Any advice on maintaining my new look?

Follow our advice on what type of bra to wear after surgery. This will help your breasts to maintain their shape and avoids putting pressure on recent incisions, as not to stress healing tissue. Proper support with a great bra is essential for maintaining the longevity of your results.

When should I re-start my monthly breast self-exams?

Your breasts will feel a bit unnatural for the first 6 weeks due to swelling. You will begin massaging after the first week and this will help you become familiar with the look and feel of your new breasts. You should resume your monthly BSE (breast self-exams) 6-8 weeks after surgery. A few minutes each month can affect the rest of your life.

How will pregnancy and/or breast-feeding affect my results?

Future pregnancy could affect your breast lift results. If you become pregnant, your breasts will grow and go through all of the usual changes associated with childbearing and breast-feeding. The amount of enlargement will vary from woman to woman. Your breast lift may need to be revised or redone if you lose volume or if your breasts sag.

Should I wait and have my breast lift after I am finished having children?

Although the results of breast lift surgery are typically long-lasting, significant weight fluctuations or subsequent pregnancies can have an impact on your results. In most cases, we recommend breast lift surgery once childbearing is complete.

How long will my breast lift results last?

Obviously, genetics play a major role in the quality of your skin, but your results can last for decades, as long as weight and proper support is maintained.

Why do I need to come in on an annual basis?

It is important to follow up on the first anniversary of your breast lift and every year after if possible, even if you have no concerns. It’s important for us to maintain an ongoing relationship with you.
