John Philip Di Saia, MD answers: How long does a breast lift last?

long wanted to get a breast lift - mastopexy - but worried I'll spend thousands and end up with the same saggy breasts i started with.  Am i right to be concerned?

Hello,

The longevity of a procedure varies between patients and with different techniques, but re-operative breast lifts are not the norm. Revisions if needed are usually minor unless the breasts are pretty large in which case they tend to sag again more often. Exceptionally active women tend to have more revisions as well probably due to "wear and tear."

Gravity always wins at least to an extent. ;)
