Breast lift options

Jeffrey E. Schreiber, MD answers: Breast lift - how long do results last?

I am almost done with nursing my twins babies (halleluia!).  It has taken quite a toll and I would like to get a breast lift, but I am wondering how long the surgery would be effective.  I'm not planning to, but what if I had another baby?  Would the breast lift hold up?  If I didn't have any more kids, how many years could I expect the effect of the breast lift to last?

A breast lift may last several years depending on your level of activity and the size of your breasts.  The more active you are the more gravity will pull on your breast tissue.  Also, with large breasts the weight of the breast tissue will also add to the recurrent sagginess after a lift.  Having more children will likely cause your lift to not last as long as the waxing and waning of your breast size after lactating will add to the breasts sagging.  Good luck!
