Are Results from a Breast Lift Permanent?
Question: Are the results from a breast lift permanent?
Answer: Nothing on our body that we are born with or have had altered by cosmetic surgery is “permanent”. Our breast size can change as our weight and hormone levels change during our lives. In addition, many patients who desire a breast lift have poor skin elasticity and loss of breast volume due to fluctuations in their weight and/or following breast feeding.
Certain aspects of a breast lift, like the position of the nipple typically does not change but the lower half of the breast can “bottom out” over time. Patients who have lost skin elasticity and have “lost” breast tissue not only desire a breast with a better shape and nipple position (breast lift) but also desire an increase in breast volume (breast augmentation). If a patient chooses a breast lift and a simultaneous augmentation, they will have to understand that like any medical device, the breast implant will not last forever.
