Otto Joseph Placik, 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?

SEE VIDEO of Breast lift without implants:

A breast lift will generally last as long as there are no major changes in the shape and volume of the breast. The major events that cause a change include pregnancy, weight gain/loss, and menopause.
