wish to improve the shape and contour of their breasts
- Are dissatisfied with the position of their breasts
What are the risks of a breast lift?
As with any surgery, a breast lift carries certain risks. These risks include:
- Infection
- Bleeding (hemorrhage)
- Scarring
- Nipple distortion
What to expect after a breast lift?
After a breast lift, it is normal to experience pain, swelling, and bruising. Your plastic surgeon will prescribe medication to manage the pain. It is also important to follow your plastic surgeon’s instructions for caring for your incisions.
Most women can return home the same day as their surgery. However, you may need to take a few days off from work or school. The results of a breast lift are generally permanent. However, the breasts may sag again over time due to aging, weight loss, or pregnancy.
How to prepare for a breast lift?
Before undergoing a breast lift, it is important to follow your plastic surgeon’s instructions. These instructions may include:
- Quitting smoking
- Taking antibiotics
- Discontinuing certain medications

What are the risks of breast lift surgery?
As with any surgery, a breast lift carries certain risks. The most common risks are:
- Hematoma: Blood clotting beneath the skin.
- Infection: Infection in the surgical area.
- Allergic reaction: Allergic reaction to the materials used in the surgery.
- Implant rupture: Rupture of the breast implant (Note: This risk is typically associated with breast augmentation with implants, not a breast lift alone. If implants are not involved in the lift procedure you’re describing, this point should be removed or clarified).
The risks of serious complications are very low. However, it is important to talk to your surgeon about the risks and benefits of the surgery before making a decision.
The incisions made to perform a breast lift can be:
- Periareolar incision: This incision is made around the areola. It is the most common incision, as it leaves a very discreet scar.
- Inframammary incision: This incision is made in the inframammary fold (the crease where the breast meets the chest wall). It is a less visible incision than the periareolar incision, but it can leave a more noticeable scar.
- Axillary incision: This incision is made in the armpit. It is a very discreet incision, but it is the most difficult to perform.
What are the results of a breast lift?
The results of a breast lift are generally long-lasting. While the natural aging process, weight fluctuations, and gravity can still affect the breasts over time, the improved shape and position achieved through the surgery are significant and lasting for many years.
Is a breast lift the right option for me?
The decision to undergo a breast lift is a personal one. It is important to talk to an experienced plastic surgeon to learn more about the surgery and to determine if it is the right option for you.
F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Lifts
Does a breast lift also increase breast size?
No, a breast lift focuses on firming and elevating the breast tissue. If an increase in size is desired, it can be combined with a breast augmentation procedure using implants.
How long is the recovery?
Generally, most patients can return to their normal activities after 1 to 2 weeks, although strenuous physical activity should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
Will there be visible scars?
There will always be scars after surgery, but with time and proper care, these become less noticeable. The location and extent of the scars will depend on the technique used.
Is the procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the surgery. After the procedure, there may be 1 discomfort or pain, but this is managed with medication prescribed by your surgeon.
Is it possible to breastfeed after a breast lift?
In most cases, yes. However, it is important to discuss any future plans for pregnancy or breastfeeding with your surgeon before the procedure.
