The Procedure
The Surgical Procedure
Most breast lifts take between one and three hours, and longer if you are also receiving implants. You are placed under sedation or general anesthesia. Your surgeon makes an incision to access the inner breast tissue, reshapes the breast according to your plan, and closes the incisions.
Recovery
What's the Recovery Process Like?
After surgery you are fitted with a compression bra to hold the tissue in place while you heal. Expect some tenderness, discomfort, and bruising. This is normal and subsides over the next week or so. You will need to limit activity for several weeks. We monitor your recovery closely along the way.

What can a breast lift correct?
Sagging or drooping breasts, breasts that have lost volume or fullness, stretched or misshapen areolas, breasts that no longer point upward, one breast hanging lower than the other, stretched skin, and elongated breasts.
Do I need a lift, implants, or both?
A lift repositions what you have; implants add volume. If your breasts have dropped but you are happy with their size, a lift alone is usually the answer. If you have also lost fullness in the upper part of the breast, a lift with implants addresses both. Your surgeon decides this by examining you, and there is a separate page on breast lift with implants if that is the direction you are considering.
