No, this procedure has no effect on the size of your breasts. However, it can be combined with procedures that do change breast size such as breast augmentation and breast reduction. During your consultation, we can discuss treatments that may pair well with your lift.

Paired for Optimal Outcomes
Over time and for a variety of reasons, breasts can lose firmness and develop sag.
The following factors may contribute to sagging breasts:
- Pregnancy
- Weight changes
- Gravity
This surgery can work for any size but it can affect the duration of results. Smaller breasts can have longer results because they don’t weigh as much as larger breasts. A larger breast’s weight can stretch the skin and create sag. The average duration of results is 10 to 15 years.
Patients typically return home the same day as their surgery unless there is a complication. Because of this, it is important to have someone drive you home and care for you over the first night. Before you leave, a highly trained specialist may place a thin tube near some of the incisions to drain fluid and prevent swelling.
We also recommend the following measures to ensure a speedy recovery:
- Care for the drains and change the bandages.
- Move carefully.
- Sleep on your back.
- Use medications to regulate pain or prevent infection
- Wear a special bra to reduce swelling and support your breasts as they heal.
The recovery process usually takes around 4 to 6 weeks. Prioritizing the recovery process is important to ensure the best results. At the time of booking your appointment, a trusted member of our team will go over your post-care practices.
