Breast lifts offer a solution for sagging breasts, but how long do the results truly last? Understanding the longevity of a breast lift and what factors impact the outcome can help set realistic expectations.

At Sasson Plastic Surgery in Great Neck, NY, you can trust in the expertise of Dr. Homayoun Sasson. With over 20 years of experience in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, a board-certified plastic surgeon, and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, Dr. Sasson specializes in breast procedures, helping patients achieve youthful, long-lasting results.

What Affects Breast Lift Longevity?

While a breast lift provides long-term results, several factors influence how long the outcome will last:

• Skin Elasticity: Patients with good skin elasticity tend to experience longer-lasting results.
• Breast Size: Smaller breasts often maintain their lifted shape longer than larger breasts due to less gravitational pull.
• Lifestyle: Your choices can significantly impact the longevity of your breast lift results. By maintaining a stable weight, avoiding smoking, and following a healthy lifestyle, you can empower yourself to extend the results of your breast lift.
• Surgical Technique: Advanced techniques used by board-certified plastic surgeons, like Dr. Sasson, can improve durability.

While no procedure can stop the aging process, maintaining a stable weight and following post-operative care can help extend the results of a breast lift.

How Long Does a Breast Lift Typically Last?

On average, breast lift results last between 10 to 15 years, but longevity varies based on several factors. Some patients maintain their results for much longer with proper care, while others may notice gradual changes sooner due to natural aging, lifestyle, and genetics.

Based on the American Society of Plastic Surgeons study cited in ScienceDaily, breast lift procedures (mastopexy) have a 96% patient satisfaction rate, with 99% of patients stating they would undergo the procedure again. 

Maintaining Your Breast Lift Results

To preserve breast lift outcomes, consider the following:

• Maintain a Stable Weight: Fluctuations in weight can affect breast shape.
• Wear Supportive Bras: Helps minimize sagging over time.
• Follow a Healthy Lifestyle: Proper nutrition and hydration contribute to skin elasticity.
• Avoid Smoking: Smoking accelerates skin aging and can impact long-term results.

Remember, you’re not alone in this journey. Regular follow-up appointments with your surgeon are an essential part of the process. They can help monitor your results, address any concerns, and provide the support you need over time.
