How Long Does A Breast
Lift Last?

It takes several months for the final appearance of a breast lift to be evident. Over time, gravity will produce some recurrent sagging. This varies from individual to individual and is less prominent in women with smaller breasts. Pregnancy and significant weight fluctuations can also be detrimental to breast shape.

Ultimately, the length of time your breast lift will last varies from patient to patient. The following factors will impact the effectiveness of your results:

• Age
• Genetics
• Pregnancy and subsequent breast feeding following your breast lift
• Skin laxity
• Weight gain and loss prior to breast lift
• Weight gain and loss after breast lift
• Menopause
• Size of your breast implants, if breast augmentation is performed in conjunction with a breast lift

In general, you will only have to undergo this procedure once in your lifetime.
